Magnetic Interference & Compass Calibration

[Mark Mesenko]

Can anyone explain (or show on a video) how to correctly perform a compass calibration? I was told by a 3DR tech to try it because of constant magnetic interference issues I seem to have, no matter where I am on the planet. I did discover today that my Solo likes to be pointed west. I'm obviously a horrible calibrator because the animation confuses me and I fail over and over.

1. initate the calibration in the app
2. rotate Solo by 360 degrees around ALL axis
3. continue until you get the green check mark

You may also Google for "naza dance" to find plenty of videos how the DJI pilots are handling this
