Calibrate IMU or not ?

[RoboticTundra]

Amazon is sending me a new MPP to replace mine that arrived -10° defective. SO, what do I and do I not calibrate. Compass? Definitely. RC? Yep. Gimbal? IMU?

I think gimbal is a yes. More upside than risk.

IMU seems all over the map of opinions but seemingly I think no unless told to do so. Will Litchi tell me to do it or only GO4? So, I should do some flights with GO4 first to make sure all is working and it's not asking for IMU calibration?

Any other recommendations?

Thanks,

Costs nothing to do it. Not something i would do regularly but on something that has come though the post i would spend the time

In most cases, you shouldn't have to calibrate anything on a new DJI drone. I always calibrate the compass before my first flight. While the calibrations are likely not necessary, you're not going to do any harm if you do the calibrations properly.
