    Litchi Waypoints: Gimbal Not Smoothly Pitching Between WPs

    Hey guys, I've been creating missions in Litchi to shoot some timelapses. The routes are two waypoints a couple hundred feet apart, mavic ever-so-slightly rotating and moving between the two points at 0.3mph. I've been trying to have the gimbal subtly move as well, but haven't had much luck...

    Gimbal not moving, no camera feed

    I crashed my Mavic in a lake in Norway a couple of weeks ago. I was able to get it out of the water after about a minute. Gimbal flat cord broke. I have now replaced it but gimbal still does not move and still no camera feed. Any ideas? (Everything else seems to work ok)

    Gimbal and Filters

    to what extent could the wrong filters effect the gimbal calibration process? could it hurt the gimbal or make it work improperly if filters are too heavy or other reasons? love to hear peoples horror stories or other tales where filters effect the way the gimbal functioned... thank you!!

    Gimbal Malfunction

    This is the second time it's happened... the first time, I thought a bird tried to snag the drone out of the sky (wasn't in the line of sight) and the drone was plummeting towards earth. But it was just the gimbal. Landed the drone, took off again, and it was fine. Essentially, the gimbal goes...

    I've had this Mavic for almost two months and over the last few flights I've noticed a few issues with the gimbal and camera.
