Just purchased a Mavic 2 Zoom yesterday.  Updated all firmwares, read all manuals, and on my first test flight I am getting "Gimbal Overload" error.

Confirmed the gimbal clamp/cover is removed properly.  Tried powering down drone, controller, app, then restarting all in reverse order (app first, controller, drone).  Tried doing a gimbal calibration and it gets stuck bouncing between 80-89%.

Suggestions on how to get this fixed immediately?  Thank you.

Did you check to ensure that any thin plastic membrane/tape has been removed from the gimbal area. Sometimes only part of it peels off.

Yes all plastic tape and packaging is removed.  Gimbal cover removed.

Hi there, sorry for the inconvenience. I have checked your ticket number, to know that you have exchanged for a new unit which is working fine, really glad to know that. Happy flying!
