Received on Friday, had a few flights but tried to start on Sunday and Gimbal constantly warning of error 40002 saying is stuck, check that it can move freely etc.

When powering on the Gimbal appears to move fine and no resistence. When trying to calibrate the app stays at 10% and if do manual it will not change at all.

Tried firmware refresh, different battery, different device etc but no luck so Gimbal unusable at the moment.

Lol do you mean have I removed the Gimbal Protector?? If you mean the plast clip when it first arrived then yep.

Had 3 or 4 flights all good prior to the issue occuring.

Thanks.

Hi tbgame, we apologize for the trouble with the gimbal. If there is no luck after refreshing the firmware and calibrating, please export the logs via DJI Assistant 2 for Mavic (https://dji.com/mavic-mini/downloads) and upload to Dropbox or Google Drive, then post the link here and we also need the serial number of the drone as well, we will help to analyze. Thank you in advance.

Has this been resolved yet? I'm getting exact same error - half dozen flights completed successfully, then persistent error.

Yep I've had the same experience as everyone else posting, fine for 5 or 6 flights then Gimbal just will not work. Have reached out to DJI on every platform for support but no answer as yet so not sure if is going to be a Software/Firmware fix or is a Hardware issue.

Was just starting to really enjoy it only for this issue to occur!

Thank you so much for your assistance to export the logs, we have already forwarded to our engineers for analysis.
Besides, we also need a short screen recording of the error and may we verify your flight environment? Was it windy and is the gimbal stuck with sand?

Video above of when is first powered on. Flights were not in windy area or sandy. No visual sand or debris on the Gimbal itself.

To add to frustration, decided to test it out again this afternoon on the off chance that something had been udpated. First attempt and the Gimbal works perfectly, no errors and super stable footage. Turn off and on, back to same old error and now wont work again.

the calibration is locked on 10% ... i think that new firmware conflicted with gimbal

for me solved: when you turn on the mini wait for the ignition to finish and push the camera up slightly. automatically recalibrates in 1 second and leaves the error.

Same as above. I've managed to get it to work if you turn on, leave for a few seconds then push on the camera/gimble to almost get it to fight against you then it will correct itself and work perfectly (until it turns off and on again)

Not ideal as I'm sure the Gimble is not meant to be man handled like that but just shows it will work. Hopefully a software fix.

It probably is software related but I have been having a good experience, 55 flights, 12.8 miles, and 2.93 hours.

It is a mechanical issue. You need to gently(!!!) pull the gimbal forward. You get a “click” sound as it pops out from whatever locked position it was. I am not kidding. This will most probably make me return this whole thing tomorrow.

Read my comment above. I had the same issue. It’s mechanical. The gimbal is pushed into the body of the craft and cannot turn clockwise because it hits the plastic. You literally need to pull it out.

Had the exact same issue. Seems to be firmware.
Everything moves properly, "intermittent" etc...

What worked for me, redownloaded app, wiped and re-installes firmware, then made absolute sure that the app starts first, then plug in to controller, turn on controller, then start drone. Works every time.
Seems to me that starting up in any other way causes the drone to act funny. Either the app/ controller playing catch up and messing it up, or the phone/controller are correcting the problem as it starts.
Hope this works for at least one of you.

Well. That was completely coincidental. Stopped working again.

Mine is due to be sent back for repair, but I am able to get it working everytime within 30 seconds or so by fighting with the Gimble - once it pushes back a few times it will just start working fine.

I just got this same error today.
I noticed in the calibration that I can hear the motors, very quiet but it sounds, I guess this is normal since the gimbal is made out of r motors.
However when it moves from left to right it does a squeaking sound, subtle but is there. Today it prompt me with gimbal stuck, even do is fine, did the calibration and everything works again, but this has me thinking if I have a faulty unit or is software related...

I just got mine today. I charged up the batteries, updated firmware, and am receiving this error right off the bat. Never made a flight. I verified that the gimbal rotates freely along all 3 axis. Calibration will not proceed past 10%. Did anyone hear anything back from DJI? This is really unacceptable.

I´m hoping they are aware, and not saying anything cause it may be fixable with FW update.
Hoping here... I may be completely wrong lol

Add me to the +1 on this issue.  Just started today.  I've had about a dozen flights with no problems.  Even a few flights with firmware 1.00.0300 but today, the gimbal is doing what all of yours is doing.  And no amount of manually moving it is fixing it.  It does a few tilt movements after I move it but the display still shows "Gimbal stuck".  Damnit.  I was hoping DJI had gotten better since my experience with the Phantom.
