So, i did a silly thing and flew my drone into a concrete wall lol (sport mode so no sensors) casing came unclipped and camera lens came off, all clipped back together as should and seems to be fully operational. what i have noticed now tho (cant guarantee it didnt happen before and i didnt notice untill now but i cant exactly argue that now can i lol) is when i raise and lower the gimble it will randomly pause for a second (if that) then continue on its merry way until its at its limits. it does the both ways.

my question is, is that normal or have i ruined the gimble and need to use the care refresh (dont trust a beginner aka myself to fly these things)

Hi, StutterDuds. Thank you for reaching out. We're sorry to read about what happened. Since the drone had an incident we highly suggest sending the unit in for a proper diagnosis.  You may submit an online repair request through this link: {https://repair.dji.com/repair/index}. For DJI Care Refresh case, you may go here: https://www.dji.com/support/service/djicare-refresh. If you need assistance with creating a ticket, you may contact DJI support at https://www.dji.com/support. We understand that this is not the answer that you look forward to, but this would be the best thing to do in this situation. Your kind understanding is appreciated and thank you for your continued support.

Its not normal, i would use a refresh...

I just got my Mini 3P activated today and it does the same thing.  Also have the latest RC update.  When panning up or down, it will stop 0-4x in random spots (sometimes it goes the entire pan up or down without issue). Some pauses can be slightly longer than others.   I haven't flown it yet and was told by the retailer to try flying it and the issue would likely go away.  I calibrated the gimbal 2x but it didn't help.  

Hi guys

1 month has passed and dji has not come up with anything smarter than to send such a letter, after an authorized center in Vietnam wrote to them about repairing a defective mavic3 copter ...

1. a letter from the dji center in Vietnam to dji himself - it took them 1 month to connect with each other, this is the highest level of communication that I have seen for his 43 years of life))

2. letter dji's response to 1 letter, when they all got sick on the eve of Christmas, so to speak, the staff ran out, apparently it was hard to stretch that cable to Vietnam to write to their own dji authorized center.

3. I appeal to dji fans who will stand up for dji, I believe that you sincerely love the products that dji produces.  But the fact remains that dji has a defect in the products they produce and there is a huge problem with support in the world. Personally, I will think 7 times before buying the next new product from dji, since I have a negative experience of buying a defective mavic3 copter and as a result, dji's unwillingness to solve this problem promptly, I will remind you that the replacement of the gimbal and camera can be carried out in 2 hours, but 1 month has passed and dji is not able to agree, to convey clearly and clearly to his the client and to the DJI center algorithm of actions! This is a fact! About my spoiled emotional state on Christmas Eve, I'd rather keep silent or you'll throw slippers))

Dear Alexiss,

Sorry for the late reply. As we are holding the Mavic 3 unit which belongs to Mr. Sergey and we have the Gimbal and Camera module in stock, we are willing to help him solve the issue as soon as possible for his convenience.
We only have one question - if we create a normal Local In-Warranty repair case, how will DJI confirm and return us with the other ....$?

Mr. Sergey's Mavic 3 unit will be handled for repair as soon as we receive the solution from you.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best Regards,
DJI Authorized Service Center Vietnam.

Took the M3P today for a few flights and from the few tests I ran on the gimbal, the gimbal didn't pause on the way up or down like it did when on the ground.
