I have a company DJI PRO 4 which has worked great for the last 4 months. I use it to take jobsite photos once a week. Last week it was windy when I took it up and the flight was very rocky, at the time I assumed it was because of the wind, however it persisted when I tried flying it indoors. I tried again the next day in lower wind and it worked good enough to get the pictures but not great. Today I have almost no wind, but the drone does not fly as steady as it once did, I fear it may just tip over and fall out of the sky. The signal strength also seems weaker (although it could be my imagination). If I look at the status screen I see a red note that flashes gimbal motor overload, followed by a green Normal. These each flash for about a second before being replaced by the other. I did recently download a software update for my phone which I use to control the drone. I contacted Tech Support chat, but the rep just told me to ship it off to the DJI warehouse and let them look at it for 2-3 weeks. Its possible that will be necessary, but I don’t want to be without my drone for a month and I would like to try the basic steps first, so I am posting the problem here to see if anyone has a suggestion I can try. Problem: Unsteady flight Possible causes: Wind Recent Software update Hardware problem with gimbal Setting up a 2nd device to use the drone Something else I would at least like to reset the settings to how they were when I unboxed it to see if that will work. This is especially true of anything that governs the gimbal.
Anyone have any advice?
