Hi guys ... I have experienced gimbal stuttering in my last recordings. I used an OTG adapter (direct cable link between phone and RC) which caused the gimbal to stop every other second or so for a brief moment, destroying the smooth movement. When I use a Wifi connection (no OTG cable), the stuttering is less, but it still occurs. Have you ever experienced this?

Hello there. We apologize for the inconvenience. Have you tried to refresh the firmware of the aircraft using DJI Assistant 2?

Thank you for your speedy reply. I did that today, after filming, yes. But not via the assistant, that only asks me to connect an Inspire 2. Did it via Wifi.

8. Super slow. But every second it stops.

That is what I would check:
Set it a bit less slow and try again.
As you can do that on the office desk,  is it just in the air or also indoors?

I have read your entire issue and came back to this comment for a reply.
It seems to me you do have a mechanical issue.
But try that firmware refresh through DJI Assistant 2 before opening a service request.

DJI Assistant 2 always shows Inspire 2 under the connect example circle because that has special instructions to connect.

Once you physically connect the Spark and turn it on, you will see a Spark symbol ready to connect by clicking the symbol.

Hi, thanks for the response, I would like to ask what SD card are you using? I would recommend downloading the DJI Assistant 2 to your computer and restore factory defaults then refresh the firmware to see if there will be any changes. Please see the link below.
