Hi!

Did anyone had any luck calibrating the IMU after the latest update 05.22? I tried few times and always ended up with error. I tried then to refresh the firmware via the Assisstant and then try again, yet no luck. So now I can't seem to find a way to properly calibrate the IMU, which is something I always did after an update. Any insight will be most appreciated!

Why are you wanting to recalibrate the IMU?
There's no need to recalibrate anything after a firmware update.

That's just something I used to do. At any point that doesn't change the fact that there is an issue at hand here where I can't to calibrate it when I should be able to do so.

And that doesn't change the fact that recalibrating things after a firmware update is completely unnecessary.

Whether he wants to do it or not it should not fail I was told to recalibrate everything due to my M3 when flying straight would wobble a bit and Im stuck on this as well.  I tried it 6 times so far and calibration fails.

Hello there AlexSnapsColours. I am sorry for the trouble this has caused and thank you for reaching out. May we please know if you are receiving any error message when calibrating the IMU of your DJI Mavic 3? Thank you.

Hi! It just says that calibration failed and it prompts me to do it again. From what I gathered my case is not the only one and I've already reached few people with the same problem.

I have the same error

... it is always "amazing" how Mr. "Labroides" interferes in inquiries and tries to instruct the users with his highly personal opinions!
Unbelievable!
A provided function must be executable / work, regardless of whether there is actually a need to calibrate something...

It's amazing what an obnoxious little troll you are, never missing an opportunity to demonstrate it.

I calibrated the IMU after this update and no issues at all. Whether its needed or not I do not know but it makes me feel better so I do an IMU calibration after each update. I also do a Compass and Remote calibration. My craft, my choice.

same here, calibration failed. tried in multiple rooms etc. restarted drone and rc pro etc. no luck

This is really frustrating.....!!!

I have the same problem…. So frustrating! Come on DJI!!! Fix this!

I'm getting exactly the same issue as well.
I was always advised that after a major update, you should should re-calibrate the compass and IMU - rightly or wrongly.
I've always done this and it always re-calibrates without any problems.
Today I updated the firmware to 01.00.0700 and the 'Go Fly' app
No matter what I do, when I carry out the IMU calibration - it FAILS.

It looks like there is a lot of people getting exactly the same fault after updating everything.
This needs to be sorted ASAP

Same problem here, Dji, isn't this a bug that you will hopefully fix soon?

Now my drone won't calibrate or fly ...... never again  Dji I I purchase your products

My M3 is the same. Tried numerous times to calibrate the IMU, refreshed both firmware update, removed SD Card, cleared cache, calibrated Compass, Gimbal before IMU. Still a failure. This is only since the latest firmware update.

Sorry I sold my Autel evo 2 pro .. never had any Bull sh*t like this going on. Fix it now Dji

Yeah I don’t like Laberdoodle as well.

Post number two is correct in his thoughts for calibrations. This post is exactly the reason to research any update prior to hitting that particular button.
Live and learn guys!
Hopefully this with get resolved and only time will tell.
Auto update??? Not a chance.

I never calibrate anything unless the drone asks for it... I also don’t understand this strange ritual - calibration after a new firmware ... but nevertheless, I sympathize with the victims ..

The IMU calibration does indeed fail.  It seems to be a newly introduced feature.

Same issue here.......Fkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk DJI FIX THIS NOW

Have any of you with this problem tried Assistant 2 to refresh your firmware?

Hi there AlexSnapsColours. Thank you for the reply and for these additional information. I will forward this issue to the designated DJI department for further evolution. Again, I am sorry for the trouble and thank you.

Its simple not good enough Stephen terrible  customer support . Please advise how to roll back the firmware i have a job tomorrow and no drone its costing me business.

I did, it didn’t help.

Just called again with the telephone helpdesk of DJI. I have indicated that there are more people with this problem. Asked whether I should return the drone for repair or wait for a new firmware that could fix this problem. Advice is to send the drone back anyway... Hopefully I won't lose it for too long....

Why would anyone mess around with the hardware of the drone because they were updating the SW. you couldn’t make this up. I take it they all updated after each FW and it was successful. Thats about 7 IMU calibrations, 6 more than I have done with every drone I owned in 8 years…

Its a bit like getting your car serviced every time you change the CD ;+)

The same problem with me. I'm disappointed. After so many months, more and more problems ... in addition to the old ones.

None of which is at all necessary and neither makes anything work better.
If it was important, you'd think DJI might mention in their firmware notes or manuals.
But they don't.
It's just a myth perpetuated in forums by people who don't know what those calibrations actually do or when they might be appropriate.


My craft, my choice.
Your superstitious ritual.

If the drone is flying properly, there is no problem.
It's unlikely that replacement will make any difference.
Unfortunately DJI's phone help people are useless and not to be relied on for accurate information.

Dji are useless.  Also called the help line I have to send it back for repair its obviously a software issue the drone was perfect using the last firmware . Just give us the option to roll back the firmware Dji ?????

So you had the wobble problem before this update. Are you saying you calibrated before update or you waited until after update. Having the wobble and not flying straight could constitute doing an IMU then and if you did then are we saying that it was not calibrating before the update ?

It is amazing how you always find an opportunity to argue about unnecessary things.

I agree DJI's help call is useless. 5 years ago, I called them about my P4 have issue many time and they can't give me a solution to solve the issue.

You did say in another thread you would never sell your Autel 2 and you were keeping it. You also said that your M3 needed new FW as it was the worst drone you ever owned. Do you know NGC…
