    Low noise prop cause abnormal gimbal vibration

    I agree, and I did read the update objectives. The tests I ran are probably best described as low-performance trials, and so long as this remains an issue under factory gain settings then I'll continue to keep a wary eye on things.

    Low noise prop cause abnormal gimbal vibration

    Worked for me. I began as suggested by adjusting gain downward in small percentage increments. The gimbal vibrations remained visibly apparent all the way down to 90%, but the condition stopped being reported in telemetry. I could clearly see that it was still vibrating, but I wasn't getting...

    Downloading mavic pro black box data to imac

    Further to this thread, I'm using a Mac with Assistant 2 and the only results I get when selecting the Data Upload tab and getting past the popup statement is a spinning gear symbol. No files are displayed even after waiting a couple minutes. I would've thought that at least the list of files...

    DJI Assistant 2 - User Guide

    Hello, Did you ever get an answer to your question? I use a Mac as well with Assistant 2 installed and have had my Mavic for just over a month. When connecting to Assistant 2 I can't seem to find any files either via Flight Data or Data Upload. No files are displayed in Finder, though the DCIM...

    Low noise prop cause abnormal gimbal vibration

    Here's what I've found out as of today experimenting with LNPs with a Mavic Pro mfg'd on 28 Sep, 2017 and running the latest firmware (v01.04.0100). The a/c performs great out of the box with stock props; vid/pic quality is stunning; zero gimbal issues. In all I've tried three different sets of...

    New Mavic Pro Firmware Released (19/9/2017) - 01.04.0000

    I was also baffled by this and later found some very general info about the low noise props on DJI's FAQ page for the Mavic Pro Platinum - some of the relevant ones are pasted below. The low noise props were designed for the Platinum as part of their motor/ESC/propeller enhancements, but DJI...

    Cold weather flying

    I'm a relatively new Mavic Pro owner who also purchased DJI Care and have a couple questions question regarding cold weather flying and warranty/care coverage. Battery temps aside, does the Mavic record outside air temperature? I've not seen any indication of this in the flight data...or I've...

    New Mavic Pro Firmware Released (19/9/2017) - 01.04.0000

    Yes; the error still occurred for me on the latest firmware. I should've been more clear about that in my post or referred to my earlier post on the matter in a similar thread. I contacted DJI support via chat and asked about the error. I advised them that I was on the latest firmware, to which...

    New Mavic Pro Firmware Released (19/9/2017) - 01.04.0000

    By now this is probably old news for you and others, but this meant that the firmware update addressed the new low noise propellers (8331) to mitigate gimbal vibration. During flights with these low noise propellers I and others noticed a warning appearing in the green flight status readout area...

    Low noise prop cause abnormal gimbal vibration

    Apologies for any repeat post, but I chatted with DJI support, who said they resolved this issue with the latest firmware update. DJI advised to "refresh firmware using DJI Assistant."

    How to rollback Mavic firmware

    I also discovered in the DroneZBreak documentation that only up to Mac OS 10.12 is supported (Sierra), and my Mac is on 10.13 High Sierra. Have you considered messaging the DroneZBreak software developers to find out whether and, if so, when they are planning on updating for High Sierra? I've...

    Gimbal Vibration Low noise props fixed after 4.100 firmware update?

    I've just spoken via chat with DJI support about this issue, and the tech said "our developers already addressed that issue, and they advise that you need to refresh the firmware of your drone if you will be using the low noise propellers on your drone." I too have been using LNPs from day one...

    Low noise prop cause abnormal gimbal vibration

    I've not recalibrated the gimbal since this warning appeared today with the low noise props, but I recalibrated the IMU and gimbal recently after visually noticing the gimbal vibrating during a low level hover in front of me. The IMU recal seemed to fix things. Oddly, Airdata contains no such...
