Drifting Drone

[The_IanN]

Hi Everyone,

Mavic Pro 2 here. When I fly straight/forward, my drone rotates (yaw) slightly left. I’m sure you can imagine this is very frustrating. The interesting thing is this only happens when I use 1 of my 3 batteries. I’ve tries calibrating the compass and sticks - not work. Any fixes or ideas?

Calibration time! I have no idea why it only does it with the one Battery. Your Battery would not cause this problem.
have you had a hard landing or crash?
What you are describing is how a non-calibrated Drone flies.

Are you sure the 1 problematic battery is in good shape? If the bottom of the batter is bulging even a little, and you are able to properly snap it into place, its balance could be off enough to cause the yaw.

its balance could be off enough to cause the yaw.

The Drones PID would correct that. Drones really don't fly out of balance, The PID corrects it. example if you put a small weight on one side of the drone the PID would notice and the drone would still fly straight. The PID will run the motors on the weighted side faster to balance the Drone on its own.

Good you calibrated compass and sticks but you missed the IMU calibration, do one any time your flight is abnormal. Follow instructions in the app.
