Hello,

I have a question Mavic Air Compass calibration.
The second move/ position - the picture (DJI GO) shows the drone on its side but the user manual says point the nose down. No?

In the second position should the drone be rotated on its side or the camera down? It's not clear! The instruction manual also shows the DJI GO software as well.


Thanks for your help!

Hi, thanks for the inquiry. We're sorry to know about this situation, may we know if you manage to calibrate the compass of your drone using the instruction on the application? Please let us know for us to update our manual in any case that the instruction would be incorrect. Thank you for continued support.

Dear Tony,

I managed to calibrate the compass so that the drone is turned to its side and is rotated counterclockwise.
But is it not a problem that the drone is not looking at the earth with the camera, but I rotate it around the side as it is on the picture? There's also a person on Youtube who calibrates the camera to the ground, who is around the drone on its side.
I guess if the software accepts the calibration, is it so good? Whether the drone is on its side or the camera is facing the ground?

Thank you!

It doesn’t matter which way you hold it can be noes up down to the side, it will still calibrate.

Hi, thanks for the prompt reply. No worries, if the process is incorrect the application would notify you to re-calibrate again the compass, however, the compass calibration should be done in a recommended environment wherein there are no interferences to have a better calibration. Please keep us posted on the latest progress.

there are two planes, level,, and, upright, think of the craft affixed to a plane, and it can rotate on it too, doesnt matter, just so long you've covered two independent planes
