DJI Flip Compass Calibration

The compass keeps track of the position

of the drone and the home point.

If it is not calibrated properly, the

drone may fly erratically or crash.

It also plays an important role in the

case of a return to home.

We calibrate it only when prompted by

the app or when we have not used the

drone for a long time.

The procedure is simple. In the top

safety of the settings, we find the

option for the compass calibration just

above the one for the IMU.

Like before, we choose an area free from

metal and magnetic fields.

Notice that the calibration might fail

in low light.

The aircraft must be held at a height of

about 1.5 m or 5t from the ground, which

for most people is at shoulder height.

After hitting the start button, simply

follow the instruction on the screen.

First, rotate the drone 360°

horizontally.

Then, turn it to a vertical position and

do the same.

The maneuver can be accomplished by

simply rotating the hand holding the

aircraft. No need to perform complex

circular dances or other dangerous

acrobatics.

A prompt on the screen will show the

result. In case of failure, try again

farther away from interferences.
