Hi folks,
I bought a Mavic Air 2. It needs the left rear axis pivot replaced. i was told that is all that was wrong with the drone. I learned this is not the case. I fired the drone up and the gimbal settles at the usual 20ish degree off horizon that so many people address online. I also get a gimbal stuck message. I looked at the camera closely and could see that the spot where the yaw motor shaft pushes into and seats to the gimbal had separated. The motor directly at the back of the camera. I pressed the camera back and was able to get control of the camera. It operated perfectly. So I pressed the pivot in and used a little epoxy to hold the shaft in place. I could not find any information at all about how the shaft is supposed to be mounted. It looks like it could have just been a pressed part. Now the epoxy is dried and I get a gimbal stuck error. Nothing is stuck. Nothing is impeding movement. I also tried the command line calibration with python. The command for calibration was not able to compete. It reported unexpected error from gimbal. I have no experience with these cameras or model of DJI. My experience is with different models over the years. I do know that there is little tricks in many cases to repair nonsense errors. This one is nonsense. Or something is wrong that is something other than a stuck gimbal even though the stuck gimbal is the displayed error. Does anyone know such a trick? A new gimbal is not so expensive, but I thought I would try this knowledge base first. Thanks.
