Air 3S drifting from take-off

[Meta4]

there is a possibility it could be your batteries if you're having a cell deviation the flight controller will prioritize stability over control this is the drones attempt to stop it dropping out of the sky on you

There are several very unlikely explanations (guesses) put forward in this thread, but this is the most unlikely.
There is no way that cell deviations would cause what the OP described.

Actually it happened to me and this was what it turned out to be two out of the three batteries I had had deviations it caused the drone to prioritize stability over control and it damaged the power management on the drone dJI is currently in the process of replacing the whole thing because they're acknowledged it was their fault I'm just saying it's possible and considering it took me pointing out the exact problem for them to look at it and go yep you're right and then decide to replace the thing I don't actually care it's not a thing I want to argue about you can believe me or not it's also very easy to prove or disproof you just open up the log go to the time where the incident happened and look for a deviation if it's there that's the problem it would be too much of a coincidence for them to both happen at once

you can believe me or not

I choose not to.

On the contrary.
Just because there are cell deviations, and some other issue does not mean the cell deviations caused the other issue.
I've inspected the flight data from hundreds of flights and incidents and having deviations in cell voltages is not uncommon, but there are always other real causes of the issues that are the problem.

If the cell voltage differences were big enough to cause a problem, the drone would be descending, not drifting.
