When I push my right stick all the way to the left the drone moves left at a good clip. When I push it all the way to the right it moves at half the

[hedbonker]

Same for Cine or normal modes (I do not use sport).
I have done a factory reset of the stick calibration in the app and I have done a calibration of the RC itself for the sticks and dial. Makes no difference. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here? I would like for the rate of movement to be the same going left or right. Here is a video that illustrates what I have done in an attempt to resolve this and how the drone behaves.

Any help greatly appreciated!

strike the last comment... I don't have 3rd party cookies enabled, so I don't see the videos.

Just watched it.... that is a bit odd.

What controller?
In settings find your gain and expo, I don't remember if there is a Factory reset for that. if so reset them.
I didnt see the video.

Yeah I did a reset to the gain and expo settings back to factory defaults. That had no impact.

Hmmm Props all good? sensors look right?
Take it somewhere with room, put the Drone in sport mode and if the drone starts acting right you may have a sensor thing.

It was actually unlisted - I made it public - not like it's anything to hide heh.

Props are perfect - Will check the sensor values in the AM when I am back home.

I tested in sport mode and everything works properly in that mode. N and C both exhibit this issue but not S. As far as sensors go, on the old DJI Go app you could look at the actual sensor values. In Fly it seems it will just indicate if it needs IMU or compass recal but no other info than that as far as I can tell and Fly indicates both compass and IMU are "normal". DJI suggested I refresh the firmware with DJI Assistant which I did but that did not fix it.

May be irrelevant, and bit out of left field as a guess, but when did you last clean the sensors ?
Could there be small obstruction or something lightly coating 1 of the sensors on the right side that occludes it slightly, and could feasibly make it fly in that direction in OA modes more slowly ? Or is there a scratch on one of them that could have a similar effect ?

Then the problem is sensor related for sure.

If you want to properly confirm that it's an obstacle avoidance sensor issue, it's a simple matter to disable OA in the app settings and try flying in Normal Mode to see how it goes.

It never changes anything but DJI suggest that whenever they have no idea at all.

Regarding a sensor - Wouldn't the app beep and cry with red warning lines if the sensor was detecting or thinking it's detecting an obstacle?

If you had the 'radar' display switched on: yes. There have been occasions when I've had momentary 'contacts' registered whilst in flight without the maddening bleeping.

I've also had a drone halt itself aggressively when the only obstacle has been bright sunlight (thank you Autel for introducing me to this arse-puckering phenomenon)

 

[hedbonker]

I always leave the radar display on - I will clean sensors and re-test today.

So, indeed the issue was a dirty sensor. Added clean sensors every 5th flight or so to my checklist now. What is odd to me is that the app/controller normally shows a red barrier graphic on the display and it beeps when it gets close to something but when I was flying at altitude, I got none of those alerts. Very odd.

Thank you everyone for all of your help and suggestions here.

On my list that's before every flight session, merely because it's so easy to carry a lens cloth in the bag, only takes a few seconds, and is fairly pivotal to correct operation of the craft if you fly in those modes a lot. And while the cloth is out I also take the chance to run it over the Camera lens and other sensors on the bottom before power up.
