Firmware Update Nightmare, IMU, SD Card Missing, Gimbal Locked, Battery Cell, Transmission Fail

I do understand you @brettbrandon the left side seems quite off to the right side.
It's like my 1st quad had this too in the corners. My 2nd one is way better but the centre is always the sharpest from the Mavic. I've not seen any pictures where this falloff did not occur hence people saying they have perfect sharpness overall.

These isolated spots however need to be fixed by DJI for sure.

That ain't good, Brett...dang it! What's the plan, Stan?

Started a service ticket and will probably have to try again with a different drone. That seems to be how they roll.

Hmm just straightened, perspective corrected and cropped it, there's softness left side and barrel roll top right... Somethings not accurate there, I know when shooting video at 10bit x265 DLOG the barrel correction needs doing post. But always gets pretty straight horizon when I do it.

Must get mine out and tested see what it's like for shooting.

What settings do you have the camera at out of interest, see if I can re create it. View attachment 75382

Settings:
Manual Mode
ISO 100
F/3.5
4:3 Ratio
Color - Normal

I'm assuming the wall is pretty straight that is lol, and the line on the right is straight on the wall that is. [emoji4]

I picked this because it was built in the last 6 months so it has nice sharp edges and yes it is well built nice and straight as well as the sidewalk.

Just found another problem looking at the vids from yesterday.
The Gimbal moved twice without any gimbal input. It was never touched the whole vid the clip is from.
Now I have to send DJI Service this as well....

My original M2P got a little soft in the corners but so does my DSLR.
Until they come out with a DSLR that defies gravity and can hover almost anywhere and be operated wirelessly for about the cost of a midrange DSLR body, you can't beat a properly working M2P.

I keep forgetting this thread isn't about the camera.
Is it possible for a moderator to take from where I derailed it and move it to a new thread?

Got the new replacement for the bad replacement and all looks good. I think its a tad sharper than my first M2P.
