Brand new purchase. I have not been able to fly since purchase first week of March due to my schedule. Free time now so I started the update both drone and controller + batteries. Prior to the update which was done over weekend I had completed gimbal calibration with no issues or buzz sound. All this started after the updates. Anyone else experiencing this? I have tried rebooting several times with breaks in between, repeat gimbal calibration and I get the loud buzz sound and freeze at 50%. Hopefully link below works for clip.

UPDATE: Chatted with DJI support last night and was recommended i reset drone via assistance app on PC, along with controller. Completed reset for both drone and controller. Installed latest firmware and tried to calibrate gimbal, same buzz sound. I will add that i can slightly touch the gimbal with tip of finger and the buzz sound goes away. Almost as if there are parts that are loose causing the vibration/buzz sound. DJI said if issue was still there after resetting drone i would have to send to DJI. My drone has not even seen the daylight outside and I'm having this issue. If anyone has had this issue please share your fix/outcome. I read in prev posts that downgrading firmware might help but i don't think that is a solution for me since it appears to be a gimbal/motor issue. Again, i can touch the gimbal and the buzz sound stops.

I had that very same issue after performing the update to A/C and controller. I found out after 3 days of vacation recording.  The video is unacceptable.  Inside the house, I removed props, to find what might set the gimbal to twitch and vibrate, then noticed the noise you described.  I found the underbody of the drone near the gimbal gets quite hot.  Trying to calibrate the gimbal like you, resulted in freeze at 50%.  I downgraded the A/C firmware to a previous version, and all seems well.  Further testing is underway.

Yes same here, the body of the gimbal under drone gets hot when the buzz sound is present.. What firmware did you downgrade to? And did you have to downgrade controller? I'm not even sure if that's possible? I appreciate your input here.

I don't have that release number handy right now, but it was the previous one installed.  I've only had my A/C for about a month, so it was not updated much.  I left the controller with the latest update, it too has the integral screen built in. P4 Pro +.

I will give that a try tonight before I consider shipping to dji center in CA. I will also try to go back to store I purchased for swap which I doubt that will happen.

So from your experience and downgrade to previous drone firmware it seems this is a firmware issue? I also read the firmware info and it does mention improvements to the gimbal which make me wonder if this is the reason.  

I asked DJI is this was a known issue (there are videos online YouTube) with this same issue. Guy who posted the video said DJI replaced his unit.  Picture attached is the firmware with issue if it is related. I will downgrade tonight and report back.

I got the same buzz after the update as well the unit flies and recordes very well though but

Thank you for your feedback. But what....? Your sentence is cut off.

I have the same issue, calibration stuck at 50%, loud buzz, horizon tilting in mid flight... Any lights on solving this?

Hi all, this is a known issue about the gimbal noise and our engineers are working on it. And now we would like to release a beta firmware to your DJI account to update for this case. Could you leave me your account address? Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you in advance.

Hi ! I have the exactly same problem : buzz sound, video trembling, and gimbal calibration freeze at 50%. can I have the beta update please ? my email adress is : adrillex@gmail.com

I am having the same issue, buzz sound and gimbal calibration freeze at 50%, video is still smooth though.
Has anyone received this beta update yet? Did it help?

Finally managed to calibrate the gimbal, I took the battery out, recharged it together with the remote to 100%, switched everything on, started calibration and it went through just fine...

