I’ve been having a strange issue with my gimbal. A couple of weeks ago, my gimbal went crazy for a few seconds. On the video, it looked like the bird was out of control. I had it in sight and saw it was level and fine. After the few seconds, the gimbal corrected itself.
No further issues with several flights until today. While flying, I noticed the image turn sideways for a moment (again, thought it was the bird). While sideways, I could make out the left front prop. Again, few seconds later, it corrects itself.
A later flight today another issue. This time, in sport mode and hauling. The video feed continued but I lost all gimbal control (it maintained level and wouldn’t move up or down). When this occurred, my recording stopped and I had none of the features/ setting for the camera (similar to what you see when the MP is off). The video continued however so there wasn’t total camera loss. When I slowed down, the gimbal remained locked in that position so now I was seeing the sky in the feed.
Landed and restarted the MP. No further issues after that.
Looking at the gimbal, all the bands are intact and nothing seems amiss. No errors displaying on the app. Gimbal Calibration prior to flight was fine.
Any thoughts on this?
