DJI Mini 3 Pro Gimbal Camera Turns Horizontal to Portrait and keeps looping after doing a gimbal replacement

[justinmercer]

So I got a DJI Mini 3 Pro for really cheap knowing it needed repairs, so I got all the parts repaired and put it back together now the Gimbal Camera Turns Horizontal to Portrait and keeps looping after doing a gimbal replacement. Can attach a video if that helps

the video would help.

Oh, welcome to the forum.

Thanks I will get a video and upload to you tube since it will be in 4k, I appreciate the quick response.

So that's how the gimbal sits when it's turned off and the video is what it does after powering it on

you will need to google this but check if there is a python script applicable to recalibrating the mini 3 pro gimbal

 

[justinmercer]

So you have never seen them do this before? Yeah I have the calibration software already I just cannot get it to show up as a com port so was hoping someone else ran into this issue before. It still flies I can use the drone and the zoom option just cannot move the gimbal in any way possible from the remote

Is there a specific way the rubber pieces have to go back in, and what about the motors I replaced them all, I noticed one of the motors had an arrow on it so I made sure that was facing the way the camera would be

Gimbal calibration after repair, I am stuck, Mavic Mini but may apply to other models.

I rebuilt a gimbal from a crashed mini, I put the camera in a 'new' gimbal frame and motors. The camera works and the gimbal does the boot dance, moving about all three axis (which is a plus) seemingly perfectly to my eyes but comes up with gimbal stuck message etc. etc. as was more or less...

That is a different issue, I cannot even control my gimbal whatsoever the gimbal wants to move but its like I didnt place a motor the right direction or the rubber pieces werent inserted properly with the motors spun certain ways, I am hoping someone on here can shine me the right way. I need to get back to finishing clients videography.

8:42 in DJI Mini 3 Pro Gimbal Replacement there appears to be an indexing recess in the rubber and a corresponding pimple on the plastic, that would imply that the three lugs also have a specified position.
With regards to the motors I would suspect that they DO need to go back in a specific position and that there are probably alignment marks on the motors and their housings.

You asked about getting the com port to show up, from memory DoomMeister's posts led to me finding the com port number.

 

[justinmercer]

Its not that I need help finding the com point I know where to go its the device is not showing up as a com port device its showing up as another device starting with lib______

 

[justinmercer]

I can see it with DJI Assistant though so I know its not the drone

ah ok

 

[justinmercer]

hoping someone else on here has seen this before

 

[justinmercer]

I noticed one of the errors as saying to make sure the gimbal all 3 axis are free

Already did that and it made the gimbal move but it's like the rest position (start position) is backwards, I replaced all the motors as well as the ptz cable is there a specific way the motors go in I noticed one had an arrow on it?

See the second paragraph of post 11.
