I use two Phantom 4 Pro v2.0.  I recently updated the firmware.  Since then they both have the same bad behavoir.  When hovering, they slowly drift to the left.  As a photographer, I had counted on my P4P's to remain relatively still after 5 or ten seconds of no input, so my photos would be as sharp as possible, especially in low light.  Now the drone will simply not remain stationary.  I did all the calibrations.  What's going on DJI??

Hi JeffreyS, I'm sorry to hear about the issue with your drones. Is there any error message prompt in your app? Please record a video to show us the problem, we'd like to help you check it. Thanks.

There is no error message.   You don't need a video to understand what I explained.  My P4P is experiencing the common slow yaw drift.  Im sure you know what this is.  It's the solution I need.  Thank you.

Hi JeffreyS, the Yaw axis of the Phantom 4’s gimbal is skewed to the left (or right) after power-on, please follow the method below to solve the issue:
Place the aircraft on level surface, as shown in the picture below. And then conduct gimbal auto calibration.

Note:
After gimbal auto calibration, if the Yaw axis of the Phantom 4’s gimbal is still slightly skewed, please don't worry, a slight deviation (less than 3°) is acceptable. Please tap Adjust Gimbal under Gimbal Settings to adjust the yaw axis. Thank you.

I did that today and also calibrated the controller sticks.  Seems better now.  Will report again soon.  Thanks.  Funny how the calibration instructions say to put the drone on a level surface.  Who would have guessed this position!
