You need to calibrate any form of compass !  The Solmeta device requires 
that you put it in calibrate mode, and then twist the unit along all 3-axis 
twice so that it can record the maximum external field strengths, by 
recording the changes rather than measuring the static fields created by 
the camera/head/device.  The accuracy and precision even after calibration 
is not that high 5° is good.  Unless you go for some very expensive sensors.
