I bring this up because today, somewhat randomly, I decided to see how my P3 would fair simply hovering (appx 10 ft off the ground) I had my hands off the controller to observe the hovering stability and I wasn't too crazy about it. It was moderately windy but I had performed a compass calibration before flying today and had like 15 satellites locked on so I expected a more stable hover.
It was drifting to the side quite a bit. When I wanted to land it on top of a table (had it lined up right on top of it in the middle) I couldn't simply press DOWN I had to constantly adjust the right stick. It just felt less stable than I think it should.
In fairness I haven't really specifically analyzed this before so I can't say for sure whether it may have something to do with firmware/weather/etc.
I guess what I'm looking for is: (1) share how stable your P3 hovers and whether you're happy with it or not AND (2) what are the best steps to take to try to get it to hover in a more stable manner.
Update: Decided to check out DJI website to see if I can chat with one of their "technicians" Was a waste of time and a joke. Hope I never need them for any real assistance. See below.
