compass

Ever since I went on a vacation in Hawaii, I have been unable to calibrate my compass and there is a compass error no matter what. I can't even fly due to these. Earlier, I managed to calibrate but I got an error immediately when I took off. Is this an error with the firmware or the drone itself?

Ok, I was given a damaged Phantom 3 Advanced (with the older 2312 motors) that had the Compass connector broken off when the owner tried to open the shell. So I figured I could either solder it back on or just order a new ESC board. But when I opened up the shell, to my surprise, the main esc...

Hello all, I am a new drone pilot and as such I immediately crashed into a tree. Now I am hoping some of the more experienced and tech savvy pilots will have pity on me and help me figure out the issues that my Phantom 3 Standard is having. I have scoured the manual and forums and have found...

Setting up a drone for scouting fish in the ocean, I made the stupid move of drilling holes through the landing gears to mount a longer landing gear and floats. Drilled right through the compass wires, although the antenna was not damaged. I am having trouble finding a parts list and getting...

Hello, I ve just buy Phantom 3 Pro, but I can not calibrate it, I'm searching forum for answers but I can not find help anywhere. I do as the instruction said, I update the firmware to 1.8 and install it to drone using DJI GO app. Im using DJI GO app not DJI Go 4 app. After this I was asked to...

Having a tough time finding someone to solder my compass connector back onto the board. All of the local computer, tablet and phone repair places ship out for soldering. Skilled workers are hard to find. I finally found a willing shop and they want 60 bucks...WTF. I can buy a new board for...

Recently took a spill with my P4Pro and did some damage to the landing gear and compass. Does anyone know where to buy these parts? I can't seem to find the package anywhere.. maybe DJI hasn't realized it to the public or service shops? Thanks in advance for your help!

So, I crashed my Phantom 3 Advanced and now the gimbal makes the normal sounds that it makes when it's moving, but doesn't move. The sound repeats as long as the power is on. On the screen on my phone it tells me that there is a compass error and to calibrate. All attempts to calibrate by...

I just got my P3 from Best Buy yesterday and have only flown it once. The first time I flew it I didn't calibrate it and now this time my drone won't take off unless I do calibrate it. When I calibrate it horizontally it works but when I do it vertically it says I'm too close to something metal...

Hello everyone! I have recently encountered a problem on my last job which has prevented me to fly my Phantom 3 Professional indoors. The error reported on screen was "Compass Error". Obviously this made sense, being inside a warehouse with probably a strong magnetic field interfering. What I...

My compass wasn't working after a crash so I opened up my phantom only to find the compass connector completely broken off. I tried soldering some wire to it but it seems the metal plates that were one the actual PCB were completely ripped off. Is there any way to solder this back together. Or...

I have a Phantom 2 and have had it since early 2014. Flown hundreds of flights with it and it has always performed perfectly. Mine is in NAZA mode. This weekend, I was flying from an overlook over a huge valley of trees for a while and when i brought it back, I noticed the rear LEDs (which...

What does this message mean? "Point GPS module's arrow to front of aircraft" (see image below). I ended up just rebooting my P4 and recalibrating the compass. The message then never reappeared. By the way, I did update the firmware the night before this flight. This is with an iPad Air 2 (128...

Hello! After sending in my Phantom 3 Advanced for inspection at DJI's US service center in California, it was repaired under warranty and shipped back to me. The repair "quote" (even though it was repaired under warranty) indicated it had the "Phantom 3 main control board component" replaced...

I've been flying my P3A for 1-1/2 years and have never experienced an inflight compass error - until today. I'll tell you it's one scary feeling to watch your drone shoot off uncontrollably. Fortunately, after looking down and seeing the compass error warning flashing at me, I flipped the flight...

I am getting that sinking feeling. I was flying a P3S and I decided I wanted to move up to the Advanced to improve range. I purchased it around 11 Oct. I upgraded the firmware on the controller with no problem Upgrading the bird was a different story. Failed after multiple attempts using DJI...

Hey. Ive been using DJI drones for 2 years starting with Phantom 1. Recently my P3P's image quality doesn't seem to be cutting it, the sensor may be going, i've noticed a loss of detail and light in some photos. I had the drone up at a RE shoot today and got a compass error and a damaged battery...

Regarding this.... When calibrating Remove all metal from within 10ft radius, e.g. watch, phone, ring, belt, coins, controller. No issues... perfectly clear !!! After calibration and when flying can the above items go back on, or do they stay off ? I'm not sure I'm wanting my pants to...

Hello everyone, I received my Phantom 3 Standard about 2 months ago, and out of the box I always experienced intermittent compass issues. Recently I have been completely unable to fly due to this errors, and upon further digging I saw that the compass sensor values were all zero. I read online...

As a general rule I always calibrate my compass before lift off (I'm a safety kinda guy), however when I get to my next location which sometimes is 10 miles away, (once I was 40 miles from my last location) I turn everything on it tells me that my home point has been updated please check it on...
