Mavic Air drifting erratically

[Peter1981]

Hi all,

Brand new here and pretty much a noob drone owner as well, so be gentle!

Bought my drone in the States a few months back and had no issues flying it in the U.K. until a short while ago when I was flying it at a friend’s place and (without any control from me) it lurched sideways and crashed in to his house.

Since then I took it up in my garden to check it was ok and it’s now exhibiting the bahaviour in the video below.

Before I give it in for repair, is there anything obvious I should check or what the issue might be.

For info (having contacted DJI) I’ve done a factory reset and updated to latest firmware for the drone and controller and checked that there’s no physical damage with the gimbal. The gimbal also auto calibrates no problem.
