All of a sudden I noticed my gimbal is slightly misaligned when it starts up. I tried the Gimbal Calibration, resetting the yaw and all the other items in that part of the gimbal menu. I have all the latest firmware as of today. Anyone have any idea on how else to recalibrate this or what is going on?

Hey, DJI, any response or advice?

Mine does that too!
I think it is a characteristic not a defect!

Probably not. Mine did not do that before last week.

Sorry for the late response, are you getting any error message on our DJI GO 4 app?

No, no error. Camera seems to operate fine. Just the initial alignment is off.

Would it be possible if we can provide a short video in regards to this issue? Please use google drive and dropbox then provide the link here for further investigation. Thank you.

Try the following in the order stated:

1) Cold IMU calibration on a level surface
2) Compass calibration in open space
3) Gimbal calibration, then manually adjust yaw if needed (unlikely)

This helped me with the same issue after the April firmware update.

Tried all that and nothing. Other X7 works fine on the same Inspire 2 crafts. Then, like a dumbass, I thought maybe I have bumped it during transport or sometime during a landing on uneven surface where the camera has nudged the ground so I tried to force it beyond the hard stop to see if would realign and I slipped and sheared off all the connections in the inside of the gimbal. Sent it to DJI for repair. Their assessment is $379 crash landing repair. My fault for getting frustrated and thinking I could fix it myself. Should have just lived with an off center gimbal on start up that I could easily correct with a slight yaw movement.
