    Horizon issues when filming diagonal rising shots

    Hi, Hope for some advice.... When I try to capture shots travelling diagonally (up & left/right). The horizon is really out of level. I'm flying a Mavic 2 pro and it is new, never crashed etc. I've calibrated the gimbal but doesn't seem to make any difference. I've added an example video below...

    Loose gimbal/camera

    I recently bought a Mavic off of eBay but I’m not sure if something’s wrong with the gimbal. It seems pretty loose when it’s off to the point where if I hold it side ways it turns and hits the side. Not sure if this is normal or not

    Crashed, purchased new gimbal, gimbal has the shakes.

    Hello everybody! New drone operator here. Bought a refurbished unit from the DJI website. I got a little arrogant and crashed my drone. Pretty big impact. Destroyed the gimbal. I ordered a replacement gimbal off of ebay and installed it myself. When I start up the drone, I am able to connect...

    Problem with shaky footage using the mini

    I recently found that all footage I took the last two weeks is extremely shaky. The issue seems to be much worse on anything that is close to the drone such as the trees to the bottom right side, but anything far away seems to be fine. I think it almost looks like a stabilization issue. Is...

    One tiny o-ring requires whole gimbal to be replaced - what the?

    Hi I recently noticed a bulge in the o-ring that seals the camera lens when a lens protector or filter is put on. I figured that such a trivial part would be available for 10c form DJI but no.............the drone has to be sent away and for whole gimbal to be replaced. I tried a private repair...

    I forgot Gimbal protective cover and turned on Mavic 2 Pro

    I have a Mavic 2 Pro. I am still a beginner to fly drones. One day I turned on the Drone in my hand and put it on the floor, so I took the remote control to turn it on too. That's when I looked that I hadn't removed the Gimbal cover. Whenever I turn on the Drone, the gimbal does a calibration. I...

    Gimbal off centre?

    I had some issues with keeping direction. I thought it was wind (it may still be), but then I started examining the gimbal. And I found that when my Mavic is positioned on a straight line (line right in the centre, between feet and the feet aligned to another line positioned at right angle to...

    Mavic Air Gimbal Dial Is also moving drone?

    So a few weeks ago, my Mavic Air started doing this weird thing. When it’s up in the air, and I try to adjust the pitch of the gimbal, the gimbal moves, but the drone also moves sideways, in which ever direction the dial is turned. I tried recalibrating a few things, but nothing worked. Any...

    I broke the clip used to fix the "Gimbal vibration abnormal" error

    So the title says it. I broke the clip off (where the arrow is pointing). Is there anyway I can stabilize it? (Duct tape etc.)

    I crashed my mavic 2 pro... camera faces down.

    Everything else on the mavic works fine. The camera stays facing down when off though. I can move it in any direction manually but will center itself facing down. When I turn it on it positions itself normally and works normal. Only when I fly and move it around the camera drifts and faces down...
