Hello,
I just found out if i put my ear by the camera on my mini 3 and shake the drone. I can hear some sort of rattling noise from it(the camera). Is this normal? can you guys try it and tell me if it exists on your drones or not? I know it is common for phones to have this because they have EIS or OIS built into their cameras but idk if mini 3 has that feature.
thanks

Its probably the gimbal bouncing on it's rubber dampeners.

I have held the camera still and I can hear it from the camera still. It's definitely from the camera

Dji, can you confirm if the mini 3 pro has a moving part in camera ? (Rattles when shaken)

Does it make the same sound if you try moving the gimbal side to side itself?

When the props are running, you won't hear anything from the drone other than the props.

I know but when I shake it when it's off, I can hear the noise

It's weird because my drone still flies without any warnings and the camera works fine.

Hi there. Thank you for reaching out and we're sorry for the trouble. Can you please try to perform the gimbal calibration and check if the issue persists? You may use your drone without no worries as long as you haven't received any error messages in the app also when flying. However, if you want, you may also send the unit to us for proper diagnostics. You may contact our team at https://www.dji.com/support to setup a ticket for your unit. Hope this helps. Thank you.
