Straight Flight

JustinMitch · Dec 29, 2016

Does your mavic fly perfectly straight? I've been noticing mine does not and its irritating. Especially when filming something looking below the drift is very noticeable and can ruin a shot. If this isn't normal does anyone have any suggestion to fix it? I've done a compass calibration.

Have you tried calibrating your controller?

Calibrate compass and IMU. Make sure you are away from interference for the compass cal. No metal nearby, power wires, etc.

I'm assuming you are allowing for any possible wind effects?

I'll try calibrating the controller and IMU. Will probably do the compass again since I drove back home yesterday, 700 miles from where I was. It could be because of the wind. But it seems to happen every flight.

Also it seems to be more of slight rotation while trying to fly forward not drifting.

I have the same problem. It is so hard to go straight with this drone. It drives me crazy.

Is there a possibility to choose point A and then point B to make going straight easy?

Inhave had the same happen when I try to follow a path or feature in the landscape. Will pay more attention to it next time and see if I can solve it.
