    Mavic Gimbal Dead before first flight

    I'm at a loss, so I am doing the same. This has to be a common problem with the Mavic. After a closer look at the Mavic Gimbal hanging by 4 small rubber bands, I have to say I was not impressed with the engineering on that idea. Even the phantom has some type of rubber bumpers on the Gimbal. I...

    Mavic Gimbal Dead before first flight

    Ordered my Mavic from Best Buy on October 10th. It delivered on December 10th. I waited Christmas Day to open it. After setting up the new Firmware the Gimbal calibrated and worked fine. The Gimbal guard has been removed and I still receive the error message, "Gimbal Obstructed" After several...
