Well of course I cannot have anything nice. So I get my replacement
Mavic and as I switch into sport mode the camera/ gimbal decide
To give up and go limp.
After a few seconds they regroup only to be very sketchy and
Within a minute or two it’s back to the limp gimbal.
Several times I get a gimbal warning.
Does anyone know why this is happening and do they sell viagara
For Mavic pros?
Maybe this video will shed some light.

 
Check that the gimbal plate is mounted correctly under the two corner tabs and the rear center one. You can find other threads showing the proper seating. It might have suffered trauma in shipping.

Mossback I have checked and rechecked the gimbal plate and mounts and they are correct.
It’s like everything is good up to a set speed and if and when that speed is
Met the gimbal goes nuts.
Is it vibration?
Thank you for your response

does it also happen when you switch to sport mode without flying fast?
does it still happen if you fly with the gimbal dome on it?

can you post the log file? it will show the camera and drone movements. we can check if there is something special happening at the moment the gimbal goes limp.
