Maybe wait longer before takeoff so it locks onto more satellites.

I checked Phantom help and it locked onto the usual number of satellites like normal.

You could try calibrating the IMU through the app.

I need to charge my batteries first and then I’ll try. I did it like two days ago but it didn’t help.

Did you wait until it said, “home point updated, please check on the map?” If the home point wasn’t updated before you took off, the drone might treat the start point as 0 feet or meters.

We don’t know where you started but the height is measured from your starting point. It might be just 1 meter if you took off from a roof or balcony.

I started at ground level in my driveway.

Try landing and starting over again. Some drones are known to lose their height data sometimes.

I tried that today and two days ago but nothing changed.
