I would first let the H sit idle, powered on for 15 minutes, letting the GPS fully update the almanac. Then I would power cycle the H before attempting the compass calibration. Make sure to first remove the camera and gimbal, then make sure you are a minimum 250' away from anything metal or anything that will cause compass interference, such as electrical lines, metal in the ground, fencing, metal buildings, rail roads, etc. including your cell phone or other electronics, then perform the compass calibration more than once if needed. Once done, power cycle the H one last time and test.

Back on subject ..

I add my recommendation to make sure you are away from metal and no phone. A couple times I thought I did a good compass calibration but had my phone in back pocket and was pretty close to a metal roof covered picknick table . Once I got out in a open filed and left my cell phone behind I got a good compass calibration .

Another thing is that a compass calibration should be performed without too much delay from the start. Sometimes people get timed out from the calibration and the calibration then fails.
