Mavic Air issues

[Elmsley]

Hi Folks,
Can anyone help??..I have recently had an issue with my mavic air, when hovering about a metre from the ground both inside and outside the drone wanders to the side and will not respond to the controls, fortunately I had the prop guards on and was able to grab it and turn it over to stop the motors while it was flying against a wall. Has anyone had a similar experience??...

Sounds like a calibration issue... Has it been an issue before? Have you had any problems in flights before? Start with compass calibration, if you already didn't try it. Stay away from any metal while calibrating. Btw, log files would be extremely helpful, if you could upload them.

I agree, it sounds like a calibration issue.

During your calibration, make sure there are no stick movements when you are calibrating the gimbal. My air RC had that issue which which caused horizontal drone movements when I moved the camera.
