Recently swapped my P3S landing skids to P3A landing skids. Initially i was a little concerned with the new compass working properly. After seeing no difference in connectors I went for it.
The compass does work but gave me a good scare yesterday while flying. Doing a calibration in what I consider a not so great environment (school parking lot) the go app showed the compass was normal and i took off.
Scared the crap out of me seeing the screen pitch like that while flying. Video is only a min long.

You can see in the video that things got a little sideways. The quad put itself in Atti mode 2m 31s into the flight and I was able to fly it back... this time.
Obviously I need to re-calibrate in a clean area and try again but wanted to run all this by you guys first. would you be thinking this is more then likely a compass error due to bad calibration or could there be some sort of issue with the new compass?
I fly this area almost every other day and have never had a issue of any kind.
Thanks!
