This is the Mavic, not a cheap drone. The Mavic have so many sensors already optimized that I think it is not a necessity to calibrated it. Like I said before, the aircraft was behaving extremely well. I had before a phantom 3 standard and trust me... This is not the same type of aircraft. The Mavic its really a piece of marvel engineering.
First time out of the box I would absolutely calibrate everything. Has traveled a long distance make a difference for you flying do two variances in the magnetic fields and stuff like that. But if you choose not to you may want to keep an eye on that the headings look correct on the DJI Go app as to your actual facing headings.
That's what I am saying... Not warnings while I took it off hovering for a minute... Perfectly steady and calm. I was actually surprised about it. Them I took it off far away and was still calm and stable. Unlike previous DJI aircrafts, the Mavic is just an amazing quality aircraft. I have not tested the phantom 4 series but I assumed that they are also marvel aircrafts too.
Why ruin a good calibration? My Mavic was delivered in March 2017. The compass and IMU have never been calibrated by me and the drone has flown faultlessly. The compass is very easily mis calibrated. You only need to be wearing a steel belt buckle or have change in your pocket and the compasses (there are 2) could be influenced and a bad calibration set on the drone.
