Listen to audio in the video and notice the noise it makes when I move rooms? what can it be? the drone has one week

That sounds to me like the wrong PID settings on Alexmos (the motors complains and starts shaking) Try to recalibrate the gimbal. What I'm concern also is that ribbon pressing the gimble down on right side. If you heard about gimbal balancing, the way that ribbon is mounted doesn't look ideal to me. Wondering as well if that ribbon cable gets stiffer (harder) in cold temperatures. My P4 pro+ gimbal doesn't have that noise do (not yet

Hello, could you please clarify which Phantom model you have? Phantom 4 or Phantom 4 Pro?
Do you have any issue with the image or video?

Mine makes the exact same sound

Is this normal? I just received my P4P+ yesterday and it makes a similar noise.

Also when the aircraft is off and I push the camera down gently it makes a faint crushing sound... like crushing a bug.

My $400 P3S does not make a single noise. How could an $1800 drone do this. If it's normal it's ok but if it's not it's going back.

Mine sounds the same. Never had this with my P4

same disorder on two phantom 4 pro. :/

that's weird I am glad mine doesn't do this I hope its a firm ware issue I will have to see what mine I received today does when the weather warms up.

The camera clicking sound I have is shown in this video from another post in this site. DJI never said if this was normal.

Mine does not touch the ribbon cable at all but it's quite close.

Anyone else have this issue... DJI is this normal?

Ha! I have a couple gimbals I work with and balancing those are crucial. So of course I had to balance my P4P+ camera out of my own pickiness.

Mine makes this noise too.  Several reports here and elsewhere.  Mine is non + model, latest Jan. firmware.

Hello, if you don't have any issue with taking photos and recording videos, then you don't need to worry about it.

This is my situation, it buzzes when tilting to the right...

It is a known issue :/

haven't seen this - I have a similar issue, while for me the buzzing induces jello and get's worse when the phantom is tilt backwards - goes away when phantom is tilt forwards. jello does not happen when gimbal looks straight down

Unfortunately mine buzzes in normal position as well - so I have heavy jello when hovering (none when flying forward)

Hi David,

Please try the following as it appears to have worked for me to eliminate the howling and random horizontal gimbal movements:

From the DJI Assistant:
1) Restore aircraft to factory settings.
2) Install the latest firmware from .304.

Recalibrate the Aircraft and Controller:
    a) Calibrate the IMUs
    b) Calibrate the compass
    c) Calibrate the RC (need to disconnect the RC from the aircraft)
    d) Reconnect the RC to the aircraft
    e) Calibrate the gimbal

Please report back if this eliminated the howling and any random movements in the gimbal.

Man u guys are wayyyy to anal....if it records video, stabilizes and takes pictures whats the fuss??? Of course the gimbal is going to make noise its brushless motors and electronics in sync

gambino - The actual problem is not the sound, but the sound is made by / induces hard vibrations and those vibrations can be seen in footage by heavy jello - this footage is then unusable, yuo can even see the gimbal shaking in some of the videos

DGBara - I already tried to downgrade to the oldest available firmware (and do all the calibs) - will also try with a complete factory reset if it solves my issue (I hope so)

Just did a factory reset, gimbal buzzing still there
update to latest firmware - buzzing stays
after the imu calibration the buzzing was less (maybe because the gimbal was moved)
RC cali
gimbal calibration now does not longer stay so long with 6% go to 12% and back to 6% again - gimbal calib no fail
go for fly - jello still there, after landing gimbal is only slightly buzzing, but as seen in footage it is still inducing jello. more an backtilt, less on forwardtilt (in footage seen at the end = braking, middle = slow forward, beginning = hover) - reproducable on ground when tilting drone by hand



maybe IMU issue? maybe gimbal issue?

I have the same issue with mince.  It is annoying and asking to have my Quad replaced.  Look at my video it is crazy noise.

I purchased a p4p at best buy 2 weeks ago had the same issue I returned it 4 times for a new one and every single unit had the same problem today I went back and ask for a refund of my money don't know what's going on ...
