Mavic Pro 2 drifting.

Hi Everybody.

My MP2 has recently started slowly drifting/rotating, not sure which, to the right while hovering.

Is this just a calibration thing? If so, does anyone know what I need to calibrate? I've looked but not found anything other than gimbal and compass calibration.
Thanks

Ah, hadn't thought of that, thanks.

I'll check out how to calibrate them, I must have done it when I first set it up.

Try IMU calibration.
Make sure to calibrate your IMU on a level surface, and don't move the aircraft during calibration.

Hmm
Had a look at this but no mention of IMU or Controler calibration, at least I couldn't find it.

IMU?

"Inertial Measurement Unit". The link I provided above should get you there.

I agree with the majority. I'd recalibrate the IMU for sure, and most likely I would recalibrate everything else as well. That's just me being extra cautious, but that's how the flyaways and toilet bowling start.

The quickest and easiest is the sticks recalibration,I had this happen once,did the sticks and all has been good ever since,4 months so far.
Good luck

And if you try all of the suggestions above without success, it might need degaussing with CFixer or similar.
