Hi Yraegal, while KerryG May have slightly exaggerated at 10 seconds, to calibrate M2 takes no more than 20 seconds, I’m not counting usual start up wait for green I’m talking only about basically doing 2x 360 and calibration is done.
As someone who owns both M2’s I have similar problems you have and it’s nothing to do with magnetic interference as is being said by the usual idiot that if you listen to knows absolutely nothing about how M2 works or anything to do with compass.
It’s clear that dji have initiated early warning to calibrate compass in M2’s , particularly if you travel even small distance, so last week I took off from a spot I launch from most of the time I fly, didn’t need to calibrate, a couple of days later I traveled 30 miles was asked to calibrate, couple of days back at usual location I’m asked to calibrate, for no other good reason than I traveled some distance.
I own and still fly mavic1 , I have calibrated once in 3 years I have never been asked to calibrate and my compass values are the same as the day I purchased it and I won’t ever calibrate it unless it prompts me to and even then I will try moving first.
With dji new craft M2 and mavic air which are totally different than mavic1 and have 95% less compass problems that cause crashes, sensors seem to be set very sensitive and call for calibration much more than craft like Mavic1, phantom4, phantom 4pro etc, but equally M2’s are much less likely to crash as a result of compass problems than those other craft I mentioned.
I believe your going to have to get proficient with calibration which is pretty simple, expect it to show at anytime, but always remember once calibrated you can be safe in the knowledge your craft is good to fly .
I think you will find many users experience similar, I do on both my craft, but it’s no problem to calibrate and I’m also happy in the knowledge that my M2 Cannot calibrate compass wrong because until I calibrate it correctly it will continue to warn me this is a good guarantee on this craft that was missing from many other older craft from dji . |
