I'm flying in low wind or no wind and keep getting high wind warning. The gimbal also keeps failing when flying sideways at 10mps which my last phantom 4 could handle with no problem.

All firmware is updated and all calibrations have been performed. Motors seem to also have a high pitch noise and sometimes vibrate on take off.
When shooting long exposures at night they are all blurry. Yaw seems to drift. So much for tripod in the sky.

Could you please provide the screenshot of the error message?
And please provide some videos of the gimbal and motor issue. I'll help to check it.

I would also like to see some examples of the situation that you are describing.

That doesn't seem to be the same description, as what others here have reported...
Hopefully, this can be corrected, and you get the flight characteristics, which you would expect...

I'm having the exact same problem: 1) High wind warning when theres hardly any wind. 2) Gimbal seems to point down or give me warning when moving sideways at medium speed  3) Low ISO with low shutter speed seem to give me a surprising amount of noise/grain in photos (Long exposures).
Image quality doesn't seem that much better than P4. Actually P4 Pro is worse in low light... at the moment. Took long exposure shots only 3 days ago on P4.

No problems with motors, software seems buggy while flying. BUT, I just used DJI Assistant 2 and it showed that firmware needed an update. So will have to wait until tomorrow to see if issues reoccur.

I went at least 26mph sideways today, actually.  I only glanced down & didn't get an exact TOP sideways speed, sorry.  But the gimbal was fine.  I did do an Auto Gimbal Calibration on a level surface and that fixed the intermittent slight twitch the gimbal had.  

BUT I do get the High Wind Warning constantly; even in no wind.

Also getting the Highwind warning, pretty much constantly even when there is no wind. I am on an iPad Pro with the latest firmware.

On my first flight on a dead calm day I was getting this same warning, so don't be too worried that there is something wrong with the drone, I bet all these problems get ironed out with updates

The high wind warning is over-tuned presently. it comes on when one one is moving at anywhere above 12-13ms/s but particularly when going sideways or backwards. Its harmless and I agree, and likely to be refined in future FW upgrades.

DJI: I think its good to have warning messages but if they are too sensitive, its going to be like MS Windows 7 about a decade back or so when people started ignoring well intended info messages from the system software simply because they were too many of them.

For that matter the Follow Me threshold for 'Good' GPS signal reception is set way too high as well. Safety first is a good philosophy but I think its been taken a little too far presently.

All altitudes.  Even put it into ATTI to see the lack of drift @ 230ft up.  I'm very aware of the winds aloft and surface.

Just flew it this morning and while there is a light wind, it's not a Class III Typhoon.  The unnecessary warnings are a distraction and cause clutter.  Also, the RED WIND WARNING is entirely overkill, as it should be YELLOW to indicate a warning, not immediate action required as is indicative of RED.

Here are two images from a few hours ago.  Honestly, It flies super sketchy. I don't feel confident flying this thing. I've had two Phantom 4s and they never gave me this much trouble. And I've flown them all over Canada and US in different weather/terrain.
Also,  the long exposure images are surprisingly grainy/noisy compared to Phantom 4. I had high hopes for P4 Pro, but I'm very disappointed at the moment.

This was taken on the first flight.  Official sunset was 1 minute later.  Not bad considering it was on Auto, overcast, dark.  It was dark in-person!  I hope your issues find resolve.

I deleted DJI GO 4 app thinking it would help resolve the other issues I had during flight. For example, could not take picture with remote controller. Only touch screen.
Also the auto focusing feature would get stuck and not let me get back to full screen.

It appears that me doing this wiped out the log. I would fly right now, but it's pouring rain outside. So will have to wait for a some hours for rain to clear before I can fly again.

The flight data are recorded in the aircraft.
You can use the same method as for the Phantom 4.
Here is a video tutorial for reference:

Kind of noisy at 100%. What were the settings? Mainly the ISO?

ISO 100, f/2.8 and 1/11"

I had it on auto.  It was 1 minute before sunset on DAY 1 with the P4P.  And I'm definitely no Ansel Adams!  hahaha

Quite impressive considering it looked nothing like this outside to the human eye...  It was dark!

No because I don't have another one to do so. I've contacted DJI and I'm sending it back. I've done everything asked and then some. So I'll just have to wait until I get another drone.

I too experienced this. I took the P4 pro out for it's maiden flight on Friday and within a minute of flying it showed the high wind error message appear. The wind was very light, 2-6kts and I was flying no higher than about 150'. Needs sorting.

Is this NOT happening on some P4P units or should it be happening on ALL units? Is it something that was resolved with the latest update? I ask because I have flown with the latest software in a few different wind conditions over the past few days and I have only received this warning 3 or 4 times and the times I did, the wind speed as likely 20-25+ mph (which seems to be an ideal time to get this warning). My quad does not seem to be as sensitive as many are saying theirs are. Could I be lucky or could my sensors be broken?
