Hi all,
I’m new in this forum and found it because of the first issue with my two weeks old Mavic Pro. I already did several flights without any problems.
Yesterday I first was flying a bit from one position. Then before changing to the next battery, I did a compass calibration because I was receiving errors in the area I was taking off (moving did improve, but one compass was nearly constant at above 900). I did the calibration in an open area with no concrete or metal close by, then moved back to the previous take-off location, changed the battery and took off. Right after I was in the air the drone was starting to hover to the right (probably with the wind) and was hard to steer back. In my panic, I was not really checking for warning signs but more focusing on getting it safely back to ground (the place was really shitty for such a problem).
I was reading a bit about this behavior and believe that either the place for the calibration was bad or I did something wrong during calibration, but I wanted someone else more experienced probably to review it to be sure. I uploaded the flight log to Phantom-Help: LINK
If you need the Dat file as well I can provide a dropbox link. The confusing thing for me is, that it was all the time in P-GPS mode and still hovered away. Most of the other issues I was reading about were where the drone was switching to ATTI mode.
Most importantly what should be the next steps before the next flight. Generally a new compass calibration in a place really free from magnetic distractions. Should I recalibrate the IMU as well? I’m kinda scared because I’m living close to the beach and probably flying pretty much above water.
Thank you upfront for every help and tip.
Matt
