    Mavic Pro Platinum gimbal tilt screeching sound, is this normal?

    My Mavic Pro Platinum is making this strange screeching sound when it is tilted 90°. It doesn't happen on each tilt as you can see. Would be great if someone could confirm this. Thanks! *The beeping sound is from the controller, I had the gimbal up/down tilt set to the 5D button.

I tried it afterwards and it seems fine, but i have...

    Gimbal issue

    Please help! My MPs Gimbal does not respond to the Gimbal Dial. I have done the IMU and all the Gimbal calibrations but the gimbal keeps the camera frozen straight ahaed. I do have a second MP that runs without an issue on the same RC, so it cannot be the Gimbal Dial. Any idea?

    Gimbal overload

    So, I received my Mavic Wednesday night. So today was the only real flight I've had, it's dark when I get home. Anyway, I did take it up in my yard; not high but just to check it out. It drifted and fell, again not high but enough to out it in gimbal overload. Today I took it out for about 20...

    Gimbal Roll (Image Not Level) When Flying Left or Right

    I recently upgraded my Mavic to 1.04.0000 and have been testing the new and old flight modes. One difference (I think) I noticed was that the image was not staying level when pushing the right stick left or right. If I flew to the left (pushed the right stick left), the horizon would become...

    Litchi Bug(?): Gimbal Interpolate doesn't work when flying at slow speeds

    Hey guys, I've been scratching my head about this for a while thinking it was pilot error but I'm starting to think it's either a bug or just a hardware limitation. I've been using Litchi to film timelapses using the waypoint feature. Typically I'll just have a two point mission with only a...
