[Gbshen]

When exactly does it buzz?

 

[Gbshen]

Soon as it is on . Never heard anything before.

Fan gunked up and out of balance with hair or debris?

How old is your controller, is it out of warranty?

How long does it buzz?

I was thinking the fan could be the issue too, but that shouldn't kick on as soon as the remote controller is powered on.

The fan is variable speed, isnt it? Maybe low speed is restricted and it heats up quickly. What else might vibrate in it?

The fan may have lost a blade also.

Warranty service!

I had the same thing out of the box! Trying to return it but customer service is ****. I asked for a shipping label almost 2 weeks ago but never got one. Now it seems that I have to pay to ship the RC to Germany and wait at least a month before i start using the drone, just because they sent a crap RC.

BTW, my noise kicks in about 2 minutes after I turn it on, so it's probably the fan.

Mine did this, had to return the controller to DJI Netherlands. Checked and replaced with a new controller, and back to me in 10 days total. Bearing faulty on fan.

The remote controller vibrates when certain warnings appear (like high wind & obstacle warnings).

That's why I was asking the OP how long it buzzes. It's not clear whether or not it buzzes the entire time after it's powered on or if it's just vibrating due to a warning message being displayed.
