I attempted using the search feature but all I got was a dialog box with product? I've sent an e-mail to SUPPORT, suspect it will be days before (if ever) I hear anything and likely will not work.

I am new, I am attempting to calibrate the IMU per instructions. The Phantom 4 has the latest firmware update and as does the APP been updated..

In the IMU calibration it is locked on screen . . , which I interpret as 2 of 6. I have restarted the process and same thing multiple times. I have waited for over one-hour with no success. I have attempted Googling, but not sure of some of the responses. THIS BIRD HAS NEVER FLOWN, am I to presume, DO NOT FLY IT WITHOUT IMU CALIBRATION?

Thanks,
John

Be sure your setting the correct orientation during the calibration...  Its drone Upright and Level, Drone Right side, Drone Left Side, Drone Nose, Drone Tail, Drone upside down.  The Images shown in the app are with the Drone FACING you.   If you don't set it the way it expects it will just sit there waiting.   There are several YouTube videos that demonstrate much better then the prompting in the app

Not compass, IMU. Instructions only require on a level surface for IMU calibration.

The P4 IMU calibration now works as described in post 3.

Which firmware are you using on P4, it's been a while now since sitting level was the requirement for IMU calibration ?

Hi John, the latest firmware has 6 directions to calibrate the IMU, please try to turn off the drone and cooling it for a while. Then start the drone and calibrate the IMU according to the direction that the app introduced again. See if it helps.
