Hyperlapse Drift

[Ziggy01]

Seems to me that I can't get the A2S to simply point straight between two waypoints in Hyperlapse. I set the two point, go back to the first but along the way the drone will slowly point to the left or right and eventually do a radical correction near the end of the sequence. Totally calm conditions. No wind. No obvious interference.

Any ideas what's happening here?

Can you post a video example?

I have had similar issues from time to time with my M2 Pro. It seems to creep up on it over time. What has solved this for me is a recalibration of the sticks and of the IMU. It has solved it every time… so far.

I did an update not too long ago that said among other fixes was drift
I had none before the update but I sure did after the update!
Just an idea

Thus the reason some people don’t update unless absolutely necessary.

I confess that although my firmwares are up to date, I haven't calibrated in some time.

Ill try that.

Perhaps I have taken the importance of recalibration too lightly.

Recalibrated and flew a couple of test flights and it all seems good now. Just out of interest, how often do you guys run a calibration on sticks and gimble?
