Well this is fun. Now my gimbal just rocks back and forth and doesn't stop no matter what resetting I try. Says
'"Hardware mailfunction, contact dji for repairs" Fun! I've flown it 5 times!

Get your money back if its not too late and if you get a new one DONT UPDATE THE D*MN FIRMWARE no matter what you do!

Have the drone been crashed or not? Post the error message and I'll check.

No crash, no issues. Worked great one day, not the next. I did not do the firmware update.

Sounds like a rock solid case for refund or replace.   How long since purchased?
Good luck!

Got it last Wednesday!

Returned it, got my new one today and am playing around with it now.

Good deal!  Better luck with this one

Hi guys,

I just had the same issue with a Mavic Pro. Gimbal went back and forth. Calibrating of IMU didn't help, calibration of gimbal was only possible to 5% then aborted after some minutes. I read a lot about replacing the ribbon cable or gimbal arm or starting the drone upside down or slighty turned to the right. Nothing helped.

For me the following procedure fixed it:
- start drone with clamp for gimbal attached (!)
- start calibration of gimbal (clamp attached)
- after calibration startet (showing 5%) I removed the clamp

Calibration went through up to 100% then everything was fine again.
