I have a brand new MP and I am unable to calibrate the compass. I keep getting the interference warning that tells me to move 4.9 ft. away. I've removed all rings, my watch, belt, etc. I've tried in different locations from inside my house, back yard, and a fairly big area that is all grass and I keep getting the same message.
After two weeks of the flight simulator, lots of videos, and bad weather, I finally had the chance to fly it for the FIRST time, I tried to calibrate the compass (base on DJI preflight check list video) and got the message in my house, so I figured it was the house. The compass had one green bar and one small yellow so I figured it was OK to fly, since the DJI GO 4 app didn't give me any warning unless I went into settings and tried to calibrate. Figuring the compass was OK, based on the two colors that I saw, I tried to fly it with auto take off, after the home point was set. As it started to rise up it started to spin in a CW rotation and fly to my right. It was about 6ft. off the ground spinning, and not hovering, so I pushed the left joy stick down to get it to land. Wow what just happened I though. It DIDN'T take off and hover like the way it does in all the videos I've seen. Confused.
I tried to calibrate again in a more open area the next day and got the same warning about interference and to move away. I check the compass in the settings and had the same color signals, one green and one yellow. Figured it was OK since neither one was showing red. This time I tried to take off manually so I could control the speed of the lift off. Same thing happened, as it started to rise the drone started to spin CW and roll to the right. It got about 2' off the ground before I landed it. I tried to recalibrate again in different locations and keep getting the same warning. Very confused and disappointed. Remember the excitement you felt before your FIRST flight, well for me that's turned to disappointment.
So here I am with a total of 2 flights that don't even add up to 1 minute of air time and a drone that doesn't work properly. So now what, at my cost sent it back, wait a few weeks or more to get it returned and hope that one works properly.
FYI..... I have updated RC and the MP with the newest firmware, and I use it with a iPhone. I even uninstalled the app and reinstalled
