Hey guys, was wondering if this is a bug, and I can iron it out with a sensor refresh? or is it more serious? It seemed to be righting itself, but I put in the manual command to tilt and thats where you see the twictch back to level. Also, I experinced random bouts of "weak signal transmission" even though I was only 20 meters away? Could it be random interference? Sorry for all the questions... Just random unusual things I encountered today.

Hello Dronin Adventur, does this issue happen everywhere? And as for the transmission issue, hope this video helps:

I'm having the same issue with mine. I didn't start having the issue until about 2 weeks ago. I'm not sure what the issue is; I've already done IMU/Gimble/compass calibrations. It's really bad now that I'm flying it over the ocean

Yea mine just recently started as well. I had probably flown it 30 times before with little issue but the last two flights I had the gimbal issue as well as the intermittent transmission feed drops.

Perfect this is what was needed. Ill try to keep these factors in mind, and see if it reduces my issues. My previous flight at a park had one 1 second bout, but while I was at clearwater beach my first battery had no issue, and then the second it happened several times.

As for the gimbal issue in your video, I've discussed this with our developer.It is possibly something related to the interference on the compass which has some effect on the flight control and the gimbal. But when the interference disappeared, things came back to normal as you can see in the video.If this issue keeps coming up frequently in any situation, feel free to feedback.

Hello, it would be better if you can record a video by the following steps and then post a youtube link here.

1. Put your drone on a  horizontal surface. Then make a screenshot of the camera view and attitude indicator

2.Record a short video of the gimbal powering up. Place both, your camera and the drone on a flat horizontal surface and record the video from the gimbal's left or right side.



Note: Do not hold the camera in hands when recording this video, make sure camera is placed steady on a surface.

Sometimes when I turn my p4 on and it's connected to the tx the gimbal is very slowly tilting on its own, I have to reboot it all and then it sits dead straight

Is it always tilted or randomly?

Mine has done the exact same thing. My theory is it starts up, and realizes its currently not level and goes to correct itself. I can see it while in flight too. Usually if i recalibrate the gimbal on a perfectly level surface, it seems to lessen, and in some cases remove, the issue. However I usually do it almsot every new battery which is bothersome. Recently I've reverted to the manual input to adjust the roll, and I've ben seeing new issues arise.

No just random as the camera holder comes off.....I have contacted DJI support who have asked for the drone to be returned to them for repair or replacement. Currently boxed up waiting to be sent away.

Thank you very much for looking at this though your help is appreciated
