Hi there! I've flown a P4 successfully, a P4P not so successfully and had an M210 RTK that wouldn't take off due to compass calibration failures at 80 deg. North in Canada. Mind you, we are very close to the Magnetic pole around those parts. I have a buddy that has issues in some areas in Svalbard (80 deg North- Norway), but those seem to be more localized.
Unfortunately- you should be prepared to be stuck up there with a drone that won't fly due to compass issues...
Hi guys. Sorry about the late reply. I did successfully fly the P4 Pro in Antarctica. Issues I had was the P4 Pro started each flight with the old toilet bowl effect for the first 10 seconds. It was probably confused as at Scott Base you are south of the magnetic south pole, so the compass says one direction for north and the GPS says the opposite direction.
As you mentioned Fanam, the M210 RTK was not as useful as I first thought. I thought that the two RTK antennas would override the compass, instead it would not take off when they were enabled. However it flew like the P4 Pro with them disabled, and I had a third party PPK system installed for photo positioning. |
