To update everyone, this is still ongoing. DJI Customer Service is the worst experience ever. Multiple cases have been created, a new one nearly every time I respond to an email. Takes days for them to get back. I'm pretty pissed and don't want to get too into it. I will be avoiding this...

Ya, they have the dat and txt. I mentioned the imus in my response. I will be more concise in my next response if it comes to that. Thx @sar104

Well, I got a response from DJI, and as promised, I said I'd share. (I wrote them a lengthy response...) What do you suppose the 'repair' is they are offering that I pay for?

That would be a plus, because its kinda nerve-racking every time I first turn it on now. Hopefully that won't last. ;)

I submitted a ticket with DJI for now. I suppose we'll see what happens. As of now, they plan to look over the Flight Records in question. I asked for this prior to returning the drone. Unfortunately, it takes them up to 3-5 days to process everything. I will let ya know how it goes and what...

...???... Oh THAT Max 8. That's messed up, lol.

@sar104 , thank you. I can't say that I understand what all that means, but it tells me that I'm not just crazy. I will look into the IMU cal procedure when I get the time. Can you think of any reason why, with an out of cal IMU, I wouldn't see this issue across every flight? Seems odd that a...

Ya, its one of those 'Guess ya had to be there.' kinda things... Here ya go, as requested (hoping this is the right DAT file):

Indeed I was holding the left stick down, as the aircraft was ascending in front of my eyes, as I initially wrote. I took off from the ground, and descended further and further down? Makes no sense. Light could have definitely been a factor it seems. At 23 sec, you can see me apply hard left...

Between 21 and 24, you see my release of the joys, and it traveled into/towards the river. There were obstacles, but not throughout the flight, the entire flight was a struggle to regain control and land. Typically from that far, it's a smooth return and land, even with obstacles. This flight...

Why would the IMU Altitude increase to -40 ft (flt 1)?

To be clear, the drone was going forwards, away, and clear of anything within 50 ft, while I had the stick at full travel in reverse trying to get it to return... It returned, very slow, but wasn't at all following my inputs as it usually would.

I hear ya on many of your points and appreciate your input. First flight, I specifically recall being nowhere near obstacles (above middle of the river) when it was acting silly. I know that I was the initial obstacle on both flights. Funky though, as this is pretty much the case for every...

The logs seem to show reverse input with forward travel. If controller Cal was indeed the concern, then why would rebooting the controller and drone resolve it?

No metal objects, both times in very remote areas. I thought GPS was good, I always wait for the app to say 'Ready to Go (GPS)'...Its possible that I didn't here though, as I don't recall 100%, but it looks like it may have been an issue on the first flight maybe. Yet the DJI app shows 8 sats...
