mini 3 pro keeps drifting sideways when hovering, is this normal??

  • Members

ok so ive had my mini 3 pro for about 3 months now and i keep noticing that when i let go of the sticks it kind of slowly drifts to the left. not a huge amount but enough that i notice it and it kind of ruins my shots when im trying to hold a steady position. i calibrated the IMU once when i first got it but havent done anything since. wind is usually pretty calm when i fly, maybe a tiny breeze but nothing crazy. is this a known thing or is something wrong with mine specifically. i dont wanna send it in for repair if its just something i need to adjust in the settings

yeah this happened to me too early on, try calibrating the IMU again but do it on a completely flat surface, like a table or counter, not the ground. also make sure the drone is sitting still and not on anything that vibrates. i did mine on the hood of my car the first time and it was useless lol. after i redid it properly on my kitchen table the drift basically disappeared. also check if youre flying near anything with a strong magnetic field, that can mess with the compass and cause weird hovering behavior too.
