I finallyget her in the air. I took mavic to the farm and flew it for a while. It flew fantastic! No issues as of yet. Very very happy so far!
I did I calibrated everything before first flight, I'm hoping I did everything correctly. It flew good so I hope so.
Lol that's funny!We are opposites... I didnt calibrate anything before flying... not even the compass. And it still flies great. Who knows whats best...
I know you were worried. I'm glad it went well for you! I've had about 5 flights now and having a blast. It would be twice as fun if I wasn't freezing! I wish I would have gotten my Mavic 2 weeks ago when the weather was absolutely perfect!I finallyget her in the air. I took mavic to the farm and flew it for a while. It flew fantastic!

With reports of Toilet Bowl Effect (TBE) and various other control issues, I think it is a big mistake to not calibrate the sticks and the compass out of the box (and update the firmware to the latest). There are varying opinions about the IMU. Personally, I lean toward not calibrating the IMU unless it asks or its flying strangely, but if the IMU is properly calibrated on like a perfectly level board away from all interference it should be just fine.We are opposites...

I didn't calibrate anything either since the app didn't indicate it was needed. It appears from Laura's flight that it certainly didn't hurt her flight so who knows?We are opposites...

Except that it doesn't always work. My app was not requesting anything when my Mavic had huge gimbal horizon drift, which was solved by an IMU cal.The IMU is only supposed to be calibrated if the app requests it.
According to DJI it was finely tuned at the factory in the ideal settings

I see the word "farm" and I am not surprised one bit that it flew flawlessly. Can the non-calibrators let us know where they are flying? It's important for those of us who aren't anywhere near a farm or acres of fields. Unfortunately for DJI, I want to fly it where there are people and places...more interesting sites to film. I can only enjoy a sampling of videos of farmlands in Nebraska and the mores of Great Britain...
