[QUOTE="shorttimer, post: 4328, member: 10"] Having read a number of threads I was wondering what others are seeing. In all my miles (over 300) on my P3A and P3P as well as my Mavic I have seen a compass error once. My Spark, out of the box seemed to give me a compass error when flying right in my front yard, really intermittent just every now and then and it is never consistent with any area. My other P3 and Mavic have no issues at all. So I put it on my deck to take off from there. It gave me a compass error there as well. The only thing metal was a screw underneath maybe 10" away. So maybe because it sits lower to the ground it is more vulnerable. I put my other drones in exact same spot and no problem at all. So it appears, at least to me, it is a lot more sensitive. Mine just displays the error randomly but yet flies perfectly straight as well as lands exactly where it took off from. Just upgraded the firmware, calibrated the IMU and will calibrate the compass on the Spark to see if it makes any difference. Are others seeing more compass errors than say on their other drones?
