Really sorry to hear about your experience, thought I would relate mine for better or worse. I purchased a P4P+ direct from DJI. No matter where I was (including isolated woodlands), it reported strong magnetic interference. The only metal around was the iron in my blood. Both Compass 1 and 2 would say "Check compass module installation direction". Would not calibrate (failed each attempt). Send it in. I had previously purchased DJI Care Refresh.
I got a brand new model back. It looked brand new and had all the packing stickers on it (the warnings near the prop mounts, and the little orange tabbed protector stickers over all the sensors and lens). Different serial number of course. I do not know if having DJI Care Refresh made a difference (ie did I get a new one because of that, or just luck of the draw).
Unfortunately, this one was also defective. Compass 2 is fine, always reads nicely, and it calibrates, BUT Compass 1 always says "Disconnected". It flew fine, but I paid $1700 for a device with redundancy and I should not have to settle for one with only one working compass. So I just sent that one back in also. It just arrived in Carson, CA yesterday.
Will see what happens. But this point, I am sure they have a lot of returns (including my original!) so I may get a used/refurb. Will see. |
