Not sure what is going on with my Mavic...I've noticed that when it is hovering in flight OR just sitting on the ground that the video shows the camera slowly sliding/yawing.  Anyone experience this?  It is a very slow pan..VERY; I'd say it is close to 1/4 of a 'normal cinematic pan'.  It definately requires correction when filming; this requires you to reposition the Mavic which is not ideal.  Gimbal recalibrations don't make any improvment...

Mine *might* be doing that too.  Im undecided if its yaw or the gimbal drifting.  Sometimes left, sometimes right.
As there seems to be a bug with the latest firmware meaning i cant extract a .dat file i cant look at the logs to see if it IS yaw or not to investigate.
Turning off the synchronous gimbal option in the menu might stop this if it is the gimbal.

For me it is the gimbal drifting since it does the same thing when on the ground...

Agreed...there was supposed to be some fix in .1000 for the gimbal drift I think, but mine drifts more now when on the ground than it did with .900.   Not sure why at all....

Hi all, could you guys who encounter the problem with gimbal drift in the latest firmware please provide the video of this case to us? I'll help to check and forward to our engineers to check more. Thank you so much in advance.

I will add also (didn't want to complicate things) that my Mavic IS ALSO NOT MOVING STRAIGHT. Exactly like the new thread on this same topic.  Never heard of either issues before and I suspect that they must be interrelated as both conditions happened exactly at the same time.

Wow..went to your website- great photos/vids!  I grew up in the Parry Sound area...any chance some of your media is from this neck of the woods (some of it looks familiar).  Great work.
