Hi guys I’m just awaiting for a new ribbon cable for this camera /gimbal after a crash which may or may not help but after some research and advice from thunderdrones have looked at gimbal motor side of things and have found a difference in the gaps (see photo) between the motors and camera ? can anyone with same drone send me a picture of theirs to see what it should normally look like ?
Thanks

Thanks , I think it’s a cable issue as there is a dent in it so hope new one fixes gimbal overload message and lack of camera movement control .

Hello Goldenmember1000,

Please let me know what cable did you get. I have the same issue like yours. My pro camera gimbal is no longer working. I still have all the camera functions like video feed, record, and take pictures. I replaced the flat cable that connects the gimbal to the drone body, but that didn't fix the issue. I don't know if your drone still do this, but my gimbal still performs the initial "dance" when start the drone up. Please let me know how it goes for you. Thanks

Also yeah, my gimbal has the same gap like yours. I don't know if it was there since the beginning or after I crashed my drone.

The gap where the gimbal connects with the camera appears to be present in most photos of the mavic so it’s nothing to worry about I think, the cable I’ve order is the flat one you describe that connects the gimbal and camera to the body , it has a dent in it so I’m hoping a new cable is the answer. I’m gonna leave the drone on for a while and see if the gimbal motors get hot ?

It seems like the crack is bigger on the right- I don’t think it’s a good clue.....

Please check something for me , When your drone starts up put your ear close to camera and see if you hear any crackling noises and the camera pitches up and down .thanks

I don’t.

 

[Goldenmember1000]

I don’t.

Okay I think I have damaged the motors that pitch the camera , new cable coming tomorrow so I shall try that first thanks

I think it’s a motor issue as I can hear a little crackle on start up when the camera pitches up and down, also my start up dance is different to those I’ve seen on YouTube ??? Maybe I damaged cable and motors !!
