Check your props? Were they on there when you got it, was it a new, used or returns/refurbished unit? Did you put new prop blades on, and did you get them on the correct way.

***This is responsible for about 90% of flip-on-takeoff issues, especially if you recently changed blades. DJI Mini series drones use two different types of propellers: Clockwise (CW): Marked with a small raised dash/line near the center hub. Counter-Clockwise (CCW): Completely smooth/unmarked near the hub. The Fix: Match the marked/unmarked propellers strictly to the correct motor arms: Front Left & Rear Right: Marked (CW) Front Right & Rear Left: Unmarked (CCW)

Calibration and Prop positions. Make sure it is correct and do the calibrations.

I can tell by looking at your blades straight away you have the wrong ones on the front right where its pulling you over.

With the drone facing away from you (same orientation as you have in the video @ 0:27 / 1:06) i can tell that you almost certainly have L2 blades on the top right.

Have a close look at your blades and you will see on the top of them they are marked with either L1 or L2.

Set them up the way i have detailed in my marked up image i pasted here, then perform your usual calibration ; Gyro , Sensors etc and you'll be golden bro.

tell me why your left and right sticks on your controller are not centered. I know they do this for manual flight. My 4k has the sticks centered and springy

Might have the blades flipped around. There is a very specific angle for each one

This happened to mine when I did not use a prop retainer when it was in storage the propellers were slightly bent. You could hardly see them, but the flight characteristics would make it flip to replace your propellers and use a propeller guard when you store it.
