Hi,

Just to let you know that DJI Go4 (4.3.0 - Android, as well as CrystalSky) as of today 18 September 2018, has a messed up IMU Calibration procedure. By that I mean, the Steps and Pictures therein, do not reflect the proper position you should be placing your Mavic 2. Coz, I initially followed the app screen / steps .. only to be stuck at Step 3 , every time.

Until DJI comes out with an update, what you need to do is head on over to DJI's website and watch their IMU calibration video tutorial. The 5 steps prescribed in the video, (and not the ones you see in Go4 app), are what you should be following. I did those and only then did calibration complete successfully.

Spoke to DJI Support Chat and they have acknowledged this issue and advised that a fix is forthcoming. FYI.

Now ya tell me :D spent a good hr and a half last night trying to calibrate the darn thing. I was setting it at a 45* angle (as showed in the app photo) finally just gave up :mad: had a beer and said frack it! Went for a spin and flew like a champ! But - I will re-calabrate it, or should I...humm.

Thank you! I thought it was only me. Now I got it confirmed.
