I've searched this forums, google, youtube and nothing has helped. I called DJI. Nothing. Camera is well balanced. Under max payload. All motors green.
Auto tuned every which way.


I'm trying to do the most basic thing in the world: film a driver from the passenger seat of the car. But whenever we go around a turn, the RS 3 Pro just drifts off like crazy. Either the RS 3 Pro is following the compass direction or it's the torque/g forces of the car turning. It will point at my face, out the front windshield, all the way over to the passenger window. Just unusably, embarrassingly bad. I don't know if I've ever been this embarrassed by a piece of film tech in my life.

Things I've tried:

1 - Gimbal Lock ... does nothing
2 - FPV mode > Custom > turn off all motors ... does nothing
3 - reduce/increase tension/strength in the pan motor... might help a little?
4 - Joint Angle reset/calibration ... does nothing

I've seen a few posts on here asking the same question with no replies. Please help us. Brand new RS 3 Pro bought for this shoot ... so maybe I got a bad one?

thanks!

This is worring. Following.

Hi, there. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.  
We would like to know the following details:
1. What model of lens and camera you are using?
2. And which follow mode does the gimbal use to shoot?
3. What is the firmware version information of the gimbal?
And may we know your phone number so that we can check the details as well, you can send us via PM.

Thank you for your support in advance.

I was never able to solve this and haven't used the gimbal in the car since, but I might need to again soon. Has anyone encountered this or fixed it? I was using an FX6 with an anamorphic lens. I was probably close to the weight limit. I tried every follow mode. I was using the most up to date firmware when I posted that message last year.

Hey epicimages, thanks so much and glad to know I'm not the only one. Would love to have a fix for this so let me know how it goes. I didn't know this adapter existed.

hi, yes it seemed to work flawlessly.
That said i got a new rig which allowed for more shock absorption in lateral axis.

Heres some BTS from the day.

this additional tool helps to fix the horizon drift issue mainly

Looks good going around those turns! Thanks for sharing this
