I have started noticing the gimbal is slowly drifting left or right when it should be holding still on a tripod. I will be setting up for a vertical pan and it slowly rotates left. Kind of annoying.

Hi, I was just about to create a thread about the exact same thing. Basically I’m setting up Osmo 3 on its tripod, placing it on the ground and the image will be slowly panning left or right. Starting a timelapse causes the movement to stop but starting a video seems not to. It’s really annoying as it’s not allowing me to properly frame my shot.

I just bought a Mobile 3 last week, and mine also does this. It's bad enought that I'm considering returning it. It's really annoying. I thought maybe my hand was moving slightly, causing it to rotate but it definitely moves by itself. I've tried calibrating it and rebalancing it; neither of which help.

Hi Natalia, thanks. So this is not normal behavior I take it. Seems like many people are hitting this issue, I was hoping it's maybe just a firmware issue. I'll get in touch with the support and see what they say

So i just tested mine and it stops rotating after about 40 seconds. It’s really noticeable when its first moved to a new spot or adjusted.

hi there!
Noticed the same thing , on tripod whether its own or other tripod the DJI osmo 3 starts rotating aleatory. Sometimes it rotates even if I move fast and press the record button, so it starts "looking" around... I really can't film on  any tripod. Is there anything to be done?

I’ve had my Osmo 3 mobile for about two months and it rotates to the right.  If on a tripod, I need to keep going back to the gimbal and moving it back with the joy stick.  Another problem I’m recently having now is that no mater which mode I select, horizontal, tilt and pan are all locked.  I have to “follow” hand movements with the joy stick.  I realize that nothing is perfect, but it’s becoming unusable.  Please let me know if there are any fixes.  I’m about ready to give up and throw it in the garbage can.

Hi! Bought my Osmo 3 in last July, it worked well til March when I noticed that it starts to drift right. The gimbal doesn't hold still.
Can't really use it since, a bit annoying.
Any solution?
