I purchased a mavic 2 pro in September 2020, and after a month of use I am getting a "IMU error. Please calibrate IMU" when i connect my smart controller to the aircraft. Once I calibrate the IMU, it says "calibration successful". Then seconds later it shows the same "IMU error". I have tried this several times, with the same result. I have tried everything, besides a factory reset. I am beyond frustrated with this problem. Please help if possible.
Thanks,
-Dominic

Do you get the same issue with the standard remote?

Ah, I see. The IMU would have nothing to do with the RC anyway but you mentioned the SC a few times so I thought it may have had a link.

Wait for the drone to completely cool down, place it on a perfectly flat surface away from any vibrations and carefully perform the calibration again. It if still fails you may need to return the drone for replacement.

I did that, it cooled for 3 days and i tried it again, i just dont want a refurbished drone, when it comes to this price

That is totally understandable. I would liaise with someone at DJI and insist on making what they call a DOA claim under warranty given how new it is. They will replace the drone with a brand new one if upheld.

Should I do factory reset? Will this fix the issue

Hello there. Thank you for reaching us regarding the concern, I am sorry to read and to know the issue that you've encountered with your DJI Mavic 2 pro.

Thank you for the information. What I can suggest is to kindly re-calibrate the IMU on a flat surface and without any metallic objects near the drone. We can also isolate and check if the concern will persist upon refreshing the firmware of the drone using the DJI Assistant 2 on a computer. If in case the issue still persists, for us to be able to assist you further with regards to this matter. Kindly contact our DJI Support Team at https://www.dji.com/support for us to assist you. Again, I am sorry for the trouble this has caused, and thank you.

I sent my drone into DJI and they fixed the issue, it was under warranty still, so it was no cost to me. Great service and turnaround time.
