Hey Guys, I am new to the forum and wanted to connect with the drone community to ask a question. I wanted to know from other people flying the Mavic Pro. How much does your VPS and altitude differ after ascending up high, then returning to ground level?

My Mavic is only 5 days old. I have noticed when i first take off the VPS and Altitude is the same height and accurate. However once i ascend to 30m fly around and come back down. My VPS is showing I'am 0.5m above ground (correct) but my Altitude is showing -1.5m.

I contacted DJI online support. They said the VPS and altitude readings should not differ much. They recommended i refresh the firmware and do an IMU calibration. It did not make much difference.

I was told by DJI support on 1 occasion it may be a hardware issue and i should return it for replacement. Then on a second occasion i was told its nothing to worry about. I cant seem to get an answer from DJI support and thought i may have more luck here.
