I have 2 Canon S100s mounted to the Solo with @IMP Concepts mounts. The S100s have built in GPS. One of the cameras has an Event38 filter for NDVI.
The rear one appears to be causing magnetic interference when I power on the Solo with cameras mounted. If I power on Solo w/ rear camera off, wait until Solo gets GPS lock, and then mount camera, it seems to work. I have flown twice by following this procedure. While my 2 test flights have worked, I'm concerned I could encounter mag interference while in flight and thus create problems.
I'm trying to think of ways to shield the multiple compasses. I know one is in leg 4. I've tried cardboard between leg and camera and that didn't help.
Right now, I seem to be betting about 8 minutes of flight time with this weight. That is mostly hovering in a 15+mph wind.

I'm looking for ideas on how to reduce/eliminate the magnetic interference.
