Hi all,

I recently received my Mavic Pro (yay!) and it seems to be working perfecly. I'm just a little worried about the noises the gimbal makes when it's starting up.

It makes some clicking noises (almost as though parts of the gimbal are smashing into one another, but it doesn't look like any contact is made) as it rotates.

You can hear the symptomatic noises in this video: https://vid.me/Rnbm

Should I be worried about the noises, or are they normal? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
