    Hey guys,anyone can help me here please?
    I have done numerous compass and accelerometer calibrations,the H keeps making sudden moves on the air,while hovering or even when moving to a direction. While it seems stable,then sudden moves/twitches start showing, without me touching the sticks. Any one has any idea what is wrong? Happy flying people, and Happy New Year to all

    You might have a look at the ST16 hardware monitor screen to see there are no false inputs going to the H

    What would cause that? Wondering if that's what caused mine to leave a hover for a meeting with a tree

    So if its hovering it suddenly "twitches" or is this after moving in a particular direction that it twitches at the end of the movement? Mine can be twitchy like that especially in "smart" mode and its following me or watching me.

    I'd check the sticks on the ST-16 to make sure its not stick calibration related first.

    I'll assume this issue has nothing to do with location or intereference....

    If all tests and calibrations fail mentioned above, you may have a bad ESC or Flight Control Board and need to send her in.

    Even in a 15 mph wind my Q doesn't move more than 2 feet.

    I understand that, he said twitchy type actions. Wind can make a drone "twitch" or do short funny things.

    Probably sticks need calibration....see:

    The "H" has no problem in a 15 MPH wind!

    I'm having the same type of issue with both the q500 and typhoon h. I posted about it in the general forum.

    If all calibration were successful and you are sure you are in areas of no unusual interference, you may have a defective ESC, Compass or Flight Module, I had the same issues months ago after many successful flights, sadly my only option was a trip to California for repairs

    I agree with DroneClone above also make sure you have installed on your phone the apps
    UAV Forecast Kp index, winds, sat lock, etc
    Hover
    Flightradar 24
    B4UFLY
    Just to see if there is any abnormalities in the conditions where you are flying-just in case.
    Good luck and hopefully things will work out and you won't have to send it back to Cali. for repairs.

    The H has no problem in a 25mph wind but some operators might become alarmed to see their aircraft "leaning" into the wind or fail to pay more attention to battery voltage;)
