I purchased a second Phantom 3 SE and have an issue with the gimble wandering left and right as if it was searching back and forth. Am I likly looking at a gimble problem or is it software or something else. I will attempt to attach a short video. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I'm sorry for the inconvenience. May i know if the firmware is updated? Did you try to calibrate the gimbal? Please follow this video tutorial :

Thank you for responding. My firmware version is 1.9.10 and yes I just repeated the auto gimbal calibration again with no change. It has a steady approximately .5 of a second 5 to 10 degree left and right rotation.

Could not directly upload but sent it to youtube and the link is here.

Also read the TF micro when trying to upgrade the firmware and the following came up.
====== 2014.01.01 00:00:12 remo-con disconnect======
[00012211]Packet: P3C_FW_V01.09.0200.bin [00012308]
[00018356]Result: Abort.
The firmware on the SD card is identical to or older than the current firmware on the aircraft.

Have you tried to reformat the SD card?

I am following this one too.  Had something similar, but when my SD card got corrupted I replace.  Then had to do some upgrades, and ended up with a normal working bird.

Hey- I am tuned in and would be interested in anything you have to share.

I reformatted and attempted to install again and it aborted saying that it was already installed. I am probably way off base but I am now installing a downgrade to 1.08.10 on the chance that it might help. In your opinion does this problem appear to be a software (firmware) issue?

Just an update to inform that it still is wandering from side to side with the 1.08.10 firmware installed. I was hoping against hope on this working. I would welcome any input from anyone at this point.

Out of frustration...I did a complete format on the TF firmware card and fired it up again. This time it wanted me to upgrade from the 1.08.10 firmware to the 1.9.10 and I let it do it's thing. Camera is still twitching side to side and I am beginning to think it might have Parkensons Sorry...that is as close as I can come to humor. Surely I am not the only one out there with this situation?

Sorry- I am not ready to go to that expense yet and I have to think that I can't be the only one out here with the problem. Thank you in advance to anyone that can contribute.
