Phantom 3 Rotating When Accelerating Directly Upwards

[dronezone1010]

Hi

I've very much a Phantom newbie, and today ascended the drone to about 250 feet vertically. I simply pushed the left stick upwards to achieve this.

I noticed that during the ascent the camera rotated slightly to the left? Is this normal? There was a slight breeze of about 12 -14 miles an hour at ground level. I'd imagine wind speed would be slightly higher at 250 feet.

Can the wind cause this rotation, or is it a case of 'pilot error'?

Thanks.

It could be that you inadvertently had your stick a little left.
Otherwise it may require you to calibrate the remote contoller (sticks).

Good point MDowney, I don't recall calibrating the sticks, so better make that a priority. Thanks.

If you play your flight back in the app, you can turn on / view your remote sticks movements.
