Hello!
I own a brand new DJI Phantome 4 Advanced and I have a lot of provblems with it.

1. When starting the aircraft, the camera makes a moves as the ghimbal is warming up. The camera gets its horizontal-front possition  but after a few seconds  a noise comes out from ghimbal and it lose its position making a tilt down.The camera aim (tilt) down  a little bite (approximate 70degrees ) when it is suppossed to stay firm at 90degree (horizontaly)
2. When I fly the aircraft and I comand rotating to the left or right the camera has a tilt up and then slowly moves to the horizontal position.
3. I have tried again to auto calibrate the ghimbal but it gets stuck at 50% calibration process.
I really need help, please!

Hello! Thank you for your quick answer. I had no crash and no such problems at all. I flew the aircraft twice (yesterday and the day before) without any problem but I have noticed that the tilt doesnt work as I wished and the same the horizont line. From here I stated looking for similar problems on the net and I found many people have the same problems. The firmware update I did couple of days ago when I start ussing it for the first time. The problem I have is same with this one from the video link below:

Yes, the camera gets its horizontal-front possition  but after a few seconds  a noise comes out from ghimbal and it lose its position making a tilt down, and the firmware update did not solve the problem. I installed the beta firmware on my P4A and the problem was not fixed, now is there another step we can take to fix this?

Mircea, just to verify, the beta was installed successful and the gimbal noise has gone, right? As for the gimbal horizontal issue, does it appear in every flight? Have you tried to reset the camera settings and calibrate the gimbal successfully?

I have a DJI Phantom 4 advanced and update the firmware today. After doing so I calibrated the joystick then took it for a flight and within 30 seconds the camera started ahking back and forth and said gimbal overload. Also the drone beeps while the camera wiggles back and forth. I tried a gimbal calibration and it said it completed it but it still does the same thing. I tried again and it stops at 50% and will not finish.
Unit has not been crashed. Worked fine an hour before the firmware update. Unit is a week old.
I hear there may be a beta update that might correct the issue?
account is dmetzger20875@gmail.com
Thanks for any help.
If this does not work what is the next step where it is a week old.

No one from the admin has answered yet can someone please send me some kind of info to help me out. I got an email back saying send the drone in but it is 7 days old. This is crazy for a 1200 dollar drone.
Does the beta software fix the gimbal problem or not?

Hello! The beta was installed successful but the gimbal noise has not gone. As for the gimbal horizontal issue it appears at every flight, and it appears also when I change PAL to NTSC standard.  I did calibrate all the sensors of the drone.  And the reset of the settings did not solve anything.

Mircea, so the current firmware is 01.00.0800, right? If updating to the beta successfully and the issue remains, I sincerely suggest you send the unit for fully diagnosis. You may start a case from here: https://www.dji.com/support

Same problem here, did you solve it?

I sent my Phantom Advanced to the repair service and they fixed it.  Soon after that my drone couldn't be used because the image  transmission was always broken so that I have sent it again to the repair service in Germany. Yesterday I've got it back but nothing fixed. They only replaced the RC but the drone has the same behaviour. Doesn't transmit any image to the phone. I fell like very frustrated to buy a drone and not to be able to use it.

The beta did not solve the problem.  I'm not sure if this is a mechanical or software problem.  I think it the firmware because before it completely starts up it responds and acks normal even going between forward facing and downward facing camera how it should, then all the sudden it starts a drunken slow dance.  I have tried to fly it and it is sloppy and always acts like FPV mode even when it in follow.  anyways here's the video.
