Just wanted to share this in case anyone else has this issue.

Im reviewing the Mavic Pro at the moment and after a successful indoor flight (waiting for weather to improve before I can take my first outdoor flight!) I started getting no FPV feed at all. All other functions are fine - can connect and fly, make settings changes to the drone etc - just no FPV feel.

I also got a 'Gimbal Disconnected' error in the status screen.
When trying to reformat the SD card I received an error also - this is with a Lexar 633x 64GB card as well as the original 16GB card.

The way I fixed this (well it hasn't happened since) was to remove the memory card and switch on the drone.
Everything fired up as normal, and FPV feed was active.

I then insert the memory card with the drone still switched on and format the memory card.
This was successful and everything has been fine since.

Just thought I would raise this here in case anyone else has the issue - as Ive seen other with the same problem over on the DJI forums.

Probably a data path short circuit occurred somewhere in the computer from the memory card somewhere. Probably two terminals cross connected when the new SD card was inserted. When the short was cleared it everything worked again.
