P3 not stable hover recently

[t2adze]

Hello everyone


I wanna ask,

recently my p3a, became a little bit not stable while hovering in place. No crash or anything occured.
How can i fix it?

IMU Calibration? What else?

Turn off the VPS and see if that helps. I leave mine off and never use it. I have found it much smoother to land as well.

This is assuming you are hovering at 20ft or less.

If it's TBE, a compass calibration should help.

I see, Thanks

But IMU is also neccesary? or i can try those advice first and after approach IMU?

Try one fix at a time. That way you'll know what resolved the problem (for future reference in case it happens again).

Hey again,

Did the compas calibration. Turned off the VPS. But i think the hover is not stable. P3A.

Here is the video, of hovering on 1.5m and after around 3m altitude for a little while.

Let me know if it definately is out of normal or i am being too picky

No surprises at 1.5m altitude. Stick it up at 10m or so in calm conditions and see how much drift you get.

I received my P3P back from repairs and set up for a test flight ... did all the usual - made sure all OK ...

Went outside and that bird just would not settle into a hover ... she was unstable and ranging about 2m either side .... I did the rest of the flight to test camera etc. - All went well apart from that initial Toilet Bowl Effect.

I re-calibrated IMU / Compass and then tried another flight. Totally different - steady as a rock.

Here's first test ... you will get the idea as soon as she lifts off !!

And then here again after calibrating again ... steady as a rock (well as good as you ever get within 1 - 2ft)

I have the Phantom 3 Professional and it does drift, it needs constant adjustment with the remote controls. Unlike the Mavic Platinum which is superb. It will hover in the same place for a very long time allowing a flyer to adjust settings on the remote. Mine is completely updated with the firmware. It seems to be a common problem with the Phantom 3 series. I wonder if DJI can somehow fix this problem. I calibrated everything compass & IMU, no difference!

I have same problem. I even demagnetized the compass. Calibrated IMU. But no success.

Did you change the propellers by chance?

You and your propellers
Why would that cause drift

How do you "demagnetise" the compass? Not heard of that??
Calibrate yes but not demagnetise?
