Yesterday I flew my mavic pro with no issues. Put it back in its case overnight. Woke up the next morning and updated the firmware followed by calibrating the IMU, compass and gimbal. No problems.

Later that afternoon I turned my mavic pro on and the gimbal was vibrating and making an awful rattling noise as well as an error being displayed on the controller. I've looked into it and it seems as though the most common cause of this is because the gimbal comes out of its clamps however mine is sitting as it should. I also have tried downgrading to the firmware that I was using yesterday. That didn' work either.

HELP PLEASE!

This could be the result of a bad compass calibration. It needs to be carried out in an magnetically uncontaminated environment. At home is not a good idea. Outside in an open field is best. I‘ve even put away the Remote a few meters while turning my Mavic for the compass calibration.
