As you can see all the numbers are slightly different and are changing +/- 0.001 sporadically.
Mavic Air is sitting still on a flat surface just after a successful calibration. Is this normal?

I've calibrated it because it's not as steady as it used to be while in the air (hovering or not) with almost zero wind. Propellers are in good shape.

Thanks for reading.
 
From what I have read, this is quite normal. Mine has shown more than +/-001 deviations from time to time but it is flying fine. So whatever the cause of the issue may be, this is likely not it.

I would say that is normal for the drone while operating.. it just shows the minor vibrations form the fan running, etc..

If you have stability issues.. you could also try a careful re-calibration of the vision system using DJI assistant on the desktop.

I was asked to do that by the go4 app. You think that could be the case? If I turn sensors off and stability issues are still there that would mean it's not about the sensors, right? I mean can they also affect stability when off? Because I don't have access to a PC at the moment.

That is completely normal. Good calibration.

I think the obstacle avoidance can be turned off but the downward facing optical-flow stability feature is still active.. So it should help.

Any mac or PC will work so hopefully you can find one at some time.
