Literally today I just received my new DJI phantom 3 Standard in the mail direct purchase from the DJI website. Also purchased DJI Care , after suffering a mishap with my previous one.
First time flying it tonight, battery & controller charged 100%. I calibrated the compass, got safe to fly GPS, everything ready to go I take off and I get about 100 feet and it says Compass error and switch to Atti-mode.
so I landed it recalibrated the compass took off same thing, so I landed it right away it was about a three minute flight in total. I was just testing it out in suburbia and residential area. I recalibrated IMU, recalibrate the compass, and did a firmware upgrade.
I was ready to take it for another test flight when it said again Compass Error, switch to Atti mode. So I didn't take off.
I don't know what the issue is, on my previous phantom three standard I have calibrated and Flonase in the exact same spot over 40 times with this era never popping up. After a while with playing with it on the ground figuring out what was wrong, I realize that even when I pick it up with my hand over the top it will go from GPS mode to Addie mo after a while with playing with it on the ground figuring out what was wrong, I realize that even when I pick it up with my hand over the top it will go from GPS mode to Atti Mode and loses all the satellites. so I played with it a few more times and I found that when I put my hand on top or near the top where the DJI sticker logo is, the GPS signal decreases and then switches to atti mode.
This doesn't make me very comfortable flying it because it switches at its own will. Has anyone ever ran into this issue? I'm kind of frustrated because this is a brand-new phantom three straight out of the box.
Has anyone counter this error? if so how do you fix it or are there any recommendations without having to send it back to Dji. |
