Phantom 4 (no longer under warranty)
Recently started within the past 1 week
Not hitting ribbon
No visible signs of damage
I have already done all calibrations and resets
Latest firmware on all items
So basically, 90% of the startups, this happens. This little gimbal dance continues on long past IMU initialization and long after the P4 gains full GPS and Home Point recording. Sometimes it settles after a few seconds, sometimes a few minutes and sometimes not at all. It's completely sporatic and there is no pattern or common denominator that I am seeing here.
I have seen the other threads about hitting the cable... this is not the case. I have also seen the threads stating that this may be an issue with the latest firmware. I sure hope this is the case!
No hard landings and no crashes. I use RTH to land 99% of the time. I live in northern Nevada so all I have is rocky desert but I always smooth out my launch and landing area so that there's nothing the camera may hit during landing. Only thing I can think of is dust stuck in there somewhere.
I have a hard time believing that this is a hardware issue because it only happens during startup. Once it figures itself out, it's good for the rest of the flight.
