Anafi rotating randomly

Just purchased the Parrot Anafi. It is the first drone I have owned and operated. I have a problem and have no idea if it is a rookie one or means I have faulty hardware.

When i launch the drone it hovers at about 3 feet. If I rotate the drone clockwise or anti-clockwise, it seems to trigger a slow clockwise rotation which cannot be reliably stopped. If I perform some other operation it may stop or may not. For example, if I move the drone or press the optics reset button, it may stop rotating (or may not). The behaviour obviously makes it unusable in capturing footage.

Anyone seen this before? Is it fixable or should I just return the drone as faulty?
 
Please do not double post. You asked exactly the same question on the Pilot Check-in section and I advised you to calibrate the Anafi using FF6.
 
Thank you Liger 1956. I accidentally posted in the Pilot Check-in and could not figure how to delete it. Noob error! I did calibrate with the app. As with other actions, it seemed to fix it at first but then it returned after a couple of minutes use. I also tried flying without the app - just with the controller. The result was the same, a short spell of good behaviour then random rotating.
 
If it seems to fly stable for a few minutes and then begins to rotate I'm wondering if it's heat related. I know very little about the Anafi's circuitry but something that occurs after a few minutes of operation could be the result of a system warming up and causing drift in a sensor. It doesn't sound to me like something easily diagnosed so if calibration can't get rid of it I'd return it and get it replaced.
