    Lots of threads on this - mine is in repair now for this problem. Most of us with this issue have had to send them back.

    Aircraft Motor Overloaded. Check whether gimbal is obstrcuted

    Been there - tried every trick listed by fellow members and those on YouTube. In the end even DJI just tells you to send it in for repair. I wish there was better news for you, safe travels.

    camera gimbal obstruction restarting (gimbal overloaded) help pls

    I had this issue start yesterday - like you I found prior threads. I tried all of the tricks shown in various YouTube videos. None of that mattered. I'm using my DJI Refresh service and starting the repair process. Very frustrating problem. Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

    Aircraft Motor Overloaded. Check whether gimbal is obstrcuted

    Well today I join the ranks of Aircraft Motor Overload - Check whether gimbal is obstructed. Very frustrating. I baby this thing like crazy. I did a very short, uneventful flight yesterday, put it away like normal and today it is useless. I've read up, watched other members videos, tried all...

    I were in a trouble after 11 min of flight time, when RTH initiated

    Ahhh.....nothing like a little passive aggressive in the morning. I forget folks can get "salty" at times because their sense of humor has lost its GPS connection and flown away as well. Fear not my friend - I'll leave your future posts right where I find them going forward. My sincerest...

    I were in a trouble after 11 min of flight time, when RTH initiated

    I really should have a cup of coffee in the morning before reading these posts. I read your timeline as 11:35PM instead of 11min35sec into flight. I was wondering how it stayed in the air for 4 hours :) Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

    Is there an advanced setting where you can eliminate high wind warnings?

    The warnings are as much for the company as they are for you. You can just imagine the litigation and lawsuits that owners would file if they were not warned of high winds and it cost them their drone. Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

    New Mavic pilot in Jacksonville FL

    Hello! I'm also in Jax (St Johns County actually). I recently went to Paynes Prairie in Gainesville although now I see launching or landing in a state park is forbidden. Next time I will fly in from outside the park entrance :) I'm planning to hit Fort Castillo de San Marco in St Augustine...

    What features would we want in a Mavic 2.0?

    An optional cargo/payload release clasp/claw. I want to go offshore fishing and use my Mavic to take the line well off shore. Release is always the issue. Plenty of current YouTube videos of folks doing it with Phantoms and homemade skid hooks but I want the claw to snap underneath, plug in...

    FAA grants Arlington Police Department permission to fly UAVs

    They may have a need to fly over crowds or fly near first responders? Both of which we are prohibited from doing. Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

    One of my first 4K uploads

    Definitely computer. If I pull the 4K videos down to my wife's MacBook Air the playback is choppy. If I save it to an MacBook Pro l the playback is as fluid as can be. 1080p on her laptop is fine - definitely processing power. Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

    Fly More Bundle

    I wasn't impressed with the flimsy bag that came with my $1300 purchase so I bought this hard case for regular storage. I use the shoulder bag for day trips or on my motorcycle. Otherwise I leave it in this hard case ($39 on Amazon). Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots
