DJI Mavic Compass Calibration

Step by step guide on how to calibrate the compass on a DJI Mavic Pro and DJI Mavic Platinum drone.

In this post, we will look at how to perform a Compass Calibration on the DJI Mavic Pro and the DJI Mavic Platinum. Compass calibration should be performed when setting up at each new location with your aircraft.

  1. Power up your Mavic as usual.

  2. Wait until your Mavic is ready to fly.

  3. Go into the "Aircraft Status Bar" and find "Compass," then click "Calibrate." This will start the calibration process.

  4. Confirm solid yellow rear lights.

  5. Please pick up the Mavic and turn it smoothly and steadily 360 degrees until the lights turn solid green.

  6. Point the front of the Mavic straight down and repeat until the lights turn off, then resume standard flashing. Note: Don't be concerned if your gimbal reacts poorly to being face down; keep turning as usual.
