As to the camera removal for calibration - I was shocked that the manual did not call for removal of the C23 before Compass calibration so at first, I removed the camera and tried and it did not work. Not giving up, I found that I could initiate the calibration first, and then as mentioned above; remove the camera and continue. I would note that I calibrated the compass on my (still working) Plus in mid July 2018 and have not calibrated since. Another forum member - the first forum member in the US to get the H Plus (Mickyboo), got his Plus before a trip to Iceland, calibrated here and did not recalibrate there and reported zero problems.
I mention this due to the fact that a lot of pilots carried over their habit of recalibrating nearly every flight from the 480 to later models and we found this is not necessary.
The Gimbal dampeners on the the Plus are too weak in my estimation for the overall flight envelope
possible by the Plus. In Sport Mode, the forces applied by acceleration and braking are far in excess of their capability. That said, I am still running with my original dampeners and they are not leaking. This is due to the fact that when I am filming or working I am always trying to move the camera in a cinematic way (smooth acceleration and braking and so forth) so my dampeners are not getting beat up too bad. I do have extras on hand should I need them.
There are and have been threads on mods and upgrades of these dampeners including at least one or two by
@DCH who put together a pretty good upgrade solution. I'll see if I can get him to respond.
