dji's in app instructions are wrong, i reported this to an admin here, lets hope dji corrects these instructions.
when you calibrate the compass, follow the app's instructions for step 1 of spinning the drone flat out. then for step 2 instead of turning the drone sideways like the app wrongly suggests, turn the drone so the camera facing the sky (so the dronne is up/down) and spin it around itself. you should get a successful calibration and it shouldn't annoy you anymore unless near metal or something
Don't know what you are talking about... I've tried all methods of calibration with my Mavic Air. But the methods that work in the US, including what is in the app, and others I've seen on youtube, do not work when in South America or Marshall Islands.
It has nothing to do with magnetic interference, watches, or method. There is either a hardware or a firmware issue with Mavic Air and DJI does not address it.
My Mavic Air has worked in Oregon, California and even Hawaii!!! But I took it out of the country twice and it never calibrated, using the same methods that calibrate compass in the US.
My Mavic Pro, on the other hand, does not need calibration as often and calibrates on first try, including when I take it abroad. There is a difference between these two drones. The answer is there. DJI knows it. I bought the Mavic Air because it is lighter and packs smaller than the Mavic Pro. Instead, now I take the Mavic Pro, I pack only one extra battery and do not bring the hub to charge batteries simultaneously. Then it packs just slightly larger than the Mavic Air with three batteries.
I would recommend returning the Mavic Air, it is the only solution up to now.
Thanks. |
