Has anyone encountered unstable or wobbly movements during auto takoff on the Mavic Air?

Can you post a video please? Did you have a stable GPS link at take off time (11 satellites min.)? If you wish so, please upload the relating flightrecord to this site and share the link with us: http://www.phantomhelp.com/LogViewer/Upload/

Earlier firmware may cause this problem. What is your firmware version?

I have the current firmware and have updated and calibrated everything by the book.  11 or 12 satellites available. Tried the capture program you suggested and it didn't go anywhere that I could capture - will try agin.  FYI - DJI technical support suggested erasing the dpi go 4 program and reinstalling.  Did that and it did seem to improve the stability of the take off.  Manually taking of was smooth as glass.

How do you share the link once downloaded from your process link?

When you see the Phantomhelp  results page just copy the URL from the address bar and paste into a post here.

You just upload your flightrecord to that site ond once it is processed there you share the website link of where it is displayed. But this is no longer required in your case now since you had sufficient satellites. Should there be any further issues just record a video with your Mavic Air and post it here or do a screenrecording on your mobile device, there are good and free Apps available for that.
But glad to hear that for the time being all is working well! :-)

I just tried it again and I "think" this is the website link.   This is more complicated than 5th grade math.   I have flown real helicopters for 25 years and these little guys are sometimes more difficult.

My thanks to everyone.

You probably have the propeller guard turned on in your settings.  Seen this before.  Turn it off.

Propeller guard or extra payload detected. Flight performance will be affected. Fly with caution.

Turn off enclosed propeller guard.

How or where do you turn that off.  The system automatically detected it last time.

Actually looking I am not sure it is a setting in the Mavic Air I know it is one in the Mavic Pro you have to turn on/off for propeller guards.  Cannot find for Mavic Air as I do not have MA.

I would check all of your propellers and ensure they are attached correctly.  Do you have a spare set of propellers you can try and swap out?
