I am having a little bit of an issue. When taking off on the Iris+ if I go in RTL mode during launching, it is stable and takes right off. If I enter in STD mode, and increase the throttle until it takes off. It seems like the back props are spinning at a higher rpm than the front. Which causes the Iris+ to do a nose dive. Or if I am in LTR mode (where the GPS balances out the Iris+) and I leave it alone, it tends to creep forward, until I pull back on the right stick to balance it out. Now I was going to do a "Calibrating the ESC" does that sound like what is the problem. I am very new, like my first ever quad copter. I was able to take off with the RTL at start-up, but in STD mode it just wants to nose dive. To me it really sounds like a ESC problem.Any help would be great, thank you.

Start with the basics first. Make sure the radio is trimmed neutral and the sticks have been calibrated. Then if it still pulls forward try the calibration.
Calibrating the ESCs is easy, so you might as well do it. But it does sound like your trims are off on your controller. So I would follow Nicks advice.
I'm very new as well, but I can tell you what I found when my Iris+ was doing flips on take off.. Check your transmitter. look at the display to see where the graphic (square boxes for stick position) shows the stick position. if your right stick isn't centered go into the main setup menu for the Tx. (i believe a long press on + will get you there) scroll through the menu screens until you see calibrate sticks & follow the instructions on the display. Maybe my transmitter is a lemon, but its worth a check. here is a link to a 2 min video of my issue...

Also, you might want to go through some of these videos:
