Are there any diagnostic tests to tell what the hell is going on with my gimbal. I just got it back from the shop after having to replace a motor and 1 week later this.



Any info would be great... I'm afraid im going to have to go through the 4 week support process again... UGH

Apart from the gymnastics, the red status light is saying it is not happy. You could try performing a gimbal auto calibration. If that does not fix it, then the aircraft is going to have to go back to DJI. Sorry.

I'm average 2-3 days of flying per month at this point

Sorry for your gimbal,  Sam.  I'm afraid you'll need to send it back

this time it was at least covered by warranty.  Still sucks to have 3-4 weeks to get it back.

Before sending your bird back i would try flashing back to FW 1.1.9, check, and then back to what ever version you are using now
