Check your front propellers to make sure you have the correct ones on the correct motors.

Upload your content to YouTube or similar account and then copy / paste the URL link in your post.

It will change to a thumbnail after you post the reply.

Pictures may be directly uploaded, but not video.

BTW, welcome to the Forum!

For what it's worth, follow the instructions from HERE and post your flight log so that others can see the data for more information.

There's some members here that can get into the nitty gritty of the data and tell you what happened.

Good luck.

Can you tell from the still if they are on the correct motors. Or do you know how you tell if they are?

Here you have it... the props on the front left motor is the wrong ones (put on the same props as you have in the rear right, those with the single silver stripe)... have also drawn in the motor direction of rotation.

 

[hansenn]

to me it looks like you have the lower left prop upside down.

The silver stripes are only on the upper side on the blades... so can't see how that can be possible, unless it's not DJI original.

 

[hansenn]

Definitely the lower left is not the same as the others. Look at the direction of the stripes.

 

[old man mavic]

its quite simple looking down on the drone from behind , the left hand pair of front props are wrong ,as @slup stated should be two CCW and two CW on oposing diagnal motors

Yeah... besides that the stripe direction have nothing to do with this. The front left should have a single stripe & the rear right should also have a single stripe... both these are CW rotating props. The double striped ones are CCW rotating & should go on the front right & the rear left.

Yes I think the front propeller is the wrong one .Shouldnt the diagonal ones match ?

Exactly right. See post #7.

EDIT: And post #16.

There is a ridge marked on the right-front and left-rear arm. Those counter-clockwise rotating motors should have the blades with two silver stripes and matching ridge marks on the prop blades.

The left-front and right-rear arms are smooth without the ridge marks. Those clockwise rotating motors take the single-striped blades with smooth (no ridge) blades.

There is a section in the manual explaining all this. I suggest grounding your drone until you read it SEVERAL times!!

We got two people asking questions in this thread, is this for both?

Personally, I'm a pretty poor reader in many ways.

The only question here is about proper blade installation.
