Second Mavic, Need Advice, Not Stable

[HelloNasty1]

This is my second Mavic, replaces one I totaled. Out of the box this one is horrible and looking for some help. Having already had one, this is frustrating. My first one was perfect.
- video is constantly "wavy"
- when stopped the camera seems to "droop". It literally will slowly lower, but only a little and then stop.
- it does not hover perfectly like my first Mavic. Moves probably within a constant one foot radius of its stopped position. This should hopefully be a simple calibration.

Can't figure out how to upload video. Is there any other way besides YouTube?

Really need help with the first two, does she need to go back?

If it's brand new, I would send it back for a replacement.

Agreed, sounds like a Friday afternoon job! I would consider an IMU calibration, Gimbal Calibration and Compass calibration too though, cant hurt and may solve, just do the IMU in a cool environment on a level surface, its very simple, takes less than 5 mins.

Did the IMU, seems much better on issue 3. Issue 1 & 2 no good. They will likely say too cold (26F today). But I flew my first Mavic in 10F and lower w/o issue.

Are you sure the gimbal has not slid past the stops?

As promised. I have drone tilted a bit to get better natural light.
