Mavic 2 cant fly straight ahead

Lordofwolf · Sep 2, 2020

Hi guy! I got both mavic 2 pro and zoom but either one have problem!
The pro usually drift to one side

The zoom better but still cant flight straight, and i have to adjust the gimbal everytime i turn! You can see in the video!

I did imu and gimbal calibrate for both, The wind not bad too!

is the drifting normal for mavic 2? If not what should i do now? Thank you for you time!

Have you checked the propellers?

Calibrate the IMU ?

Lordofwolf · Sep 2, 2020

Sorry i dont know how to upload hd video so the video so blurry, sorry

Lordofwolf · Sep 2, 2020

Yes i did IMU calibrate and gimbal too, should it fly straight like arrow?

I did and they not tear or bend

Yes, in most environments it should fly relatively straight, it could have been the wind pushing it as you were quite high and the higher you go the stronger the winds
Have you also tried re-calibrating the control sticks as well

Yes i did too! So the wind in the picture i show is high? And 50 metters is high too? Sorry because i dont have much exp flying these so i wonder a lot

Oh about the IMU, i dont have space so i just do it on table surface, with microwave 1m away from my drone, i am not sure if table level is good or not! But it the flatest thing in my room

There is only one calibration left, I assume you have done the compass calibration in an open area away from rebar concrete and metal structures ?
And maybe a firmware refresh via DJI Assistant 2 on the PC, just to reset everything.

Lordofwolf · Sep 2, 2020

You mean factory reset the drone? And should we update to newest software again? Oh and how do
You think about my IMU calibrate environment? Is it bad to close to microwave and should i be either flat and level? I just cant find perfect place like that

Make sure nobody's been watering down the bourbon.

IMU calibration is best on a flat level floor.
The IMU calibration is different to the compass calibration, two totally different things, the compass is what is impacted by magnetic interference.

Firmware refresh can be done in the DJI Assistant 2 app on the PC

You mention this is happening to both drones. Are you using the same remote controller in both?

No i used each controller for each drone

So you mean that i can calibrate near magnetic and if the surface flat but i am not sure about level, is that bad? And after factory reset, do i need to recalibrate IMU again

IMU calibration is not really affected by magnetic fields but it's always best to choose a neutral location.
The surface for the IMU calibration needs to be close to level e.g. floor of a house.
No, IMU and Compass calibration is seperate from a firmware refresh, you will see warning messages if you need to do either calibration again.

Is very strange that is happening with 2 drones.

Probably bent props on both AC's from improper storage

Possible. I can see this happening more to the MA2 because this props are bent from factory to limit the noise and over the time i can see this affecting the flight and producing more noise over the time.
