Hello, I had about the same problem with my mavic pro yesterday. Just as I actionned the automatic takeoff of the bird, it started acting wild and I got a red notification on the app saying compass problem or something like that. I was so panicked I forced the drone to land after like 10 seconds and it almost crashed in a car. I would like to fly it again today but don't know what to do to be sure the problem won't happen again. Should I just recalibrate the compass?
Do absolutely nothing at this moment. Go somewhere else (park nearby, soccer field etc.), power everything up and check the compass reading status there. If it's normal, then there's no reason to perform compass calibration. What you've witnessed was probably caused by local magnetic/radio interference, not much to worry about. However, it's always a good habit to be prepared for such rare situation, where the drone is switching from P-Mode to Atti-Mode unexpectedly. Abandon automatic take-off idea and employ manual launching instead. Shut her straight up with a persistence and practice Atti-Mode flight somewhere in wide open space. |
