DJI Phantom 4 | When and how to calibrate the IMU

[@TheManWithTheHat]

Thank you Tom. Great video which saved me hours of searching how to do it.

[@ezfpvemillianozapatta8679]

Tom I really appreciate your videos. just purchased Autel and P4 ...I have watched HUNDREDS of videos...yours are THE BEST !! FROM THE CARIBBEAN THANK YOU EMILLIO

[@LouisArmstrong7]

Awesome video, your channel has helped solve many of my problems! However my Phantom 4 keeps losing signal and disconnecting from controller even when it is clearly visible, do you have any suggestions? Thanks

[@danielv301]

Your latest videos are very helpful and unique in the KZbin. Thank you ! I got IMU error 2 times in mid-air on my P3, and it's very scaring, it drifts away, só i need to manually do a emergency return and landing on my own. The screen tilts about 30º, so do the phantom. It may be the case my IMU is needing a calibrate. Again, Thank You from Brazil!

[@alexisgourounaki]

hello from greece!!please can you tell me what app is on your cellphone for calibrate my phantom?its on 2:25,thanks

[@NeerajYadav-yl2kl]

What is that app you used for flat surface checking ?

[@are6mr2]

Thanks tom! What screen protector are you using on your Ipad and is it anti glare?

[@willd.8040]

I know a German who is not precise. haha. Just messing around with you. Good channel. I really like the presentation, i.e graphics. What program do you use to create them?

[@woodypeterkin1890]

Such an awesome and informative channel!!

[@360milehightours8]

Can you still do a manual compass calibration by flipping the gps/atti toggle switch back and forth 5 times?

[@77jbob]

Do you know how to fix live feed freeze up and purple and green lines? Thanks

[@daveknowshow]

so I purchased a dji phantom 3 standard edition. it seems to fly ok but it will NOT auto launch / auto take off. it will auto land. it seems as soon as I start the motors the thing thinks its already off the ground the the icon for auto launch changes to auto land. is there a way to fix this or have I got a lemon and simply need to return it for an exchange?

[@Chris-py3ec]

Can you list where you picked up that neck strap?

[@johnshwe]

My camera doen't align even IMU is calibrated. Please help. Thanks. John.

[@djlewilondon]

Which app did you use to check your phantom was perfectly level?

[@colinsouthard734]

You have the best intro man

[@BardhokNdoji]

Another helpful video, as usual. Thank You.

[@aladdin2004]

I'm a ham radio operator. I want to use my Phantom 4 to put a small line up into a tall tree then haul up a heavy line to support a 102' wire antenna. Is it possible to use the Phantom 4 to do that? I'm thinking fishing line type maybe 50 lb test line. comments?

[@sandeepvishwakarma1256]

Sir Phantom 4 advanced remote control blinking red light problem

[@LouieRC]

I've got error code -50 when trying to calibrate imu. Two red solid lights under drone too which indicates critical but I've never had a crash. Will be sending back soon. Anyone know any fixes before I send?

[@sky-cats]

What app you use at 2:32?

[@NadimALMallah]

i saw a litchi app on ur dive can you make a tutorial on it ?

[@assaulttrooper6991]

I Have flown P3P for first time (forgot to calibrate IMU) and it flew fine. Is there any point to calibrate if nothing seems off?

[@selton7502]

hey...i have a phantom 4 ...i have a problem..my drone dont fly full forward as it should.. right, left and back works good...tried to calibrate the sticks, but didnt help...do you have some ideas..? :)

[@PaulCrusePhotography]

[@ivantomicic6799]

Hey Tom, what strap for remote you are using? THANKS

[@TomsTechTime]

Hi! did the cold IMU callibration after the new firmware update. since then the p4 have been starting to do warm-up's that last for around 2-3 min, any one else have the same problem and if so got any tip how to solve it?

[@maloalaletek450]

how to calibrate gmbal if camera gimbal not appear in application dji go 4?pls help!

[@sisterna2298]

hola como estas perdón no escribo en ingles sabes que cada vez que lo enciendo me pide calibrar el imu? nunca tuvo un golpe ni nada por el estilo

[@linakagabrielsadventures1508]

When calibrating my IMU on the P4 it takes a very long time and I have not been able to get passed the second step, as there 6 steps..? any ideas?

[@antelopevalleywatchmen6145]

Linaka & Gabriel's Adventures same with mine

[@DeanLoveFilms]

Mine too

[@davide7139]

I was wondering where the actual IMU for the camera gimbal on the Phantom is? I presume this is a separate IMU from the copter.

[@7705030]

One advice,- instead of checking the table/platform for insurance of the leveling of the copter use glass plate on top of the motors as the copter it self has very good ability to be unleveled based on the position of the legs.

[@saradoloksaribu4216]

Thank you for your great tutorial, after that how about the gimbal is still overloaded?

[@tehshzz]

Tom, Which neck strap do you have?

[@TomsTechTime]

You find it here: www.tomstechtime.com/gadgets Stay tuned and fly safe!

[@StewartVlogs]

Great stuff Tom!

