I read on here that there is possibly a Beta firmware to correct a bad formware update that affected my gimbal. After the update when you tun on the aircraft and the gimbal attempts to self center, it sounds like the gears are grinding, this can't be good. You can tap the gimbal and it will stop but this still is not normal.
Can someone in admin please respond to this and provide me with a link and instructions to a firmware update to correct this problem please?


It is the Phantom 3 Advanced

Sorry mate, I can really feel your upset, and I know it is frustrating, but after confirming, it is not a firmware issue but the hardware.

So,... I'm going to have to pay to ship this thing back to China? When none of these issues occurred until after a firmware update.

I, for the life of me, can't fathom why I can't be provided with a firmware fix like so many others have been granted and had the Chatter problem fixed.

You have no idea how irritated this makes me. How are they, the Engineers, going to say there is a Gimbal Yaw problem from watching the video. The thing is doing exactly what Numerous others were doing because of a bad firmware and they were provided a Beta firmware that fixed the problem.

Unbelievable!

Hi Thor,

It has been quit a while now. How do I find out if any progress has been made? I would really like to get this issue resolved. I don't know why it has to be such an issue just to get a firmware update......
