    Filters and Gimbal Protector-Issues

    I have a set of Sunnylife filters for my Mavic Air. I was able to remove the ring and replace it with a filter. Unfortunately, I’ve found that you can’t put the gimbal protector on, with a filter in place. The filter is 2 mm taller than protective ring (see below). When you put the cover on the...

    New Improved Gimbal Gaurd

    I did a search and didn't find anyone talking about this, so I thought I would share it. I ordered one of these from Drone Valley for my Mavic pro, and its way better than the included gimbal guard. Super easy to install with one hand even, and it seems stronger and should hold up better in...

    It's Never Time for Jello

    Big jello issue. Not idea what caused it, I have never crashed (this drone, anyway) and never dropped it, and it stays in its case with the gimbal lock in place when not in use. I know this question has been asked, I've read the posts and tried everything: latest firmware, calibrate the...

    Read before replacing Gimbal

    Replacing a damaged Gimbal is fairly straight forward. I picked one up on Amazon for $220 U.S. One main thing to watch out for is when separating the upper cover of the drone in order to gain access to the Gimbal mounting screws, be mindful of the GPS wiring harness located in the rear section...

    Gimbal and Camera control lost midflight

    Hi, I have a DJI Mavic Pro. Recently I have started facing an issue with the gimbal and the camera. While flying I am losing the control of the gimbal and camera control. This is an intermittent issue. Using the dial I cannot control the gimbal. Also the details of the camera aperture, shutter...

    Pro parts vs platinum pro parts

    So my question is a slightly rhetoric one but I don't definitely know the answer so I'm asking for clarity. Does the MP and MPP share similar hardware all the way to the roots? I crashed my drone yesterday and I am looking for a ribon cable and vibration board but I am only seeing it labeled...

    Mavic Pro gimbal flop

    This started happening to my Mavic Pro about a month ago and seems to be getting worse. When I maneuver the drone quickly I get this gimbal flop. It flops in the direction of the turn (or yaw). I've calibrated the gimbal and it's still doing it. Anybody have any experience with this? I'm within...

    Unlocking the full potential

    In the FAQ for the Mavic air on DJI's site, I saw that the maximum operating elevation above takeoff is 5000 feet. But the DJI Go 4 app sets the limit at 500m, or ~1600 feet. Is there some way to get past that to go higher? Because I live in a mountainous area, and this summer I hope to go...

    Gimbal shaking when powering on.

    Yesterday I flew my mavic pro with no issues. Put it back in its case overnight. Woke up the next morning and updated the firmware followed by calibrating the IMU, compass and gimbal. No problems. Later that afternoon I turned my mavic pro on and the gimbal was vibrating and making an awful...

    Gimbal Cover ... Never forget to remove it again.

    I forgot to remove my Gimbal Cover so I decided to „Mod“ it a touch. I just added a ribbon to it so that I’ll never forget to remove it again. I was going to bore a hole in it but then decided to thread it through the slot on the hatch. It works a treat!

    Gimbal board broken from crash? ribbon & cam line cable replaced, neither gimbal movement nor video!

    Hi Guys, i crashed my mavic, ribbon cable and camera line cable ripped off. I bought replacements on amazon and replaced them with the help of a YT video. I recon everything went fine, all connectors fit good. BUT: I have no gimbal movement when turning the mavic on (no calibration, no...

    Gimbal stuck

    I’ve been using Litchi with good success for a while now but all of a sudden after a couple of incident free flights on the one day the gimbal went thru the normal start up calibration but then finishes on the +30 position while using litchi in the pano mode. I changed modes, shut down litchi...

    Gimbal damage, repair costs

    Hello everyone. Yesterday I crashed my Mavic Pro, and the gimbal got damaged. The motors work, the camera captures, but it wont respond to my tilting commands, and I get that "gimbal motor overload" warning. I checked if the gimbal is in place, and it is. Anyway, I took it to my local oficial...

    Crashed, now gimbal is obstructed

    I had my first flight yesterday on my Mavic Pro and one of the propellers wasn't locked in all the way. Before the drone got 3ft off the ground the propellor flew off and the mavic crashed. I now get that awful "gimbal motor overlad" warning when the gimbal tries to calibrate. It seems the...

    Is Gimbal Cover Neccessary?

    Got my Air today, however in the excitement of opening it at work I think I've misplaced the gimbal cover already (doh!). If it sits in it's protective pouch all the time and I'm generally careful, is the gimbal cover really required?

    New MPP Ripple effect

    Hi, I've a brand new Mavic pro platinum, bought in November, 30minutes total flight time, all my video is plagued with the ripple/jello effect, I'm new to drones and originally thought this was due to wind or was just the cached video transcoding issue on the phone but today the wind was 10-15km...

    Jello Video When Drone is Still

    Hi all, New Mavic owner here. Searched the forum and haven't seen a solution to jello with the drone LANDED and props OFF. Heres a sample: As you can see, there are severe stabilization issues even when the drone is not in flight with the props off, resting on the ground, minimal to no wind...

    What Firmware are You Flying

    What firmware are you currently flying on or last used? Any issues? I am on v01.04.0000 Once in a while I will get the gimbal "freakout" while in mid air. I usually land, turn Mavic off and back on, and everything is fine again.

    Mavic Air IMU Calibration

    I just opened the new mavic but it gives me this error (IMU Calibration, Accelerometer Failed, Gimbal cannot receive MC data.) How can I resolve?
