I've had this Mavic Pro for some time now its always treated me well and its never been crashed. Basically I was out on a shoot and one morning, I fired her up, the gimbal tried to calibrate as it usually does but it never finished. Basically the camera just flips around, side-to-side clicking away but it cannot find a way to calibrate. The error on my controller reads: "Gimbal motor load too large. Please check if the gimbal clamp has been removed." It'll keep flipping around until eventually the error changes to "Gimbal obstructed." So for some reason it thinks its hitting something, but it's not, the camera is not actually obstructed at all. I've checked it through and through. When it's shooting around going from side-to-side, top-to-bottom, trying to calibrate, its not actually hitting anything, the clicking sound is just the gimbal reaching the end of its range of motion.
I took it into a drone repairman and he said that the entire gimbal motor needed to be replaced for about $300.
My two questions are:
(1) Does it sound like his diagnosis is right? Do I really need to replace the whole gimbal motor, or is there possibly a cable I can replace, or something of the sort?
(2) Is that a pretty normal price for replacing the gimbal motor? I'm not entirely sure how much the part costs by itself.
Thanks for any help/advise you can offer!
