    Hi @Moderator my starling seems to be a bit jittery in position mode, note I had to kill the drone once and it fell from a height of 50 cms and since than it has been like that, What could be the issue here?

    Here's a video of that for your reference

      @Darshit-Desai I am having the same issue on both VOXL and VOXL2 after the upgrade. Let me know if you figure out.

        Have you followed the VIO troubleshooting guide? What does voxl-inspect-imu output?

        Are the image sensors still mounted firmly? it sounds like there was damage somewhere to the frame

          @Moderator The structural integrity of the sensor mounts are fine, I checked. I am attaching a few snapshots of inspect-qvio and inspect-imu they also read ok

            @Darshit-Desai what do those do when you're flying? Sitting on the ground isn't really stressing the system
