Wanted to calibrate IMU and compass before first flight.
First up, there is no need at all to calibrate anything before flying.
DJI have never suggestet that in their manuals.
It's a myth that has grown in this forum.
Cannot calibrate compass. Have tried multiple times in different places and always get failure message. It flies fine.
Usually a compass that won't calibrate is broken or disconnected.
But if yours is flying properly, the compass is properly calibrated.
You couldn't fly or hover without the compass being properly calibrated.
I want to make sure I'm able to calibrate out of the box and when needed.
The only time you would need to calibrate the compass is if you add or remove accessories or rebuild the drone.
It's not something you need to do in normal circumstances.
And having keys, jewellery etc in your packet won't have any effect on compass calibration as they aren't magnetic.
Unless the money clip magnet is quite powerful, it probably wouldn't have much effect in your pocket.
Wearing a watch with a magnetic clasp, might.
