Hello everybody!

New Mavic 2 Pro owner here, so please be patient.

A few days ago, I took off, but as soon as the take off was complete, the drone went to full throttle, and yawing although the controller sticks were centered. I could just control the drone by pulling hard down on the thottle, and hard right on the yaw, but the drone wouldnt land, even when i tried to cut the motors. I basically had to crash into some long grass to stop. Tried restarting on the spot, but the same thing happened. The gimbal was also pointing up at a strange angle after restarting.  I went home and recalibrated everything, and did a test flight, and everything was working well, but later that day it started playing up again. I again had to pull a pretty rough landing! I tried to do an auto take off, but got a error saying the throttle wasnt centred. I have recalibrated everything, and have reinstalled the firmware.
This has really shaken my confidence, as like alot of pilots, i like to fly at the beach and over water. It was lucky that the times it has played up, i was over softish grass.

Help!

Do you calibrate the remote controler?

Yes, but even that process acts a little strange

I attempted to calibrate the controller again, but I'm not sure it worked properly. The prompt i feel hasn't translated too well to English. "Move sticks up to the max limit in all directions repetedly" (spelling repeatedly incorrect) I move the sticks in all directions, but when i move the scroll wheels, it changes the stick calibration, and it is impossible to get everything to 100% I hope somebody from DJI can help me soon.

I'd make a video and send it to DJI support if i was you.  I would'nt fly either at the moment with these kind of issues for your safety or others.

So this is how I found the controller with the sticks centered calibrated today, after successfully calibrating it yesterday...no wonder I was out of control!
