Hello,

Can anyone help me out? I’m in Iceland and on 2 occasions my gimbal started wobbling during the flight.

Is it possible that a wind gust can hurt the camera gimbal?

The first time it worked with a reset. But this time it won’t work. The gimbal won’t calibrate when the Mavic Pro is launched...

I’ve checked my UAV forecast and the wind is okay to fly, but time to time you get a gust out of no where.

How can I do a hard reset for the gimbal? Auto calibration won’t even run...thanks for getting back at me with any kind of help to debug.


Same problem occurred twice. First time it fixed by itself but now the second time.

Is there any filter on it? Have you used reset camera in settings?

Check the gimbal rubber mounts are attached and the plate is located under the tab .

I will try reset now. I removed the filter but it didn’t work earlier.

What’s the plate you’re talking about? I have to make sure it’s attached?

Nope the reset camera settings didn’t work :/ it gets stuck like this when it’s off and points upwards or downwards when it’s on. It does the bogus calibration up down but not left right when it’s turned on. I try to do gimbal auto calibration and it’s stuck at 5%.

1. Restarting
2. Normal
*restarts, does 2 movements and blocks.
3. Gimbal obstructed message

Thanks DJI for the repair under warranty. Everything went really well and took 4 weeks overall process. I found the shipment really long, 10+ business days. IF not the repair was really quick and shipped out rapidly.

I am wondering if i should get the DJI care refresh for the mavic pro...It really sucked having the drone away for 1 entire month. Is it worth investing?

It guys can anybody help me out I took my drone out when it was windy one time and all of a sudden the Gimble was going crazy going up-and-down by itself without me  Controlling it I lost all connection to the Gimble it was so hard to even fly at home because the gamble kept going up-and-down on its Own. Moving forward I brought it back down checked the Gimble put it backup and it worked good,but then a couple days later when it wasn't windy at all I was having that issue again can anybody help me so I can fix this issue?where you lose all control to the gimble where you can't move it at all its Very frustrating because I did nothing to cause this issue Like I said I took it out on a pretty windy day once I was having the issue I brought it back home and to this day cant ever put it up and it fly without any issue.
