[QUOTE="Texas Gonzo, post: 18475, member: 3142"] Yah, those are red tile roofs, and the metal awnings/carports would be of far less concern than the hundreds of wifi devices in the area. At minimum, you can guarantee atleast one wifi signal to be coming from each and every house in the area, if not more like four or five with all the peripherals we have in our lives these days. DJI doesn't like interference at all, even my single router seems to cause communication issues when i try to setup a flight too close to the house. I wouldn't consider launching in a highly populated area such as shown in this clip, not without expecting to lose my uav. And yes, large metal objects nearby DO cause compass errors, which will lose your drone faster than anything. If it doesn't know which direction its pointing, it can't possibly know which way is back home. :-/ Try setting up near a Santa Fe crewcar* sometime, hah. I live in one, and it definitely messes with both my Spark and P3S (P3S even more so). *basically a 45' boxcar with windows and people sized doors, 3/16" steel skin and about a hundred years old.
