Wanted to tell everyone I had a problem with my Phantom 3 4K. Once I turned on the drone, controller, and Go app I was not receiving a FPV. The screen also indicated "Gimbal Disconnected". I spent many hours and various emails to and from Support attempting to figure out the problem. I even sent a video and picture to Support. Thier final response twice was to send the drone to them so they could fix the problem.
Since I had recently crashed the drone and had to send it out for repairs at my expense, and had flown very little since, this was not the response I was looking for. I asked if they would pay for shipping and repairs since I felt the problem was a firmware issue. I also did alot of digging online and it appears "Gimbal Disconnected" is a problem that others have fixed through numerous firmware adjustments. Although I have never had any problems related to firmware or updates.
Before I received a reply to this, which I could only anticipate would cost me in the end, I found the problem was in fact the multi wire connection that enters the top of the Gimbal. This white wires connection was raised about 1/16" at most. Although it did not appear loose I pushed it down and the connection was re-established. Hense, problem solved! Sometimes it is the simple things that we miss. Lesson learned. Check the wires if possible first when the Go app tells you something is disconnected!
I would like to comment how efficient the Support team was in working with me to fix the problem. They were very quick to reply to my emails and I felt as though they were right there with me to assist in fixing the problem. I never spoke to support on the phone during this problem but did previously when I had to arrange to ship my drone from Va to LA.
Either on the phone or through emails the Support Team gets a five for thier efforts. Thank you! Love DJI and recommend them to others all the time.
