Green flash?

sahe · Jun 6, 2017

When i spin my drone in a circle, then in a vertical circle, the light begins to flash green. No manual says anything about this. Does this happen to anyone else?

I hope you are kidding. It is an important procedure you do before flying. It IS in the manual!

It's called calibrating the compass.

Ah, I know those days,
Simple as Pie. Let her show us.
All DJI Drones have the same procedure for compass calibration.

OP is on another thread wanting help says he bought a Phantom 3 & got a FC40 & not giving much info about it or answering questions from members trying to help him

I know. I read through the whole manual a couple times. After i calibrated, the light flashed differently than everyone elses did. Its been fixed though

You'll know whether or not if it is good, I hope there isn't a fly away and all goes well.

Well it already almost flew away. Was just trying to land it and it just took off, crashed in my neighbors yard luckily. Ive only flown it in atti mode since then
