[QUOTE="shegeek72, post: 51949, member: 9304"] FYI - found this on the DJI forum ([URL='https://forum.dji.com/thread-104222-1-1.html']link[/URL]): Tip To Help Avoid compass interference and crash. 1/ Never calibrate Compass unless prompted to. 2/ start AC leave until you receive enough gps lock , 3/ if you get Compass interference turn off AC and move to another location, without interference. 4/ In bottom left hand corner on your map you will see small red triangle, check to make sure that this triangle is pointing in the same direction (heading) as your AC, this will show good compass on the ground. Raise AC to height of 8ft Hover for 20 seconds Fly forward 2ft Backward 2ft Left 2ft Right 2ft Up 2ft Down 2ft Yaw left Yaw right Each time returning to hover position If you have a good horizontal each time, you will then know you have good GPS good IMU and good Compass, and your ready to fly. This exercise takes less than 2 minutes and is worthwhile doing before every flight, [If this has already been posted there maybe some who haven't read it. -like me] [/QUOTE]
