    Mavic 2 Pro gimbal noise and problems

    Unfortunately I did not manage to fix this problem, even though I replaced both the "Gimbal Flat Ribbon Flex Cable" which was pretty easy, and also "Gimbal Video Signal Transmission Line Flex Cable" which was pretty hardcore. I was thinking about replacing the whole gimbal, but was not sure it...

    In depth questions from a new Mini 3 Pro owner

    Hello everyone, I had some problems with my Mavic 2 Pro gimbal which I unfortunately couldn't fix myself so in the end I bought a Mini 3 Pro with RC controller. It an amazing little drone and in some ways nicer to handle than Mavic 2 but the app feels somewhat limited and not everything is...

    Mavic 2 Pro gimbal noise and problems

    I changed the "gimbal ribbon" and unfortunately that did not fix the problem, so now I have ordered the "gimbal flex cable", hopefully changing that will help. Unfortunately changing this other cable is quite complicated, but there are some good video tutorials on youtube so I think I can manage...

    Mavic 2 Pro gimbal noise and problems

    Thanks for replies everyone! I tried "turning it off and on again" 10 times more, but it didn't help. Also I tried moving the gimbal from position it was stopping in, but there was no mechanical resistance, just magnetic, like the motors were trying to hold it in that exact place. After moving...

    Mavic 2 Pro gimbal noise and problems

    It stops most often like in the video, with gimbal yaw motor as far left as possible, but not always. Sometimes it stops nearly centered, but it never completes calibration.

    Mavic 2 Pro gimbal noise and problems

    Hello everyone! Last week for a trip on a boat I took my Mavic 2 Pro and 2 batteries. A bit salty and sandy enviorment, but I was careful not to get any dirt or water inside the drone. The first flight was without any problems, but when I tried taking off after changing battery, during...

    2 Pro Winter on the Norwegian coast

    Thanks everyone! By the way, I accidentally posted the same the same video twice on the forum, in 2 identical threads, how can I ask somebody (a moderator?) to merge them or to delete the other thread? Couldn't find how to do it myself.

    2 Pro Winter on the Norwegian coast

    Hello! I wanted to share my (flying) and my girlfriends (editing) second collaboration ;) on a drone video, this time from footage captured during a week of cold but sunny weather around Kristiansand, a city in the southernmost part of Norway, where we currently live. Even though it was...

    2 Pro Winter in Norway || Cross-country skiing around Bortelid, right after massive snowfall

    Thanks everyone, it is so nice to hear that you enjoy the video, I am quite new to this medium, but I see now that filming gives so many different possibilities to show the landscape than photography. I will definitely continue editing videos, even though it so much more work than working with...

    2 Pro Winter in Norway || Cross-country skiing around Bortelid, right after massive snowfall

    Hello everyone! After a long time of flying my Mavic 2 Pro and mostly taking photos, my girlfriend decided to edit a movie from a day trip of cross-country skiing to a local ski resort in Norway named Bortelid, and this is the effect. Lots of snow and lots of fun. Hope you enjoy it. Cheers!