Hi DJI Thor,

My issues with the new firmware on the P4P Pro are similar

• During firmware (01.04.0602) upgrade the gimbal start getting noisy
• Noisy gimbal after firmware upgrade and restarting the copter
• Gimbal is moving during this noice horizontal (dancing from left to right)
• Gimbal support get hot
• Calibration of the Gimbal after Firmware upgrade via App stopped by 50%
• Downgrade to a other Software is not possible, as it is not available
  

What did I do so far

• Deinstallation of the existing Firmware by DJI Assistant 2. Hopefully it was a real de-installation .... I do not think so, because the noise of the gimbal starts directly after restarting the copter
• Installing the new software via WLAN, 3-4 times, installing was successfully 100%
• Installing the new software via Assistance 2 via MAC PRO, 3-4 times, installing was successfully 100%
  

Installed Software

• Copter firmware: 01.04.0602
• Controller software: 01.04.01.00
• Databases of copter and App: 01.00.01.04
• App: 4.1.3
  

I am interested to get the beta for testing to oo_anka @ icloud.com

Thanks in advance

DJI Thor,

I would also like the beta for Phantom 4 pro. I have the same issue. The gimbal makes noise after startup and gets hot. Gimbal calibration fails at 50%. When the drone is turned on and just sitting there, you can hear the noise and the picture on the controller shakes noticeably. When I take videos, you can see the camera shaking from side to side a small amount. and yes I have tried different camera settings and shutter speed and know it is the firmware that is the issue. Please send me the beta! User account is keefe_neise@yahoo.com Thank you!

Looking forward for the beta update. Thanks in advanced.

I have the EXACT issue going on... this is my first drone and I'm sooo paranoid that it's going to mess up and drop out of the sky. The buzzing  sound stops as soon as I touch it and it gets so hot. Flys fine but I just don't get why it won't calibrate. Debating whether I should return it to Best Buy or if this is something that can be fixed with the beta. Any chance anyone has received it and it fixed the issue? My email is Got1Fishing@gmail.com. Please send my way DJI.

Hi all, all the email addresses provided above had pushed the related beta firmware, please log into your DJI account, connect it to your drone and RC and make sure the internet is available to get the release message.
Besides, please kindly click the "Reply" button if you need to reply me so that I can get the reminder and can deal with it asap.

HI DJI Thor,
thanks for response. I looked in with my DJI Account - which is different to the e-mail account in my thread.
Unfortunately I was not able to find the software in the APP / Assistance 2 (neither for the RC nor for the copter) for downloading. Please check.

Hi thor, thank you very much for your help.
The first thing I did was to reset the AC to the factory settings, then install the previous version Beta (VO1.03.0510), then connect the RC but I do not see any version, anyway I turned on the AC and the RC and the buzz of Gimbal Disappeared completely and finally I could do the Gimbal self-calibration without problem!
But my question is, do not I need the previous version of RC too? Or just reset it?

Thanks for the feedback. If the RC connects stably to the drone, you don't need the previous version of it. So now your drone is back to normal right? If so, should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us, we’d love to help.

I connected my P4P to Assistant 2 yesterday and the beta appeared. I took it out for a flight afterwards and it seemed just fine. The buzzing sound is gone and I was able to calibrate!!!!

Hello DJI Thor

Ive got a similar problem....I cannot control the up/down function of the gimbal with my RC. On startup, the gimbal will shake a little and then stick in the upward position.  Ive tried recalibration of the RC and functions on the copter. I no longer have the option of downgrading my firmware on DJIA2, and have tried reinstalling the current version multiple times. Maybe the beta will help me out...willing to try.

Hi DJI Thor,
Thanks for clarification - account works - got the the beta.
Installation of the beta was done via Assistance 2.
Gimbal noise disappeared.  
Calibration of Gimbal works.  
No Gimbal noise after testing of 60 min

Only one point I recognized:
Copter was off and cooled done for IMU calibration to approx. 15°C.
Than I did a IMU Calibration after Firmware update - as shown on the instructions (Gimbal was facing to me).

Figure 1 of IMU-Calibration, the coper has to be tilt over to the left side - Gimbal stays nearly horizontal to the table and the noise starts again.
Then I had to tilt over the copter to the right side - Gimbal was in parallel to the copter. Gimbal gives no noise.
Did this now 3 times with the same result.
Two times with APP 4.1.3, one times with the APP 4.1.4.

Thanks for a working beta and thanks for a comment.
