Air 3S drifting from take-off

I think I know what is causing the problem.

If it happens again, you have to quickly flick your controller to Sport mode, and then you can force the drone to come back.

It happens because the internal wiring for obstacle avoidance cameras have become lose, so the GPS data becomes unreliable and that's why the drone malfunctions and drifts off, and refuses to respond to controls.

How could an intermittent connection to the OA cameras affect the GPS position information output? How could it block control commands?

And how could changing the mode switch tighten a loose wiring connection to the OA cameras?

Without the OP's flight log, everything is guesswork. And you're offering a pretty wild guess.
