You guys want to see this. As the problem appeared to be on the circuitry around the back of the camera assembly I decided to get that backplate off (really easy stuff, 4 screws) and take a look with the microscope: See anything in this image? A bit closer? Microscope maybe? WOW! Yeah...

One more update: A colleague of mine suggested the perfect test. Grab an air-spray can (one of those to dust off computers: Invert it so it sprays liquid air, which comes out at reaaally cold temps, and spray it on different parts of the gimbal. Discovered that the problem appears when I...

I've got news. So it occured to me that I could test the different parts in the cold. I first made sure gimbal worked in a warm environment. Put the drone body outside for 15 minuts, assembled, gimbal works. Put the gimbal ribbon cable outside for 15 minutes, assembled, gimbal works. Put the...

I'm crossing my fingers. The cable will take quite a while to come. I haven't found a source here in Norway that has it. No metal exposed, but the "lump" is clear up close. My guess is that this lump was created when manufacturing this unit, then vibrations + temperature expansion and...

Update: The drone is now failing to subtle temperature changes, I believe the component is indeed failing more and more due to cycling as @Barbara stated. If I leave it close to the window (around 18-20 °C?) the issue appears, if I get it warm again issue goes away. After a couple of emails...

Exactly my thoughts. I'm afraid that this will kep getting worse to the point of a full fault. I will let you guys know what DJI tells me, but I'm not hopeful that they're gonna cover it under warranty... Shame the issue didn't appear before

I have never replaced any part of the drone nor dissasembled anything. I also never crashed it nor bumped it with anything, so I guess it's a manufacturing issue. Temp has been always above -10C. Gonna wait to see what DJI sais

Update: After some testing for my hypothesis these are the results: Base condition: FW refresh and the gimbal working propperly If the drone is left resting at room temperature, the gimbal works without any issues, no matter the time it has been standing idle. I cannot replicate the issue. If...

Update: Ok so I "refreshed" the FW 3 times with Assistant for Mavic this morning, one for each battery just to make sure. Just to be clear, I had no "Insonsistent firmware" message with neither battery before, I did it for good measure. Powered on the drone throughout the day and the camera...

Thought about this but if it was poorly fited, wouldn't it had failed in the previous 2 years? I'm going to check this once I discard all the FW options. Gotcha, doing that this afternoon, sadly no test flights until this weekend.

Not dumb at all! That's the first thing I did, FW update. Didn't help, so I factory reset it, nothing. I just discovered that batteries have FW too (wow), gonna update the 3 batteries I have with Assistant and fly it for a bit this weekend. Honestly, that might be it. I noticed that when you...

I've been searching the internet for weeks now but found no solution or any cases of my exact problem. I would like to know if any of you have experienced this and how you solved it. After having my Mavic stored for 3 months I tried to fly it for the first time but noticed the feed was shaky...

If that's the case you should complain. I can imagine how frustrating your case is. Continue to try and chat with them and sending e-mails.

Mine too, since this morning. I was starting to get suspicious that something was wrong with my order since I haven't got any tracking info in all day; so I just got off the chat with DJI and they told me that my order has not shipped yet, that they are arranging it. Why the hell would you mark...

Quick question, at what time did your payment clear? My order has been "shipped" for the hole day (since 7:30am here in the east coast) but I have no carrier and no tracking number. They're shipping by payment date/time and my payment cleared the 10th at 23:00 so I'm pretty sure I'm one of the...
