    Mavic 3 Pro gimbal drift

    Thanks again for your feedback - it's my first time shooting with a 7x tele on a drone. I agree my expectations were unrealistic. I will be more mindful of the limitations going forward. I appreciate you and everyone else who offered insights!

    Whatcom County, WA

    Welcome to the Forum. I lived in Bellingham for 8 years way back in the 90s (yes, I'm old) there's so many great places to film in Whatcom County - I look forward to seeing what you capture!

    Thanks again for your reply. I have updated the video - I added in a static magenta bar at the horizon. At the beginning of the video, the gimbal pitches down, then slowly returns to its default position. The bouncing of the gimbal is more evident when looking at the buildings relative to the...

    Thanks for your reply - I'm flying backwards. Are you able to see what I'm referring to? Thanks!

    Mavic 3 Pro gimbal drift

    Thanks for your reply - the entire frame is bouncing up and down. It is very obvious if you view the video at full screen. Also, the gimbal is pitching up and down slightly without controller input. let me know if you can see it when you view the video full screen (on a computer monitor) Thanks!

    Mavic 3 Pro gimbal drift

    I just received my Mavic 3 Pro and have been experimenting with the zoom lenses. I'm getting noticeable vertical (pitch) gimbal drift and vibrations when shooting with the 3X and 7X lenses. Anyone else experiencing this? The gimbal pitches and bounces noticeably in the vertical plane. Here's a...
