I need to understand what happened today: (Phantom 4)
Fully charged batteries.
Did preflight.
Usual place for take off
DJI GO4.
Said Inconsistent firmware.
I updated.
Switched off controller and aircraft (Phantom 4)
Turned on a/.c and controller (Controller 1st)
Calibrated IMU and Gimbal.
Switched everything off and restarted.
OBS off. VPS ON.
Took of very slowly as usual and when it got to 6" or so, started going up and down several times, about 6" each time. I did the best I could to land and shut off motors.
Turned everything off and restarted again.
Tried to take off again. Got to 6 or so inches and same behavior. Up and down, up and down.
"Landed of sorts" and switched everything off and restarted.
Took off again and climbed to 6 inches or so. Same behavior, up and down but this time I climbed to 3 feet and then 6 feet. It started to stabilize. I moved it to a more open (to sky) location 10 feet away and climbed to 12 feet or so. Got 16 sats. Was stable from that point on tested very carefully in all modes and sent on a W/P mission not far away, no problem.
What caused this? (All's well that ends well)
