Aiming towards a point on my DJI RC, but my Mini 3 Pro is flying in another direction.

[thesotman]

Hi,
I'm having an issue with my Mini 3 Pro,
When I'm flying towards a point with the DJI RC, but the drone is flying in another direction.
The drone is flying a little towards the left.
There was hardly any wind. I also did a compass and IMU calibration, but it hasn't helped.
Please help, Thanks.

I also enabled sideways flight in the DJI RC.

upload the log of an affected flight to

DJI Flight Log Viewer | Phantom Help

download the csv and compare the yaw angles for the drone and the gimbal.
I'd guess you are targeting/aiming and judging things by the screen, any difference between drone heading/yaw and gimbal heading/yaw will, on the screen, make it appear as if the drone has sideways drift.

The usual cause for what you are describing is the gimbal being slightly off centre and needing adjusting.
The drone flies straight, but it looks like it's moving off toward one side.

 

[Droning on and on...]

In addition to what others have said, (in particular first take a look at the gimbal as @Meta4 said), these drones hold a heading well, but do not hold a course automatically. A strong crosswind can push you off course if you're flying toward something you're keeping centered in the camera view.

Don't forget to calibrate the remote too. You'll be able to see if the sticks are working properly.

How do I re-center the gimbal?

Before you go adjusting things that problely don't need adjusting first check some recorded flight data to see if there's actually a problem with the drone not flying straight.
You'll probably find that it is flying straight, which moves you to solving what makes you think it isn't flying straight.
That's most likely the thing that I suggested earlier.

Is there a video tutorial on how to do this? It's a bit confusing for me to follow. Thanks.

The app settings jhave lots of useful things.

Go to DJI Flight Log Viewer | Phantom Help
Follow the instructions there to upload your flight record from your phone or tablet.
That will give you a detailed report of the flight.
Come back and post a link to the report it gives you.
Or .. just post the txt file here.

I know of no video, sorry but have a look at post #7 in Can anyone help me retrieve my flight logs?
