Hey everyone,
For the longest time, I thought that my phantom 4 pro was ready to go in for service due to the compass intermittently failing on me before flight. A compass redundancy switch error would pop up and would prompt me to calibrate, which would oftentimes lead to calibration failure. Well, after a bit of testing, I found that the large magnets found in the Sony Alpha cameras which control In Body Image Stabilization are the culprit. When I simply sling my Sony A7R III over my shoulder, the interference skyrocketed. I went as far as moving the camera within a foot of the drone ( I don't recommend doing it), and the interference spike was enormous. I figured this was common sense, but I still think its a good FYI. Check it out:
