    Gimbal locked up during Active Track, overload, wheel error [video]

    Had a strange gimbal failure yesterday while using Active Track. As the subject changed directions and started running, the Mavic seemed to just barely maintain its target, but before it could start moving the gimbal threw itself into an awkward angle and got stuck. Here's the video: Dropbox -...

  6. Improved Gimbal Clamp + Protector, similar to Teenitor?

    Hey everyone, I'm looking to purchase a more versatile and user-friendly replacement for the gimbal clamp and protector. I came across the Teenitor clamp/protector and it looks perfect as it is a single unit that replaces the two seperate clamp/protector that comes stock. Only issue is that...

    Gimbal engine frying

    My Mavic Pro started having these errors and they occurred even without any phone connected to the remote. After that I tried to recalibrate the gimbal and he made a sound like a dentist's drill and the gimbal got so hot I could barely touch it. I turned off the drone immediately and now I'm...

    Gimbal Roll value

    Dear community. I purchased my mavic from someone. Today I found out that the setting was at -0.5 at the gimbal roll. Shouldn't it be 0.0 if everything was okay? Thank you in advance.

    Drone almost crashes during mid-flight.

    Hello community, I wanted to share this video with you, because my mavic did something odd today. During my flight after gaining some altitude my mavic seemingly had a problem. Could this be related to high winds or was it a gimbal problem? Any help is appreciated!
