Often, probably 6 out of 10 times when I'm trying to fly dead straight I will notice on my screen the mavic is flying straight but veering left just a bit. So, on the screen, it will look as if I'm holding the left stick yawing to the left just a hair. Other times straight is straight. Does anyone else have this issue currently ?
Yea, it's calibrated, remote, aircraft, IMU.

Well it seems compulsory to ask if you updated your firmware and changed your knickers recently?

Yep, same problem here. Calibrated the compass, updated firmware etc... Still cannot fly in straight line.

When you perform the IMU calibration, the drone has to be perfectly level.  So, your table, the floor in your house, outside on concrete, all of that won't work.  If you calibrate the IMU, something that rarely needs to be done anyway, and it's on an un level surface, it can cause the results you are having.

I remember this issue back with the phantom 2 vision plus. It was eventually solved with a firmware upgrade. It hasn't shown up with anything DJI for a long time. Maybe it's back.

Sync your records and what is your email and I will look at the flight.
And I gave you suggestions in the other thread you posted in about the same issue.
Try those, and if none work then preform an IMU calibration on a perfectly flat surface.

Make sure to unfold the arms before powering on as that will cause interference.
Make sure there's no metal around or in your pockets, and put the RC/phone on the ground several feet away from you then tap calibrate and walk over to the aircraft and perform the compass calibration.

It is a current issue, drifting as well. I've calibrated everything multiple times now on perfectly flat surfaces. But it still will float to the left on straight cruises. I've seen this from several people now.

have you tried different stick configurations? it's not a fix, but maybe this will work out once you do.

Had this problem also with my Phantom3 ADV, solved by an firmware update but that was long time ago

I have the same issue. No amount of calibrating will fix it. The display always shows the right stick as off center by a few percent.

I sometimes have the same issue. I need to adjust the straight flight then by moving the right stick in the direction to compensate the side movement.
I thought this happens because of some wind, but I also think that the GPS system should equate the wind.

Same problem with my Mavic. Latest fw, recalibrate everything. Flies to the left. Screen shot of flight shows this quite clearly. Anyone had any luck solving this issue?
