    Loss of Gimbal control after .510 upgrade

    Good day, I seem to be having this issue as well with the Gimble. I lose the ability to control the gimbal during flight. When I power up the unit on the ground, I am able to pan and tilt, but once I am in the air, I don't have the ability to pan and tilt. Intermittently I will regain the...

    I trust that you're far more knowledgeable on the topic than I am, and also this Rep, who is either willfully lying or doesn't know any better. As for myself where I am slowly gaining knowledge, for them to not answer question number three with a yes or no but instead, a long statement, in my...

    UPDATE: I found screenshots that I had of the email in question. It is of no consequence now, but this further drives my point that DJI customer service will frustrate you for no reason. I offer my apologies to the community here because I said earlier that DJI stated that flight records are...

    Please do, We're all here to learn from each other and improve our skills. It's a pity that I had to come here with a brain teaser as opposed to some helpful hints or something more productive, but I'm sure there are a few small nuggets here that are worth keeping.

    Not wanting to draw that inference, cause I can't see how this would be done.

    Another insightful analysis that I can definitely wrap my head around. The drone was about 10 feet in front of me at the time of spin up, and I was seated about the hight of two cinder blocks laying flat, I just tried to recreate my seating position by sitting on the edge of my bathtub with RC...

    I appreciate your input and analysis of this. I did go up after launch because there's not much to do in terms of horizontal manoeuvering. I was aiming to get a panorama sunset shot with brightly coloured clouds, so all I needed was pretty much altitude, then I would take about eight photos and...

    This is getting weirder by the minute, as I mentioned that I had an update from DJI this morning to confirm that the drone does not save flight data, persons in the forum commented that it does. So I was just going back to my Yahoo for an email from the representative named "Kamil", Where he or...

    I appreciate that DJI is in an uncomfortable position and so too am I. They are focusing on absent data and writing the entire thing off as user error, and by extension that would include the crash as well, even though the USB connection is a known issue. Basically, once you don't have the...

    Granted, I wasn't in an open field in the middle of the day, I was trying to get a sunset shot, but with such a comedy of errors, loss of control right after takeoff, inaccurate RTH, Flight data and IMU, we just cannot easily account for all these anomalies. UPDATE: DJI has finally advised me...

    Definitely, one would expect that external Influences such as a dead or disconnected phone would still allow you to maneuver the drone. But in my case, it's the loss of data that DJI is focusing on and stated that it was user error that caused the loss of data, They even said, "Use better cable...

    I absolutely appreciate all input and I ensure that you have my utmost respect as well as all the other members of the forum. May I humbly ask what the effects of open field and better lighting would have on the loss of control ability of the drone? I'm definitely seeking answers that we may all...

    I have used RTH on this drone very seldom, and it is very accurate, but I do prefer to land manually, nothing to do with safety or anything, just like the feeling of being in control. Even launching the drone I prefer to use the sticks.

    The horizontal distance from the launch point is about 18 ft. The lunch point was an elevated platform, good for all-around space and visibility. The drone hovered for a few seconds and then started to descend and drift at the same time, so it's final landing spot would've been even further.

    Where will I get this flight analysis?
