I've had my Ronis S for a few weeks. It was working fine until a couple of days ago. When panning or tilting the gimbal will not return to center it stays a couple of point off. Balance test is fine, I've recalibrated, restored fine tuned and nothing works. Help!!

Dear markt99. Have a look at this thread https://forum.dji.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=163729
There are A LOT of people with the same issue BUT therte is a way that DJI "takes care" of it.
1. They ask for video and screenshots of your RONIN S.
2. Will ask you to reset the "Joint Angle" of the motors
3. Will explain you the logic behind this behavior of the gimbal.
4. Go quiet.
As you you see I never mentioned even in one of the points that the issue is fixed... I've been asking for over 3 months now to fix this issue and NOTHING happened. Since then a lot of people joined with the same issue and DJI still fails to admit that they seriously screwed up with RONIN S "logic". I guess they are too busy with Osmo Pocket launch...

Did it happen with you right out of the box or after some use ? Mine was fine at first. I will be very unhappy if this can't be fixed. It makes it unusable except for very simple shots.

This is how mine behaves and as far as I know always has, surly all it need is a button "return to centre", as said by others, when you turn the gimbal towards the subject you expect the camera to end up back in the centre (where it started) regardless of the deadband setting no? I don't mind how it is for what I shoot right now but its annoying to say the least! Rather than turning your hand back to a normal forward facing posture you always have to take great care watching the monitor/back of camera to be sure you have ended up facing forwards or the Ronin will just stop short of facing forwards... :S Quite strange when you think about it.
DJI, please add an option so the Ronin centeres it self after its moved?

Something is wrong with these Ronins. Until four days ago my Ronin S was returning to center beautifully and was a joy to use. Something changed I don't know what. I did upgrade the firmware in the last few days maybe that's a factor. All I know is it was working perfectly and now it won't return to center. It didn't get knocked or dropped all of a sudden it just started to exhibit this behavior. If they were all like this they wouldn't sell a single one.

I think I just found an actual solution! In the smooth track pan menu put the sensitivity to 100 in the custom mode,  put deadband to 0 and  speed to 100.  Repeat for tilt. Seems to do the trick.Let me know if this works for anyone else

I have to say, mine is working perfectly now. Clearly we have different issues.
