When I hold both sticks toward center to take off(from pad) drone rises to over 7 feet and then revs or shakes multple times before stabilizing, why?

Have you ever replaced the props? Are they original DJI blades? Are any of the blades damaged? Those are questions that come to mind.

I’m not sure what else could be causing the problem. If you don’t have any additional accessories installed on the drone then maybe you have a hardware problem which needs service by DJI.

The other option is to post about your problem on MavicPilots forum. See the link at the bottom of this forum. It is a much larger forum and has a few experts who are very skilled at troubleshooting drone problems.

Good luck.

Firmware update didnt help. Same take off proplems but this time as soon as it takes off from the pad it shakes, floats backwards and slightly up to 30 feet .You have to hold throttle stick down so it doesnt keep going up, then after 5 seconds of fighting with it it stabilizes and is completely normal. What is going on? It barely has 5 flights and recalibrated compass and IMU. Im using RC2 DJI should look into pad takeoffs.

Have you tried posting at MavicPilots? There are more experts over there.

I noticed in the RC2 simulator, I was getting some stick drift, twitching like crazy. when not even touching remote, I recalibrated the controller sticks maybe that was the issue.
