Sometimes my P3P will fly off course a bit...or so I thought! Come to find out I had the slightest pressure just off center on the right stick causing the A/C to fly slightly off course. I have to to constantly keep in mind to push the stick up the center groove (so to speak) with out any pressure to the right or left side of that groove.

At 1:04 i push only the throttle and the drone starts going a little bit to the left. I made a correction to keep it straight. Don't you see it?

The main reason I opened this thread is to understand if the birdgoes straight ahead when i push the throttle stick forward. You can see that when i used the rth function it came back exactly straight.

DJI-Paladin - please pass to the techs that the joystick carriers COULD be improved by having "off-centre" resistance for the up/down/left/right movements - doesn't have to be much, but just enough to keep the sticks on the cardinal axis'.  I've had this problem many times and have to consciously correct the drone and sticks movement - it's very irritating and unnerving when you're still a noobie pilot.

Mine has done this since it was new in July last year.  Camera does not point straight ahead.  Don't say IMU cal.  It's been through MANY of those with upgrades, etc.

Just for grins, have you hovered right overhead and looked to see if the camera faces straight ahead?  Mine does not, never did.  See above.

I've double checked the flight record. At 1:12, when you moved the rudder to right, the drone didn't rotate.  I'd suggest you to download the flight data (DAT file : FLY130.DAT) and send it to support.eu@dji.com for data analysis.Besides, the drone kept its position and attitude well in RTH period.If i were you, I would calibrate the rc and test it again.

No problems with the camera. The problem is that the bird moves a little bit to the left

Ok, your problem is different from mine.  The camera/gimbal is rotated a few deg left on mine.  I've slipped it a little bit on the shaft, but not enough yet to be straight.

Yes, the sticks on the RC really need to be a bit harder to make it go off center. I fly RC jets at 200mph and if I were using sticks like the ones on the P3A RC I would not have any jets left to fly. I know, the P3's don't go that fast but what I'm saying is that I'm use to flying with very little stick control and I have a hard time keeping my P3A going perfectly straight sometimes.

Today i made another flight, using my iphone 6s plus instead of iPad air2. The ac was perfect clear lines straight ahead. So in conclusion ipad compass may need a calibration. I am not sure for what i say but today everything was normal.
