Thanks for the volume warning...
I notice your gimbal is not positioned as it should be after warm-up, does it ever initialize correctly?

The indicator doesn't look like any of these..

Camera LED Indicator                       Camera status
Green Fast Blink (0.2s off, 0.1s on )  System is warming up.
Green Blink Once  (0.5s off, 0.4s on ) Taking a single picture.
Green Blink 3 Times (0.3s off, 0.1s on ) Taking 3 or 5 photos per shot.
Slow Red Blink (1.6s on, 0.8s off ) Recording.
Fast Red Blink (0.5s off, 0.2s on ) SD card error.
Double Red Blink (0.1s on, 0.1s off, 0.1s on, 0.1s off) Overheated Camera
Solid Red  System error.
Green and Red Blink (0.8s green on, 0.8s red on) Firmware Upgrading

( sorry about the plagerisim DJI )

Have you done a cold IMU calibration, followed by a Gimbal calibration?
Please do so, if you have not, and perhaps it will correct the glitche too.

Can you post a video of it powering up?
There's an error and your gimbal should not be limp.

Hello dhillssr, I'd suggest you to replug these 2 cables since your camera doesn't hold its position after powered on. 6pin和8pin线.JPG

Well I purchased a p3 4k. The cost to get a remote and camera plus shipping would have been the same. I will repair my pro at a later date.

What should I do in order to use the two batteries I had with my pro. Should I perform a software update on the batteries or something?

Did you misunderstand DJI-Paladin's instruction?  Unplug and replug the two connectors shown to make sure they are properly seated and all connections are made.

If the there isn't a battery upgrade message in Aircraft status, you don't need to do a firmware update for your battery.

Yes I understood, it still didn't remedy the issue. for whatever reason, the remote can't view what the camera sees. But it can take pictures and control the gimbal movement.

HELP!  my gimbal is doing the exact same thing!!! Does not initialize, just blinks exactly like the video above. Background - I bought this Ph3 ADV used after the owner crashed it - the yaw arm was broken and the roll arm was bent -- I put a new cable and new arms on - but NOTHING on start up - camera never moves -- I did check the two gray cables and they seem to seat properly -- have yet to buy an SD card - so slot is empty - any leads would be very much appreciated!

Good afternoon everyone. I have a problem similar to the one they are commenting on, update my P3Pro to firmware version 1.11.20 and I no longer see the camera. I can turn on motors and move camera but I can not see the image. The status of the gimbal is disconnected. Now try to degrade the firmware to version 1.10.9 (.bin file) + P3X_DEBUG_FW file but the LED only remains blinking green until it turns green red a few times and turns blinking green again. I want to add that the only way I could hear the beeps when trying to degrade was forcing the update by pressing the button to link and turn on the phantom.
I hope to be as clear as possible, and I apologize for the google translator, since my English is low.
I appreciate the help of any of you.
P.S. I live in Argentina
