    compass calibration mode

    Problem solved! :D On the DJI video, Colin describes the way to enter the "compass calibration" as switching between GPS mode and ATTI mode 'quickly". The term "quickly" being both relative and subjective. I was doing it quickly all right, REALLY quickly. It turns out I had to slow it down...

    compass calibration mode

    Well, I've read a couple of versions of this. Some people say they calibrate the compass every flight. Some like you say not. I have been flying even though I can't get into "compass calibration" mode, and so far so good. That being said it would be nice to calibrate when I want. I have had...

    compass calibration mode

    I try to calibrate the compass every time I fly, however it won't let me calibrate the compass because it will not go into calibration mode.

    FPV via GPro

    I'm a newbie. I have a DJI Quadcopter and a GoPro Hero 3+. Are there any goggles that will allow me to have FPV utilizing the GpoPro 3's WiFi function? This is all really confusing and the information on how the goggles function is pretty obscure. I can use my smartphone and a GoPro app to...
