If there is no wind affecting the drone you could reasonably assume the drone would hover pretty much in the same place, with small inputs on the sticks for minor correction. However, as has been pointed out to you, there will be contributory factors that will influence the drone. Ground effect will build a cushion of air under the drone much like trying to balance something on an upturned bowl. The higher off the ground the lesser the effect, say four feet should be much easier. Convection from hot and cold areas will play their part but I assume from your description that this seems to be more acute than that. Prop or weight imbalance will play their parts too, so check the props look clean and you haven't stuck anything on the drone like an extra camera for example. The only thing left to do would be to calibrate the controller. It's the most likely cause from the description you have given that could cause such an imbalance if all else is ok.
Without doubt, the best way of experiencing unaided flight is the use of a cheap small indoor drone. Once you can fly the thing forwards and backwards, left and right and lastly, and probably the most difficult, nose in, then handling the Mavic will be a piece of cake. |
