Air2s Issue - Climbs before moving forward in normal mode

Questions & Answers
1

I have an Air2s, I noticed today when in normal mode after take off using the RHS stick (Mode 2) The Air2s climbs initially before moving forward. It doesn’t exhibit this behaviour in C (Cine) mode. My Mini3 Pro doesn’t do this. I have callibrated and it’s still the same, both have Drone Hacks installed. Any one experience similar behaviour

Update - there are a few posts on the internet regarding this issue, it only happens in Normal Mode with sensors set to bypass.

Do you think you could post them here as it may help others if they experience the same problem.

Do you have yours set to bypass or brake ?

If set to bypass maybe it’s detecting something ie the ground or whatever hence why it’s climbing ?
Just a guess mind,
If it is set to bypass maybe worth changing the setting & try ?
On the flip side I’m guessing you may have tried this but was just a thought,

I’ve updated your title so it’s a bit more to the problem your experiencing :+1:

I’m away from home with limited access, it’s only a problem in N mode with bypass mode selected. I’ll post other mentions on the internet when I’m home. I normally use Cine mode or Sport for return flights and very rarely use N mode so I’ve not noticed previously. My Mini3 Pro doesn’t exhibit this behaviour. I’ll ask DJI when I’m back.

Isn’t sport mode default OA off unless you may have turned it on ?
Maybe be worth in trying setting cine & normal to brake ‘ if you’ve not all ready ‘ then try that & see how it behaves would be my first go to & or turn OA off .

You may have seen/read this all ready but just thought id put it out here,

If your DJI Air 2S ascends unexpectedly in Normal mode when attempting to move forward, the issue is likely related to sensor calibration. Here’s a breakdown of potential problems and solutions:

  1. Sensor Calibration Issues:
  • Vision Sensor:
    The drone relies on sensors (Forward, Backward, Upward, Downward Vision Systems, and Infrared Sensing System) for positioning and stability in Normal mode. If these sensors are not calibrated correctly, the drone might not be able to accurately determine its position, leading to unintended ascents or drifts.
  • IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit):
    The IMU measures the drone’s acceleration and rotation, which are crucial for maintaining stability. An improperly calibrated IMU can cause the drone to behave erratically.
  • Compass:
    The compass helps the drone determine its direction and orientation. A faulty or uncalibrated compass can also lead to unexpected movements.
  1. Potential Solutions:
  • Calibrate Vision Sensors:
  • Connect the drone to a computer via USB.
    • Launch DJI Assistant 2 and follow the on screen instructions for vision sensor calibration.
  • Calibrate IMU and Compass:
  • Check GNSS Signal:
  • In Normal mode, the drone relies on GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) for positioning. If the GNSS signal is weak, the drone might switch to Attitude (ATTI) mode, which is less stable.
    • Try moving to a location with a stronger GNSS signal.

Thank you I’m away in the Peak District until Saturday. I’ll check these out over the weekend.
