Hi guys, need some advice if you will.
I took a boat ride and wanted to fly my spark but as I turned it on the AC told me it needed calibration. I gave up the idea of flying it from the boat, and couldn't calibrated it right there, as it was rocking, and I didn't calibrated it before, so what I'm asking is this: if I calibrate it BEFORE I board the ship will it be ok to fly it if I get the calibrating message again DURING the boat ride?
I'm not planning on flying it while the boat moves, just when it's anchored.
Thak you in advance for your relevant answers.

Hi thanks for reaching DJI Forum, we do apologize if you are having issues with calibrating your aircraft. Yes, you may try calibrating the AC prior to the boat ride, I suggest you do the calibration at the shore.

What a stunning shot - good work

I second that!

Hard boat rocking making it think its IMU was off cal?  Maybe. Though something was wrong because it is wobbling all around but wasn't flying.  Should be a steady one gravity while landed but likely didn't have that.  

Hand hold it so you provide some stabilization on boot up?

You did good as only calabrate imu on level ground and a boat would not be good place to do. btw pic looks great.

Was the boat made of metal or where you standing near any radar/motors etc? That could've been what threw the sensors off making your Spark think it needed to calibrate?

It will give issues if you try to take off from the boat/deck due to interference. Hold it on your hand and check whether there is issues with IMU. If the problem didn't go away then you have to follow DJI's advice.

I had a similar issue when I tried to take of from the deck. All worked fine when I hold on my palm.

Hope it helps.

Thanks for all your answers guys. The boat was made of wood (big one, 2 masts) and I went at the bow (no metal parts) when I tried to fly it. I think it was the rocking that did it. Anyway, I just opened the Spark again, no calibration issues on hard land.
I'll try again tomorow, on a smaller boat, and I'll just fly it from dry land if I encounter problems.

Really nice shot ! Welldone !
