gimbal motor overload, gimbal severe vibrations, you name it I got it, now everytime I attempt to calibrate the gimbal it only goes to 5% and no further, can you advise me on what I should do next? gimbal motor load too large,  that's the warning I'm getting now.  Help!!

I'm really sorry to hear that. Have you calibrated the gimbal? If you already did, try to restore and refresh the firmware using DJI Assistant 2. You can download the software here : (https://www.dji.com/mavic/downloads) and follow the video tutorial below. If the issue persists, kindly contact our support team to start up a case: (https://www.dji.com/support?site=brandsite&from=nav) You can provide your case number here in case you need further assistance. Thanks for your support.

Usual troubleshoots mate: factory reset, FW refresh, calibrate everything - ensure no filters are on the gimbal and obviously that the lock is removed. If it persists then the gimbal may simply need servicing/replacing.

So annoying sometimes - good luck with it mate

Hey Jack, do me a favour and check that the gimble is seated properly under the plates, the back needs to be under a sort of L bracket and the fronts ....well under the front brackets, sorry Bud but I dont have a picture of it maybe someone has one that they can post so you know what I am talking about

Sorry Jack, then I am at a loss unless you on an older firmware then should try updating

I have this issue and I am using a mac to do the calibration

I am Having this same problem did you ever get it fixed?

Hi guys on my way to a shoot. Had the same problem and crapped myself. I just randomly messed around until I saw a "motors in sleep mode" message for a second, then it suddenly just worked. I'm in a blind panic now and can't offer more but maybe that's a clue for someone.
