Hi

Can anyone explain how to fix this error. I had gimbal apart and cleaned it and also changed the ribbon cable. I'm running out of ideas. If you watch the video, you'll see that gimbal works normal later on. The issue only persist in init of the gimble and even that not allways. But still enough times that is annoying when you want to record or take a picture of something in a hurry. Tried downgrading the firmware but dji has it locked with Firmware Rollback on value 2. Any idea would be much appreciated.

PS: I will reupload the video if it goes down.

You need to calibrate your gimbal with python.

When i had it at this stage I inspected sliding surfaces movements and blew it out with air. All of the movements seemed smooth with no resistance and linear.

Thank you all for Your fast responses !

Sure! Here is a starter video it explains everything. If you need any help with it there are also many tutorials online, perhaps one for your specific Drone model. (This video works for any, just pay attention and use the correct numbers for your model Drone).
Just make sure you understand what things are required and the steps,clearly before you do it!
Its not really hard just a ton of steps to follow. The video is the best way really. I still follow it when I do it.
