Check out the below link. They're flying a phantom 3 without any issues in a metal cargo ship. Does the p3 compass work differently than the p4 and mavic's compass?

Aloha fans99b,
That was not a P3 used in the inspections, only a P3 camera;
"To visually evaluate the MV Apollo’s structural components, the two surveyors used a UAV equipped with a DJI Phantom 3 camera that streamed live video to a tablet. One surveyor piloted the UAV, while the other focused on the real-time video feed. Additional lights were installed on the UAV, and its propellers were fitted with protective gear. Because the additional lights reduced the UAV’s battery life, the survey team had six to seven charged batteries available and landed the UAV approximately every 15 min to furnish it with a fresh battery."
They also appear to have used an Inspire remote controller. They had a pilot and a videographer, but it is not clear if they each had their own controller. It is unclear if they recorded their flights. They appear to have built their system from the ground up out of DJI parts. So, assumptions about the compass would be invalid until more information is known about their UAV design.
Aloha and Drone On! |
