DJI FPV drone keeps drifting left in normal mode, already calibrated IMU twice

  • Members

this has been bugging me for a while and im at the point where im just posting because i've run out of ideas. The drone drifts left pretty consistently in normal mode, not a huge amount but enough that i have to constantly correct and it shows up in footage. Done the IMU calibration on flat surfaces, done compass cal outdoors away from metal, checked the props and they all look fine, no visible damage.

Its on the DJI FPV not the Avata. Firmware is current. Happens with both the standard controller and when i switch to the motion controller. Someone on another thread mentioned it could be a gimbal calibration thing but i didnt really follow the logic there. Anyone seen this before or know what im missing.

Check if one of your motors is running slightly hotter than the others after a short flight. I had almost exactly this and it turned out one motor was dragging just enough to cause a consistent pull. Not enough to obviously fail, just enough to be annoying. Also double check that your props are the right ones paired to the right motors ? R and L marked ones ? sounds basic but its worth confirming if anything was swapped during maintenance.

Had something similar and it turned out to be a slightly bent motor shaft, like barely visible but enough. If you spin each motor by hand with props off there should be zero wobble. Mine had just a tiny bit on the front left and that was the culprit. DJI support actually walked me through it when i called, they were pretty helpful about it weirdly enough.
