Hi!
My Inspire 2 have had an issue lately where the landing gear is not lowering fully when the drone comes in for landing. This results in the gimbal juuust scratching the surface as the drone lands. This is an issue as it is damaging to the gimbal/optics, and also if I power the drone down and then back up, the gimbal motors are fighting gravity upon the boot calibration procedure. I'll then have to hold the drone up above the ground as I boot it up, for the gimbal to do it's thing.

When unpacking the drone and putting it out of travel mode the landing gear always lowers to the right position. The error only occurs after flight.

Anyone else had this or have any idea how to solve this issue?

Cheers

The motor to push the landing gear up/down has always been a weak point.

I don't think the motor is the problem - like I said: the landing gear is fully lowered when exiting travel mode.

Following this, LMK what was the issue and how it was resolved. I have the same problem, with a bout 5-6mm of travel left undone when lowering the gears. Although it sort of work if I action the gears a couple times before landing... not optimal of course.

I had to send the Inspire in to DJI for service. I have no idea what they did or if there is anything you can do to fix the issue on your own, unfortunately.
