I tried to fly my P4P+ in 18miles/hour wind and to take some photos, I found the gimbal could not move at all. It kept in downward position. Then I took the drone home and re-calibrated the gimbal and IMU, everything was fine. I flied at home, gimbal showed normal.


Does anyone see the similar situation?
What's the reason?


Thanks!

Are you flying with a filter?
Also, flying in those winds is a good way to lose or crash a drone.

I didn't use filter this time.

Because it was just a short distance  (less than 500m)  and not high  (35m) fly, I don't think it was high risk.

Did it work normally when you fly your drone without wind? Please fly in a recommended place and give us feedback. Thanks for your support.

Yes, gimbal works normal when the wind is less than 12 miles per hour. I also observed that the P4P+ can resist about 15 miles per hour wind before, that is the maximal.
