Strange I upgraded mine from 1.6 and have not encountered the same. I did not do a IMU calibration. I dont do IMU calibrations unless it fails the check IMU or the values displayed are out of spec after upgrades. Not a big fan of IMU calibration in my circumstance as it is difficult to find a good spot that is free from disturbance in my area.
P3 Firmware v1.7.0060

Somewhere along the way dji introduced a problem in windy conditions and using slow flight gentle stick forward/reverse input. It has never been corrected, although I'm on 1.6 and have yet to update. But as you've noticed, faster and harder stick input makes the bird fly straight. I've only noticed this problem in stiffer breeze and windy conditions. I honestly don't think it will ever be corrected. It's been too long now and updates just do not address it. I manage, but it is a drag to deal with. I will not at all be surprised when the P4, with all its compass and imu redundancy, will have its perfect flight hosed with this behavior along the way. They make a perfectly stable bird initially and then through updates, screw more things up than fix. Wish they didn't do that.

It's better to leave bin file on ad card if you are not sure if all of your batteries have been upgraded. It does no harm.
P4 stores the battery updates on the bird and thus no need to worry about forgetting battery updates.
Where might I find an example of IMU readings that fall within an acceptable range? I would love to be able to gauge if things seemed out of whack and recalibration was required.

Hello everyone, I asked earlier in this thread and no one replied to my question, I also did a search and couldn't find anything related to it, my question was and is, what does the new update for the controller do?, why the need to upgrade the controller?, just wondering

Thanks for posting. I think I'm in range. After updating FW, I did IMU calibrations on 2 P3Ps and I guess it's the compass readings that I just don't understand.

Those xyz compass readings are from the sensors and they generate the mod value, which should be around 1500. Mod value for gyro should be 0.0 and 1.0 for acceleration.Thanks for posting.

FYI latest DJI app 2.7.0 & 2.7.1 no longer shows camera feed when using a Samsung Note 8 running Android 4.4.2 have to go back to DJI app 2.6.0 firmware in bird & controler is the latest but does not show up in the 2,6.0 app. All is fine running latest firmware & using a Samsung Note 3 running Android 4.4.2 Strange. Also found during Firmware update that the controller would only update when connected to an internet enabled device ie the note 3 it would not update via the sd card being connected direct to the controller nor via the usb cable connected to the Gimble, have others had similar problems?
Mine too...helps to pinch to shrink first, then it seems to work better, but not totally smooth.
