New to Mavic - Position stability issue

[aasaeedi]

hello everyone,

New Mavic Mini user here. Last night I did my first flight test and noticed that my drone cannot hold its position well when flying outdoors. It kept drifting to one direction. At the time, my Mini was connected to at least 13 satellites. Is this a signal or calibration issue? or do I have a faulty unit?

Thanks,

Did you try flying during the day? The downward sensors will not work properly when there isn't sufficient lighting (like at night).

Calibrate Compass and IMU.

Thanks! yes, it was very dark outside. Hopefully that was the root cause. will try again today.

I completed the calibration process during the first setup. Will do another round to be safe.
