Pitch forward makes my Mavic 4 Pro throttle up

Has anyone else had this issue with their Mavic 4 Pro? I've noticed that most of the times when I'm moving forward the drone also ascends. It happens when it's 20ft from the ground but also when it's 100ft up in the air with no obstacles around. I'm up to date with the latest firmware update. Also, it hovers in place just fine so stick drift is not the issue. I've never had this happen on any of my other drones. Just wondering if this is a known issue or an isolated one.

It's not normal.
If you post recorded flight data from a flight where you've observed this, it might help solve the mystery.

To post your flight data there are a couple of options ...

1. Go to DJI Flight Log Viewer | Phantom Help
Follow the instructions there to upload your flight record from your phone or tablet.
That will give you a detailed report on the flight data.
Come back and post a link to the report it provides and someone might be able to analyse it and give you an understanding of the cause of the incident.
or
2. Just post the .txt file here
or
3. If you use Airdata, you can view the flight data on Airdata and post a link for the Airdata report

The txt files are to be found in your controller, here:
Android\data\dji.go.v5\files\FlightRecord

Thanks for the info. I'll try it out and report back.
