Need some help. I recently experienced my mavic pro spinning uncontrolled and also flashed a gimbal motor overloaded error. I tried everything I could on the joysticks to combat the spin, but nothing would work. After a few minutes it eventually stopped and I was able to visually fly home for a safe landing. The gimbal/camera was tilted/skewed but luckily I had visual on it.
After landing and calming down a bit, I turned it back on and did a compass calibration and a gimbal calibration and flew again without any issues.
This is now the second time this has happened. Symptoms are the same for both flights. Everything starts out normal. Then I start to notice camera/gimbal is less responsive or skewed in some way. Then it goes into a dead/uncontrolled spin. After a few minutes of pushing the joysticks every which way to combat the spin, it eventually levels out and I can fly home. While it's in a dead spin I see Gimbal Motor Overloaded error flash up, and the gimbal sometimes bouncing between forward and down angles.
Both times I've taken off from the ground at the beach in loose sandy areas. Both times I've gotten it back, done a compass calibration and gimbal calibration and been good to go again. The first time it happened I thought sand got stuck in the gimbal and caused issues. I gave it a good cleaning (plus the calibration) and everything was fine again. This last time I took off from a more rocky area, but still with loose sand. Now that it's happened twice I'm getting paranoid about flying from the beach.
I have the .dat and flight log from this last flight but it's over 1 MB and I don't know how/where to upload it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
