Good Morning Guys.

Firstly may I say thanks for a great forum, its been a big help to me.

This is my first post, so go easy and thanks for any help you can offer.

I've had my P3S now for about 6 weeks. I brought it from Jessops and in the main I love it.

Prior to the latest firmware update I had the usual range issues, but the update helped me, I'm glad to say. I have however always had compass errors, initially I put this down to residential area interference. However I've now flown in four different location, two of which should be clear of interference and I still have issues EVERY flight.

I am running all latest firmware and latest DJI GO on my note 4.

I've also noticed that when I do a POI I get these error message on the flight log play back. Could this be linked to the compass errors?



Where would I stand returning this to Jessops in your opinion and would I be right in doing so?

Many thanks, Phil.

I've only tried the POI twice, I've had the screen message (shown above) twice.

I've just uploaded all my flight logs to "health drones" virtually every flight has a magnetic field warning :-(

Thanks for any help you can provide.  What I cant tell is the firmware version of these flights, do you know if I can check that?

Hi Mindy,

Don't worry, my drone despite being only 6 weeks old and faulty from new, will rather unfairly (IMO) be going in for repair.

Thanks for your help and assistance.