[@antelopevalleywatchmen6145]

I have a phantom 4 it connects to the controller it connects to my application but it does not connect to my camera.. in the upper left-hand corner of the app it says no signal constantly.. how do I fix this issue

[@Steadicam305]

I calibrated everything and my horizon is tilted. I'm noticing it was after the latest update. Any way to correct this?

[@vdyojunkie1229]

how do you calibrate the camera for dji phantom 3?

[@26u_80]

hello sir..what if the internal IMU calibration is failed... how can i fix it.. is it ok to fly...

[@williampetzer4285]

Hi Tom can you pls help me i have a phantom 2 with the Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal and dji data link.I bought it used and was told it had been in a crash .It was not a bad crash and looks good outside and inside .I have removed the gimbal and data link as to make it standard .it binds to the remote and picks up gps and the compass is calibrated .However it dose not seem to want to come down When in the air .And is very jittery almost like a car running out of fuel.And dose not want to land easily i have connected it to my pc and done a fiermware update and a IMU calibrations .it is running on the Naza -m mode . any help please Show less REPLY

[@Gershy13]

Does the same procedure apply to the Phantom 3 aswell?

[@TomsTechTime]

Basically yes. It looks a little different though, as the P3 has a single IMU only, but the procedure is the same. Stay tuned and fly safe.

[@Gershy13]

Tom's Tech Time ohh OK thanks...

[@chrisk4265]

do i have to do this on the spot outside where i plan to fly?

[@techprojector7009]

No...not every time...if you are facing unstable hover and frequent compass errors than calibrate the IMU on a level surface far away from EM interference

[@AfreeIR]

Good instruction, should have included compass calibration too.

[@uniquephotographybhind3686]

DJI Phantom 4 advance plus compas error please solved my problem

[@charlesraphy1251]

Tom's Tech Time can u please send me a DJI Phantom 4

[@Ouzmiester8]

Do I do this for the Dji phantom 3 professional as well or no

[@danielv301]

Yes. And it is even more important, since the P3 have only one IMU.

[@ve9mj]

great tips!!!

[@user-jl4sv3nf1t]

When I do an IMU calibration it has me turning the drone on its side, back, front, and top. Why is this different from what you just showed?

[@user-jl4sv3nf1t]

Tom Kelly: The first couple times I tried this it just sat there after the forth step.Then I noticed looking closely that it was waiting for me to flip on its backside. I think it was step 4 where it had stopped (4/6)doing anything. In the sunlight I was not able to see the picture clearly and that it wanted me to turn it. Look at the pictures very closely as you are calibrating. Don't worry, you can't mess anything up, cause eventually you'll get it straightened out. Once I knew this it whizzed right through the calibration. Second word of advise: Find a surface that is SOLID and cannot move. I did mine on the cement slab in my driveway, when I had tried inside my house on a table, the table moved enough to throw it off as I was turning it. Make sure the surface is perfectly level and stable. I ended up with almost zero's when I was done. Hope this helps!

[@jayfordpecotte4796]

my Phantom 4 has been calibrating for over10 minutes now with no movement in status??? I did this because of the firmware update and now it seems stuck

[@sureshdakgm]

sir calibration failed error 71 in phantom 4 (overall status abnormal)

[@ranjanch1843]

not able to calibrate after it reaches 2%. Then imu error occurs. Any suggestion?

[@vanessajazp6341]

LOL @ 2:30 - "And not only because I'm German and precise". Very true

[@BuckBowen]

If it appears your IMU Calibration is stuck on 2 you need to *DO WHAT THE PHOTO ON THE LEFT SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN SHOWS.* You have to physically mimmic the picture.

[@pravinkumarbagale2448]

my phantom 4 imu calibration error code 13. how to solve this problem

[@UrAvgRasian]

This video would have been helpful two days ago then me stressing out why is my gimbal moving on its own in mid flight. Also unpacking it and updating it and not doing the check could be the problem

[@KalebLudwig810]

Is calibrating the IMU on a Phantom 3 similar?

[@AlfexOmega]

it's the exact same process yes

[@frab88]

Why would it be better to calibrate the sensors when they are cold?

[@jackquinndennis1636]

My only problem was understanding the word "sensor" as I took it as "center"... FYI us NBie's have to have a slow, even, clearly visual clue to allow us to follow you thru the steps... Or maybe it's just me...

[@stephenpower1]

No, it's not just you. I had to replay that section 5 times. I still heard 'centre' and it was only your post that clarified it for me. I also find the TTT Toms Techtime really irritating and childish.

[@dronetv3720]

Thanks Bro

[@kevinm1807]

thumbs up, but awesome tutorial bro

[@zews1]

Another great video from you. You really need to lose the sunglasses from the top of your head. ;-)

[@iwwfs]

wow look at all those chemtrails 2:40

[@Gershy13]

Who else thinks his intro sounds like a bit of Adele's Hello?

[@svtwodrifters6690]

This is totally different from the DJI 4 app

I like the info, I like your videos BUT!! The hard sale crap has got to go!! I will NOT Subscribe because: 1) 50 sec into video add for your stuff pops up. 2) 1:50 add pops up for your stuff. TOO MUCH! If you want to tag an add at the end, great! But hard sell? I'm out! There are plenty of drone youtubers out there without hard sell.

Do you know how to fix live feed freeze up and purple and green lines? Thanks
