[QUOTE="srcrain, post: 2584, member: 125"] Yes. It was on a brick/concrete pier. Perfect for launching and flying over water, so I never get near people but get beautiful shots of the city scape. I know it is not the best place to calibrate, but it is a very good place to launch and fly. Interestingly, the Spark didn't ask for a calibration, but it had a compass /interference error. So even if I calibrate it off the pier on grass, if I try to launch it from the pier I would get bad interference and no GPS. Again I don't think the use of this drone is for wide open grassy areas, but more for dense and noisy urban areas to launch and land quickly once you get your shot. At least that is how I see it being used. A drone like this that is extremely sensitive to interference at close range loses a lot of its usefulness in my opinion. I want to be able to take it out of my bag, launch it within a minute, fly for a few minutes to get my shot, and land it. That is impossible if it won't connect to GPS and always has compass/interference errors. [/QUOTE]
