3 Axis Gimble on MPP?

[DroneJI]

isnt the MPP supposed to have a 3 axis Gimble ? When I fly even in tripod mode if I bank left or right the video also banks like the camera isn’t adjusting to the pitch change! Am I missing a setting or is there something wrong with my MPP? The gimbal works great with all other direction changes except if I bank the drone to move it left or right while continuing to move forward while I’m following a trail to avoid plants or tree limbs without losing focus on the path I’m following! (I’m try to make it look like I’m walking the path) I hope this is understandable? I can upload a video of the issue if not Thanks

Disable the "Enable Synchronized Gimbal Pan Follow" setting in the following section of DJI GO:

Thanks what does that setting do? Why is it there?

Thanks I have to check that setting and the video was informative

You likely have your gimbal in "FPV" mode instead of "Follow" mode.

Yea I thought so also but it’s not in that mode I will have to test fly it later I hope amazon did not send me a returned drone! They messed up a lot of items in the order wrong extra battery and wrong extra props! After calling them they don’t seem to understand why the props are wrong! They sent me the original mavic props not the platinum there smaller and designed different I can see it easy just by looking at them! I’m never buy anything like this from amazon again!

The gimbal only moves sideways a couple of degrees and it is not user controllable; it is just to help keep the video steady.

I tested it holding it in my hand and it moves to the sideways pitching if it doesn’t in flight I have to guess something is wrong with the drone? I’ll call Dji if it’s not right when I send it up again hopefully today

Post a sample clip.

You might also need to recalibrate IMU and/or gimbal.

This is confusing without clear terminology.

When you say "bank" do you mean pitch or roll?

Roll

Roll

Using the right stick to nudge it to the side basically banking to the right or left like changing lanes on the highway. I know Simone it’s in the air this can be done a few ways but I’m trying to keep it moving in a straight line forward as I nudge it in tripod mode to avoid obstacles as the path shifts slightly (due to trees, shrubs) but is still relatively straight. I will post a vide when I find where I stored them.

It really sounds like the gimbal is behaving as if in FPV mode, which rolls with the aircraft to give you something closer to a pilot's eye view. If you're certain it's set to Follow, which should keep the camera level on the roll axis, and it's still rolling with right stick input, you may have a problem.

Yea that’s what I thought it’s been raining here so I couldn’t get it out yesterday hopefully today I can test it again? The remote was already replaced by Dji it was defective out of the box! That’s why I’m wondering if it wasn’t exactly new Amazon has resold returns as new before!

heres a vid of the tilt! you can start to see it about 19 seconds in at 1:34 there's a perfect example it when the forward sensors stop it because I cant get it to move to the left of a Blue Blazed Tree, it was in Tripod mode the whole time because of the dense growth on the path I was trying to practice to get smooth video when the trees are awake in a few months. but every subtle movement caused the image to tilt

Looks to me like you'll need to send it in. There isn't any properly functioning mode I know of that should produce that result - far too erratic. I'd say recalibrate the gimbal first (might as well) but it seems more likely a hardware malfunction.

Ok thanks I will try to recalibrate everything first if it doesn’t help guess it’s going back to Dji

I looked at the camera while holding it to see if the lens was rotating and it was but that wasn’t during a flight. It’s like one of the axis’s is stuck and the camera won’t rotate with the drone. I am really starting to think I may have gotten a returned drone from Amazon. I hope it was never activated before Dji will tell me if I have to call them! And if Amazon doesn’t make it right I will have to call my bank because it’s past the return window.

I’m following a trail to avoid plants or tree limbs without losing focus on the path I’m following! (I’m try to make it look like I’m walking the path)

A little of topic....but if you want to make it look like your walking the path, why don't you just carry the mavic in your hand when recording ?

You'll get a much more natural effect and next to impossible to crash it [emoji4]
