Hi
Just bought myself a new DJI phantom 3 drone. Installed the new firmware and calibrated the IMU as recommended. First Flight took several times to calibrate compass. Said there was a Metal interference, although I was minimum of 5 m away from any metal. During flight it was too bright to see my phone screen, so just flew in line of sight. When I re-watched my recordings from that flight, I saw unusual waves appearing in the video. There was something obviously wrong. afterwards I tried some of the intelligent flight modes. Only had enough battery power for point of interest and follow me. When I tried following me my drone went the opposite way that I was walking . Also there was something obviously wrong. PLEASE HELP!
It would be a great help if you could identify the problem that I was having with the camera. Thanks
 
You will fond that the video creating waves is standard as it's a live feed to the phone. Take out the SD card from the drone and you will see their is no waves on the footage [emoji4]

You may know this, but if you are taking off from concrete, there could be metal reinforcing in it that interferes. I know I have that problem with my driveway.

Hi
Thanks for the reply
Was flying for the first time in an oval with a cricket pitch. May have been the cause...

Does anyone know why my drone was flying away from me when in follow me mode? Only walk a few meters since I was worried it would crash into some trees.
