I had a few odd issues with gimbal "Jump" and I looked at it closely. Turned out that the bracket that attaches the rubber vibration isolators to the gimbal was bent slightly. Ie if you look at the gimbal from the front, mine was sitting so that the vertical part of the gimbal arm was tilted as to bring the actual camera closer to that bracket. there was very little clearance, ie 1mm or less. It only became an issue with quick turns and rapid movements in sport mode. I believe the gimbal was swinging all around to keep the image level, but because it was so close it bumped it once in a while.
My Fix, I popped off the rubber bands, pulled the gimbal out of the area it hangs in without detaching any wires. Was not fun, those bands were easy to get off, but a B I a T cH to put back on. While it was off, I put a bit of force to bend that square plate a bit to make it 90 deg to the arm of the gimbal.
This mount did not seem too strong so be careful.
My theory is that while in fixed wing mode its operating the gimbal with different operations ( Ie so it stays tilted on a turn ) and yours might be binding on the same spot.
FYI, I have no Idea how this thing got bent in the first place. just one day my problem showed up, and after a few flights I looked very close at it. appeared to work normal, but binded against itself once in a while.
Just look to see if the vertical arm is a perfect 90 deg in relation to the plate and sitting perfectly vertical when you have the MP on a desk. Mine was leaning the one way which I initially passed off as just the canter leaver effect for the difference in the weight of the arm being off to one side.
But it fixed it, never had that weird twitch. |
