    IMU error ACC0 0.01

    I had a head-on collision with the drone and now the gimbal does not stabilize the camera. Tried a factory reset, compass calibration, and IMU calibration, and all the steps completed successfully. When I turn on the drone, the check does everything correctly. All 3 gimbal motors work, but then...

    IMU and Gimbal problems (calling for fellow technicians)

    Hello there, A little backstory.. I bought a Mavic Mini from a person that crashed it, with the intention of fixing it (assumed I could do it, because of the extensive experience in DIY drone world). The crash resulted in a weird gimbal behavior and inappropriately working altitude hold. After...

    M2Z IMU Calibration Weirdness

    Prepping for first flight this morning and start the IMU Calibration Process. I get to step 3, and the photo is the drone, sitting on its feet (as in step one) but turned 135 degrees or so counter clockwise from step one, which is looking at the left side. I comply, and it sits there blinking...

    IMU Calibration Help

    I am calibrating my Mavic 2 Pro IMU for the first time and it seems to get stuck on step 3/5 which is placing aircraft on flat surface lying flat. Anyone else having this issue? I was able to pass step 2 which requires it lying on its side, but the next step seems to freeze. No error message or...

    Buying a Mavic Flown in Rain? GPS Issues

    I live in Central America and have found a guy selling his DJI Mavic for less than half the price of new (they are expensive down here ... about 30-40% more than in the US). Problem is he says he flew in light rain for a short time (just enough to get it back to him, so a few minutes...

    New Mavic - IMU calibration hangs up and does not complete

    I am operating on the Phantom P3P theory which recommended calibrating a new unit, and the IMU calibration doesn't seem to complete. It's been going for 20 minutes now, which seems like a LONG time to me. Similar problem with firmware update. Not sure what to do about it ... any suggestions...
