    Mavic 3 Extremely Unstable When Sticks Applied

    I wish that I did - but the problem is no longer present. It is now quite stable, basically very similar to the MA2. There is some fine tuning that could be done otherwise she flies perfect.

    Mavic 3 Extremely Unstable When Sticks Applied

    Update: I took the drone out today in a clear area and launched - same problem. So, I landed the drone and turned of obstacle avoidance completely. Re-launched and flew great.

    Hello, newbie to the forum but 3 year Mavic Air 2 Pilot. Just bought a Mavic 3 used and experiencing a crazy flight problem. First though, the drone appears in excellent condition with very little use. 2 of the batteries have never been charged. 1 has only been charged twice. The drone appears...
