Dear Susan

The problem that you are talking about, is caused because the motor that controls the horizontal movement has a vibration. this vibration causes the self-calibration of the gimbal to stop at 50%. if you reinstall the firmware, it seems to be fixed, but when the equipment is cooled, and you turn on the drone again, this problem appears again. This problem I do not know if it is firmware or hardware, in some units of phantom 4 Pro / Adv According to my tests, this problem currently affects all the firmwares. This vibration appears randomly, and it is the second unit that I sent to RMA for this reason. I would like to know if DJI is going to solve this, to know if I should send my unit back to repair. These vibrations can cause jello effect in the image in certain occasions. I do not know if DJI uses different manufacturers of gimbal for phantom 4 Pro / advance series, because if it were a problem of firmware it would be present in all the units of the market. I would like to know if DJI knows this problem and know the opinion of the engineering team.

Today when the drone is cold the gimbal doesnt vibrate and the calibration did ok, i have it powered up for about 5-10 minutes and it seems to work when its cold.
I going to to some testflights and see if the problem comes back.

Hello, ik have also this problem. Could you send me the beta version fimrware to solve the problem?

Sorry for the late response. May I know which drone do you refer to? For P4P, the issue has been fixed in the firmware update, you may update to the latest version to check.

Hi RedRenan, I'm sorry that there is no beta firmware of gimbal calibration for P4P V2.0 for now. May I have a short video of your operation for better assistance? Thanks so much!

I have two P4P's with gimbal calibration failures. One at 5% and a brand new one, just fired it up Wednesday for shoot on Thursday, that failed at 50% on the very first boot up, so now both drones do not have a working gimbal...NOT a happy camper to say the least. Using Ver 4.3.12 on iPad Pro running iOS 12.1.4. Going to try an older iPad Mini with older iOS and version to see if something changes. Drone has five flights on it including this morning when I got a Gimbal Motor Overload warning with the gimbal facing straight down.
