How many flights? Are your gimbal rubber bands in place?

Hi this was the maiden flight and all looks good with the rubbers

If you had remembered to remove the gimbal clamp, then Im afraid you got a bad unit and I would look to return it. In any case, if you didnt remove the gimbal clamp, you would have gotten a gimbal overload message, not gimbal vibration warning.

Ok thanks for help

I've been flying a few months and just got the warning. I immediately landed and checked out the gimbal which looked fine. After a second flight I gently exercised the gimbal, and a small pebble fell out that had been blown into the gimbal mechanism by the wind generated by my first takeoff. Tried again with several takeoffs and landing and all was well. Maybe relevant here, or maybe not. Worth checking though....

Were you getting a gimbal vibration or gimbal overload message?

Gimbal vibration... I went to play back the flight in the DJGo4 app, but that error did not show up in the playback... had the error on two flights until I cleared it.

It only happens to my mav on the quiet props, hence I don't really use them anymore.

OP, what do you think you will do? Return it?

The props can cause gimbal vibration if they are out of balance.
Try swapping in your spare set, or swapping the props and see if that changes the problem.

Bought some "quiet" props on Amazon and got a bad gymbal vibration with message, swapped them out for some Best Buy carbon fiber props and got rid of vibration also gained about 10 min. flight time and speed!

Gained 10 minutes flight time? Unless something was seriously wrong with your other set of props, this is near impossible.

was only getting about 20 min from the other plastic props not factoring in wind
