Hi - I've had a Pro for a year with no crashes. My camera wobbles with sudden movement now and I tried to calibrate it but it failed at 31 %
every time I tried. I re-loaded the DJI 4 app because was using the same one for a year and tried again. Same wobble and the calibrate funtion
went past 31% but fails at 52%. Dang it. I very carefully check and everything in and around the camera area looks like it is connected properly.
Any ideas? Thanks- - Larry

have you made sure the gimbal is seated correctly under the anti drop hook at the back of the mountimg plate it is possible for it to become detached after a lot of flights even though you have not crashed its a well known cause of camera shake

Hi Larry - you can sometimes get this when the mechanism that hangs the camera gimbal comes out from behind a tab at the back. Hard to describe but there are two plates, one bolted to the Mavic, and the other hangs on 4 rubber band type suspension loops. It's the hanging plate that then sits under this L shaped tab:

If you open this image, you'll see the tab at the bottom. If the floating bit gets the wrong side of the tab, then it just hangs with nothing to control it and it will move all over the place.

Snap - OMM ... Though I took much longer trying to figure out the way to explain it ... well done!
