Hello,

I would like to ask for help with my completely new mavic:

While trying the first flight, I can hear a strange sound from the mavic body which starts after starting the motors:
I thought the sound could be from motors itself or propellers, but the sound continues even after turning the motors completely off as you can see on the video.

The sound occurs however not alway after starting the motors, ca. in 50% of cases, sometimes I do not hear anything strange.
Mostly the sound goes away quickly as soon as I take the mavic body (after the motors are turned off but the sound persists) in my hand.

Thank you very much for your help!

Definatly sounds like the internal fan, I assume you only hear this sound after the aircraft has been powered up for a while.

Yep, I concur. Internal fan hitting something. I've built (and closed up before I tested first) enough computers to know when a fan is hitting an errant cord.

I have the same problem since I bought this drone in the first batch of release and this is causing gimbal jitter in my video too i think funny that every DJI support i talk to keep asking me to calibrate gimbal and IMU

Sounds like a bad internal fan motor bearing.  The fan runs for a while after the prop motors have stopped on powerdown.
