Noticed this morning that when I was in a hover today about 300' up that I was seeing a very slow but noticeable turn to the right. I have tried re-calibration of the rc and IMU as well.

Any settings I've missed? Very little wind.

How are your props? Are they in good condition?
 
I had an issue with one of the firmware updates where my gimble would slowly drift to one side or the other. I realized it was the gimble and not the drone when I noticed this behavior on the ground. Have you calibrated the gimble?
 
Yes, tried the gimbal auto-cal three times now, along with everything else that can possibly be cal'd lol.

What was the end result with yours?
 
I updated up the next firmware and it's fine now. I think the trouble was around 1.5 or 1.6
 
Just got it yesterday so I'm thinking about just exchanging. It's about 30 minutes each way but better than sending it in.

Probably a good idea. For the record I'm 100 flights in and have never done and IMU or compass calibration. They can be tricky if you don't do them right. I've never needed to do one.
