DJI MINI 3 PRO DRONE

Drifting is common for beginner drones that do not have GPS:

• Perform trim adjustments on the controller.
• Recalibrate the gyro on a flat surface.
• Ensure there is no wind during the takeoff.

• Use the controller for fine‑tuning (trim buttons) to correct drifting.
• Re‑calibrate internally (gyro/IMU calibration).
• Ensure all propellers are undamaged and installed correctly.

• If the drone you own weighs less than 100g, you don't have to get a a Flyer ID. However the CAA recommend you take the test to get one, as it will help you fly safely and legally.
• A drone over 100g, the rules change. Check here for what is required.

• Charge it properly: Avoid overcharging the battery. Charge it fully, but don’t leave it plugged in for too long. 
• Avoid flying when the battery is low: Try to fly when the battery is above 50%. Flying when it’s too low can cause it to drain faster. 
• Store it right: If you're not flying for a while, store the battery at around 50% charge to keep it healthy. 

• Fly in open areas: Try flying in open spaces with a clear view of the sky. Tall buildings or trees can block the GPS signal. 
• Recalibrate the drone: Some drones need to be recalibrated to improve GPS accuracy. Check the user manual for how to do it. 

• Turn everything off and on again: Turn off both the drone and the controller, then turn them back on. This can help reset the connection. 
• Check for interference: Avoid flying near Wi-Fi routers or other electronic devices that could cause signal interference. 
• Check the connection: Make sure the drone is connected to the controller properly.

• Calibrate the drone: Most drones need a calibration of their compass or sensors before flying. Follow the instructions in your manual to do this. 
• Check the propellers: Make sure the propellers are clean and properly attached. Damaged propellers can make the drone unstable. 
• Fly in calm weather: Wind can make it harder to control your drone. Try flying on calm days for better stability. 

• Clean the lens: Dirt or fingerprints on the camera lens can cause blurry footage. Gently wipe the lens with a soft cloth. 
• Check settings: Make sure the camera settings (like focus or resolution) are correct for your environment. 
• Update firmware: Sometimes camera issues can be solved with a simple software update. Check if your drone needs an update.
