@brandon there are likely a number of things going on

If the drone sits idle for a period of time, the sensors heat up (accel and baro). When the props start spinning, the temperature drops causing significant drift. If you let the props spin for 10 or 20s cooling off the board, that can help

I would guess after 30-60s of flight, the altitude stabilizes. That is the temperature of the sensors stabilizng.

The latest SDKs have temperature compensated calibration for IMU and baro. Try calibrating accel and baro and see if that helps.

The GPS on Starling 2 Max has been tricky. We do have a new GPS on the way that looks promising, and hope to make it available in the next 2mo.

@Moderator Thanks for the quick response!

Which helper would you recommend for outdoor flight configuration with GPS? I see there are several available for different variations.

An added detail: we need good relative altitude measurements at low altitudes for our custom precision landing solution.

@brandon Do you have a plastic spudger tool? Something like this. A plastic tool will significantly reduce the possibility of damaging any components (compared to using anything hard like metal). Press only on the metal part of the connector to prevent warping that plastic nub end.
Typically we use a fingernail to press those connectors in place but for that connector in particular it would be hard to reach with a fingernail. 6d21bb38-e0a6-4d12-b21a-d201dd4fc446-image.png
