Hello everyone!
I have recently encountered a problem on my last job which has prevented me to fly my Phantom 3 Professional indoors.
The error reported on screen was "Compass Error". Obviously this made sense, being inside a warehouse with probably a strong magnetic field interfering. What I don't understand though is why if I switched it to fully manual, would it not start? No take off whatsoever, I've tried both the manual command to take off and the automatic one on screen, both failed to start the motors and the compass error message continued to display.
I've also tried to start it up outside and it did, and then proceeded to bring it inside by hand while it was on and after about 10 seconds it began to land automatically! I had barely any control on the height anymore.
This is the first time it has happened to me, I have flown it indoors on other occasions with no problems. Anybody had this issue? Google doesn't seem to help much on this.
I have had another request to fly indoors next week and I'm worried it will fail again. Thanks for your time!
