See photos for the after crash. I was flying it in P mode with active track follow, I had the dot at the bottom of phone screen off to the left which had the drone flying off to my left behind me, the trail approached some trees on my right but curved off to the left away from them and for a split second I thought about stopping and manually re positioning the drone but continued on and the drone straight it flew over my head right into the trees. It made a bunch of noise and fell to the ground upside with the blades still going, since it was upside down I grabbed it and put it on its side and it was still spinning away so I flipped it on it’s back again which finally turned off the props. I brought it back to my phone/controller and the image looked fine so the camera is hopefully ok. Is there anyway to test the gimbal without launching it? Only 1 blade is actually broken but the rest are all chewed up and I only have the 2 spare blades it came with but I really want to clean off the dirt and see if the gimbal is ok. I won’t be trusting AO sensors anymore after this
it appeara the gimbal isnt working anymore:
when i turn on the m2p the gimbal spins around and stuff but eventually stops with it pointing off in some random direction and I'm getting errors in the app like gimbal obstruction and motor overload. Is the gimbal broken? i cleaned out all the dirt with a paint brush before turning it on and nothing i can see appears broken but there's probably a lot of internal parts. camera appears to work.
IMU calibration is 100% successful but gimbal calibration starts at 10% and will not do anything. I felt the sides of the camera that connect to the gimbal and they don't get warm, the one that is like behind the camera gets maybe a little warm but nothing is hot or anything. Is there anything I can do or check without sending in to DJI? I mean I have refresh but I'd hate to spend 120$ and get back a refurb if there is some way to fix the one i have (if it hopefully flies with new props)
