DJI Mini 5 Pro - Compass Calibration

The compass tracks the drone and on

point position. If it is not calibrated

properly, the drone might fly

erratically or crash. It also plays an

important role in the case of a return

to home.

The procedure is very simple. We find

the compass calibration in the safety

tab of settings just above the one for

the IMU.

We select an area free from metal and

electrically charged objects. Notice

that the calibration might fail in low

light condition.

The aircraft should be held

approximately 1.5 m about 5 ft above the

ground, roughly a shoulder height.

After hitting the start button, simply

follow the onscreen instructions.

First rotate the drone 360°

horizontally. Then turn it to a vertical

position and repeat the rotation.

The maneuver can be accomplished by

simply rotating the hand holding the

aircraft. There is no need to perform

complex circular dances or other

dangerous acrobatics.

The calibration result will be shown on

the screen. In case of failure, try

again farther from interferences.
