Compass calibration indoors

Questions & Answers

Hi folks, On my mini 3 pro DJI-RC under notifications it said transmitter compass calibration needed, I did it indoors with few if any satellites connected, is that ok or should I do it again outside with drone connected and good GPS signal?
Thanks … Rod

Don’t own a DJI myself but found this:

DO NOT calibrate the Mavic compass if:

  • The Mavic is near concrete, buildings, and/or hidden or overhead power lines/pipes/etc.
  • You’re indoors, on a paved surface, on a stone surface, on the beach, on a boat, on a balcony, near a car, near speakers, etc.

Would say this is still relevant for the Mini.

Thanks Dave @SeaHunter I never thought of that :thinking:, next time I am out in the field I will do it again.

Personally I would never do a compass calibration indoors as there’s too much potential magnetic interference.

@HantsFlyer Thanks, After starting with a Holy Stone 720E which flew away and crashed into our bungalow I am paranoid about getting it right. :slightly_smiling_face:
