Ordered the mavic 2 when it was released, updated firmware on both contorller and drone. turn on drone and get "gimbal overload" its like the gimbal gets stuck on the far left or right of the process to stabilize when turining on.

anyone else have this problem?
wont calibrate or reset, cant control it from phone or controller either.

Hi there, thank you for reaching out and we're sincerely sorry for the inconvenience that you have faced. Regarding with that If the gimbal really won't work. Unfortunately what I can only suggest to that is set it into the facility for further checking and have a replacement unit. You can just go to https://www.dji.com/support then select one the support channel.

I have the same problem.  Did you fly yours in wind?

Hi, Sorry for the inconvenience. May I know if you're getting any error on the DJI GO 4 app? Please do not fly your aircraft in a hazardous environment to avoid an incident. Thank you for the support.

DJI needs to secure these Gimbals better because I think they are getting scratched and damaged during shipping, they should just put a piece of foam behind the Gimbal and make the cover out of hard rubber and not hard plastic.

I have the overloaded gimbal message that won't go away.

Received my M2Pro yesterday.  Unpacked per directions including gimbal clamp, charged batteries, and updated firmware. Took it for short, uneventful flight but noticed video titled and gimbal unresponsive, and tilted with overload error and restarting.  Went through all troubleshooting measure with not luck realigning gimbal would stall at 10%.  Frustrating....    RMA'd it today for a replacement.

It's crazy to see that so many people are having the same gimbal overload problem on the M2P, I really hope we get an official response from DJI soon.  I'd recommend a full return until its all sorted, as constantly dealing with DJI CS sounds like a nightmare.

Hi, Sorry for the late response. I would recommend restoring factory defaults and refresh the firmware of your aircraft using the DJI Assistant 2. It's recommended as well to re-calibrate the IMU, compass, and gimbal of your drone upon using the Assistant 2 to see if there will be changes, however, if the error message would be the same result. Please contact our support for further help.
