So, the problem appears to be trying to use the new low-noise propellers, which I had ordered for my Mavic.
I did gimbal calibration; that didn't seem to make any difference. Today when I went to fly, I was able to do one flight about the same as before-- i.e. mostly okay, with occasional "gimbal shake" warnings-- but then when I tried to do a second flight, it was utterly unusable. Continuous gimbal-shake warnings, and the picture was garbled. I tried hovering the drone right in front of me so I could watch it, and I could see that it was shaking very badly. The gimbal was vibrating up and down several times a second, and the whole body of the drone was vibrating some, too.
On a hunch, I tried replacing the new low-noise propellers with the original ones that came with the Mavic ... and then the gimbal shake problem went completely away. Took off, flew, didn't receive any gimbal shake warnings for the whole flight.
Not sure why the low-noise propellers would cause that problem... or why they'd seem to fly just fine for several flights and then end up completely unusable. Anyway, for now it appears I'm good to go; I'm just kinda sad that I can't use my new propellers.
(Which puzzles me, because I thought the new propellers were supposed to work with the original Mavic, just not with quite as many benefits as with the Platinum?) |
