    Drone nearly hits police officer

    Maybe I just don't understand the USA culture well enough to judge throw away comments so maybe took the comment too literally. No, not that I believed he meant jail time literally but a serious enough penalty to comply. Got to tell you guys that here in Australia a drone needs to be under...

    Drone nearly hits police officer

    I'm from Australia and find your comment a little outrageous. USA is country people are allowed to carry in some States (maybe many, I'm not really sure) yet you want to create laws that stop people flying drones in the city with jail time being the punishment! I think that simply doesn't make...

    minimum amount of locked satellites to fly?

    I’ve just got myself a Mavic Air but I have a Mavic Pro as well. I’ve noticed that the Mavic Air doesn’t seem to lock into too many GPS signals. I’ve only had it for a day so don’t know what’s normal. But using the UAV app it’s indicating 12 GPS locks but if I add Glonass it estimates 18 in...

    Mavic Pro Camera Stuck Looking Right

    Do you still have control over the gimbal movement with the controller? If no, then I expect a simple centring of the gimbal won’t be enough

    Gimbal repair after small crash

    More than likely either the gimbal ribbon and/or the gimbal pcb board. Start with ribbon first. Don’t buy that off eBay, many do not work.

    Gimbal control board issue

    I am having an issue with gimbal control pcb board. I have 1x working gimbal + gimbal board which I am using for testing. I have 3x other boards that all have the same issue when I attach the known working camera to it. These all work partly in that I can see video, but I have no control in the...

    Mavic Pro Gimbal Cable Routing Pics Please

    I’ve done it so many tunes now, that I can do it reasonably easy but the issue is I’ve bought these ribbons off eBay and although they are cheap, most don’t work. I assume that these rubbings have probably failed QC at the factories that they are made and just end up on eBay. I doubt that a...

    Core board - led binding light not on

    In desperation today. I put a known working core board into the one I am rebuilding. I had thought that the chances of being a core board issue after trying two core boards world be unlikely but I did not truly know the status of those boards and so I was wrong. In desperation today I took a...

    Core board - led binding light not on

    Just changed the gimbal board. so the only thing that leaves me is to change out the esc board as there is one ribbon from the esc to core board. But I’d rather not do that if anyone had other ideas for testing and solutions

    Core board - led binding light not on

    Have changed all the core ribbons now (twice) yet still no green/red led linking light. I’m not sure where the power comes from. I guess the next thing is to try another gimbal board as the core board has 2 connections to this. many other ideas are welcome. Someone else had a similar issue on...

    Core board - led binding light not on

    I’ve just been rebuilding a Mavic Pro. everything seems ok, but I cannot bind the controller to the drone. on closer inspection, I noticed the binding led light is not on. Fearing a dud core board, I replaced it with another, which gave the same issue, so I am thinking that it’s power supply...

    Mavic Pro Gimbal Status: N/A - Bought 2nd Hand

    Yes it’s very possible. I have an issue with the gimbal board on my MP1. Same thing, the sensors and video plugs into it. Everything works apart from the gimbal. I know the board is definitely a problem as I attached it to a known good gimbal yet still got gimbal overload errors. Trying to find...

    Mavic Pro gimbal issue. Please help!

    Hi, thanks for this, but the ebay link looks like it goes to the gimbal vibration plate and not the gimbal board. i was after the gimbal board as in your pictures in the first post. Btw, what have you done with the old board. I’d love to pull the ribbon cable pin off it. Mine needs to be...

I swapped the good performing gimbal/board on drone with error —> error disappears, so nothing wrong...
