I've had my Mavic Pro for a little over a year and have up to now had very few issues with flights or updates.
However, in the last couple of weeks, I am constantly getting a "magnetic field interference detected" message and been prompted to recalibrate the compass.
I make sure that I am in an open area, without metal objects (keys/phone/RC) nearby but have been unable to calibrate correctly in the last few weeks (although I have had no problems in the past)
I am running the latest firmware on Mavic and RC and have tried recalibrating in more than 6 different locations (most of which I have successfully calibrated at before), however, the calibration ALWAYS fails when trying to do the second (downwards facing) spin.
I have reset factory default settings and tried different batteries... no success...
I can ignore the error message and fly the drone OK .... but am not keen on doing this for obvious reasons.
I have read threads on this and other forums, and it seems to be an occasional issue - usually requiring the drone to be sent back to DJI for repair.... It is (of course) just outside my 12 month DJI Care program... so I want to make sure I have exhausted all other options before I send it off.
In various forums, there are suggestions that DeGaussing the compasses (there are two on the Mavic Pro) may resolve the issue, but I am not keen to do this unless there seem no other alternatives.
Anyone else been having ongoing compass calibration issues... or have any suggestions for a fix?
