Hey everyone,

I just bought an Osmo Mobile on 12 December 2017, and it was working fine all the way till 31 December 2017, and until recently, I tried using it again but I'm encountering this blinking yellow light on the right-side System Indicator when it's powered up.

However, there is a slight diagonal tilt, and I'm not able to control it anymore. I've never dropped it, or squashed it, as it's always well protected in my backpack.

I found a video online with a very similar problem to mine:

Can anyone here kindly help me with this please?

I've tried many ways to troubleshoot it but I'm not sure how to send it back also, and where to (as I am from Singapore and there doesn't seem to be a repair centre here).
I'm going for another trip soon, and will be needed this for my work.

Thank you,
Hobbes

to add, at times it now makes a clicking sound that seems a bit weird.

can any DJI staff please help me out here? also, what is the exchange policy?

hoping to look for a replacement, and even better still, if it does qualify for a replacement, what are the chances we cold top up a little more for the osmo mobile 2, which gizmodo says there's much less problems?

Hi Hobbs, sorry to read on your post.
Please try to connect to Osmo Mobile Bluetooth, then disable ''Mobile device detect'' in gimbal settings to see if it works.
Or please try another mobile device to do a brief troubleshooting.
Please keep me updated if the problem persists. Thank you.

Hi Mindy,

Thank you so much for responding to me! Appreciate it.

Can I check where is the "mobile device detect" settings in Settings>Gimbal? I can only see "Fast Configuration" (Slow/Medium/Fast), "Calibrate" (Calibrate Horizon/Auto Calibration), "General (Joystick Control Detection and Reset Gimbal)? I''m using the Android OS with Samsung S8+, and I also recently double checked it's the latest firmware for my Osmo Mobile.

I've tried with my friend's phone but it doesn't work as well.

Hi Mindy,

Thank you so much for responding to me! Appreciate it.

Also, I've tried all the settings possible... calibration, etc.

thanks for sharing this.

it works for a while, like green light as per normal for a few seconds, then i realised there is a series of slight vibration of the motors, and then it's back to the blinking yellow light again...

any other workarounds?

Hi, I am having the exact same issue. Can someone help with the fix please?

There is something wrong with the gimbal...

Hobbes, sorry to know the issue persists, I'm afraid the device will need to be sent in for evaluation, please email to support@dji.com to start a ticket, they will guide you to send in, thank you.

Pria, sorry to know that, did you try my post above? Is the gimbal balanced well before powering on?

I have sent my device in to the DJI repair store in California. Pretty sure the rotors stopped working for some reason..

Exactly the same issue as shown on the video

I got a call but the mail I received they are replacing only two contents as below:



but I sent the whole package including power cable, battery, osmo bag :



Are they not shipping all that I sent?

They probably will send all items back... I send in my Mavic Pro some time ago, DJI replaced the MP and I got it back with my own controller, battery and other stuff I send with it.

@Pria, yours is getting a replacement? wow.   

mine's getting a repair though, not a replacement.

hopefully this works out for me, else i might have to consider Osmo Mobile 2 badly! (or other brands )

Hobbes C Posted at 2018-1-25 16:20

I'm having the same problem too,

I am so over DJI, I have 3 devices from them and never ever buy from them again

There is something wrong with the gimbal...

Hi Mari,

Im having the same issue also.
Mine has Yellow light blinking ...., which says, The gimbal is not functioning normally.

Can you please advise what's best to do?

Many thanks in advance.

If after a reset the leds keeps blinking yellow I'm afraid you have to send it in to DJI...

Hey Mari thanks for your reply.

I’ve contacted them and waiting for them to get back to me.
Cheers

Hi, I’m have same issue too. My dji mobile has yellow light blinking. Can you help me?

Hi.

I am having the same issue. The light blinks yellow, and the gimbal will not balance at all, it simply goes floppy.

I have a ticket open, but it is being dealt with very poorly - I am repeatedly being told to put the device in and try it again - I have had three or four emails simply repeating the same instruction. Please can this be esca;Arden to someone who will actually try to help instead of being obstructive as Herman is?

Ticket number 1206260.

Many thanks

Gary

Mine is osmo mobile 1st gen.
2 weeks ago I found the same problem (yellow blinks) but with notification: "failed to start gimbal, please check if the gimbal is leveled, if the mobile is mounted (mobile 1st gen), or if it is locked (with lock model). If the problem still existed please contact DJI support.

I have tried to use white card to manipulate the sensor but no luck.
With resetting the setting or uninstall the app not helping at all.
I search entire the google still the same.
Untill i try to press the button on Tilt motor.....
And the result.... Mine into the normal state again ☺.

You may try this way if you got yellow blinks led.
Hope yours will revive again

I have received osmo mobile 2 as a gift on October 2018. Now mine is doing the same thing as on video. I live on Toronto Canada. What should i do?

I hadn't my DJI Osmo 2 since the summer and went to turn it on today.  When it turned on the gimbal went to engage and then failed and the yellow light started blinking - no phone on device.  However, when I went into the app on my phone and connected it to the gimbal, then placed it in the bracket, it seemed to work fine.  Not sure why it gave an error without the phone and worked with, but make sure you guys give it a shot.
