    Camera system resets mid-flight...?

    It arrived today almost a month after sending it in. The aircraft is definitely different and sure seems new. All the stickers and lens tape was on it plus I had to link it with the old controller. And the glitch is gone! At least for the first 30 minutes of flight time. I did see the video...

    Camera system resets mid-flight...?

    Small update on my Mavic. The repair was "done" 8 days ago and they are shipping today. Why the delay? Maybe they actually tested it thoroughly like I asked and discovered that just a gimbal/camera replacement did not work. I'll probably never find out the details but the aircraft serial number...

    Camera system resets mid-flight...?

    I did two flights one day testing the issue. One 12 minutes recording with multiple resets. I started recording immediately after each reset. On the next battery I few about 16 minutes and took a bunch (10+) of photos. No recording and not a single reset. Recording is definitely a factor for me...

    Video recording stops?

    I don't recall what the recording button displays. The live feed does freeze for a few seconds and then comes back in time to show the gimbal slewing around. One time it happened while in POI flight and the cached video showed the video freeze but the drone was still flying its circle. This...

    Gimbal reset in flight

    Good luck. For me, they said the gimbal/camera replacement was covered under warranty so that is good. But I did not get any other feedback on what they might have found. I hope the replacement fixes it and I did ask them to do a test flight/record after. I'm not expecting much though. Will post...

    Camera system resets mid-flight...?

    Well, at least the repair is free. Unfortunately (but not surprisingly) they have not provided any additional information about the "damage" to the drone. Just replacing the gimbal and camera. I did ask them to reproduce before and then verify issue gone after, but have not heard back yet.

    Camera system resets mid-flight...?

    The video split may be related, but can't be the only issue. I see gimbal resets after 20 seconds sometimes. My longest video was a little over 9 minutes so that one time was probably invoked by the 4GB limit, but not the other 200 (50 flights, about 4 resets per flight...) times. Plus, I...

    Gimbal reset in flight

    Me too. Still glitched after a couple minutes of recording. It is going to be in their shop tomorrow. Hope to hear good things soon like "thanks for providing a unit that reproduces the error so readily! With your help we have found the root cause and will be deploying the firmware fix in a...

    Camera system resets mid-flight...?

    I'm with you @HSK. Tried everything to resolve but finally gave in and sent it back. Arrives in their shop tomorrow. I'm going to add this and the other threads I'm on to the case and insist that they reproduce the error before fixing and test fly/record after "fixing" since it is so easy to...

    Gimbal reset in flight

    Oh lovely. I just sent mine back and your experience fills me with confidence in the outcome. Maybe I should update my case with a reference to this thread. Maybe they will look a little harder. I also took pics of my Mavic before boxing it up. It was in perfect shape. If it comes back worse...

    Gimbal reset in flight

    Maybe they meant to reset the camera settings? That's the only reset camera option I've seen in the app. I'm disconnected now of course, so maybe there is another button available when connected?

    Gimbal reset in flight

    It is a cool place just behind my parent's house. It is an old quarry lake that is split in two by a walking path. In the summer one side is a bright green and the other is deep blue. Just outside Winnipeg.

    Gimbal reset in flight

    Yeah. It was really annoying. I did an online chat with support and they suggested refreshing firmware (only thru Assistant since updating in Go App was somehow different) to latest, calibrate IMU and then gimbal. It did not work of course. So I sent it back. Next day, support finally...

    Does your Mavic have any of these issues?

    Mine was manufactured 2017-03-07. Has #4 issues big time.

    Does your Mavic have any of these issues?

    Number 4 on the issues list. Gimbal resets during flight. Every flight. Several times. Going to send it back next week since nothing has worked to fix it. So. Much. 4.
