Compass Calibration

[Pete Leare]

Just curious on this one, and would like opinions..

When you do a compass calibration, do you stand still and rotate the bird with both hands, or do you keep the bird still and spin your whole body around AKA the 'bird dance'?

I have done both with no issues, but I prefer to do the 'dance' because for me at least, there's less chance of dropping it. Would be interested in hearing your thoughts..

I always hold the P3 by two legs at arm's length and then turn my whole body around each time. It's very simple. I never just turn the P3.

Whenever this question comes up, there are usually some entertaining replies about dancing.

It's been a while since this one's come up.

I rotate my body. It's easier than trying to rotate the Phantom in my hands -- and worrying about dropping it. Either way works though. Neither method is better than the other.

PS. Funny, but I've been doing this with P2 more than 1 year ago. IMHO is the best and easiest way.
