I damaged the camera of my spark and replaced it with a new camera unit.

It works again, video image is transmited and gimbal seems to work - but not correctly. The camera is diagonal in resting position and slightly pitched downwards.

When using the “Adjust Gimbal” feature in the app, i have to adjust Roll all the way up to +10 and pitch to -10 to improve the situation a bit, but it’s not enough (the app doesn’t allow to correct for more than 10.0).

Something else is strange - when I turn the drone around Yaw, the gimbal seems to correct Roll of the camera for some reason (it also corrects camera roll however when I change Roll of the drone, which is correct). See the video:

I already calibrated IMU and Compass.

Anyone knows this or a similar problem and what could be done about it? Obviously no more warranty on the drone.

Hi, any error message show in the app? I would recommend you try to flash the firmware first and see if it works.

maybe that's why the gimbal is off.

Check this out, someone else had the same problem, I think he sent it back to DJI for repairs.

Maybe what i will say its impossible to happen, but could it be that the camera was installed upside down? and that could make it behave wrongly
