Premise:
Day a little windy.
low battery.

I have run 3 rocket since I have the DJI Spark.
This is the first one that has failed me.

I came home. I recharged 1 battery. I reinstalled the last fw official

video:

Yep....mine does the same thing.  Hoping for a firmware update in the near future to correct it.

In this case calibrating the compass can help me?

I've found that your clothing should be pretty contrast-y to the ground around you. Here, white shirt + very light (sand) background - plus the shadows you're standing in - and it lost you. Same shot with a red or blue shirt won't - especially if you're not standing in the shadows.

Clothing may or may not effect the tracking but in theory, clothing SHOULDN'T have anything to do with it.  The Rocket mode is just supposed to go straight up and hover....  Instead once it gets to the top it drifts off to the side.
