My fingers was not on the right stick at all only on the left
It went in circles by itself that became wider so I lowered
I never had this kind of problem before
 
Do a YouTube search for drone toilet bowl. It's a well documented occurance. But how it happens with a Mavic is puzzling. It generally happens with cheap toy drones.

So I looked it up
It's from the compass and imu fighting over each other so the drone does weird things
I fixed it by calibratingbthe compass and imu

Neither the compass nor the IMU should have needed re-calibration.
In normal situations, they never do.
I only see a little drifting in the video, but if it was drifting in circles, there was some magnetic interference affecting the drone.
I can force that by lowering my drone within a few feet of a steel roof.
It's not a problem with the drone that you need to fix.
It's a problem with where you flew and the fix is to keep the drone away from that spot.
