Green Horn from Tejas

[Uno]

New around these parts, just wondered in off the trail. Had a Spark that I flew for years and was still in perfect condition when I gave it to a friend. Picked up the Mavic 2 pro and while I only have about 5 hours on it I do enjoy it greatly.

I guess like many people I found the forum while searching for an issue I was having. After several hours without issue I started getting gimbal overload errors and choppy movement. I think I read most threads that had the word gimbal in it. While installing a tiffen filter today I discovered a piece of tape on the back of the gimbal. Two ears on the tape had come loose and would cause it to bind. Looks like shipping tape but no pull on it for removal.

Greetings from sunny, AZ. Must be a great upgrade from the Spark. What do you think is the best feature of your new bird?

I'm a Spark flyer myself.

It's probably the one piece of tape that new owners don't realize it's there.

Take the tape off since it's giving you errors and see what happens, you can always put it back.

I had one hiding up in there with the MA2.

Welcome to the Forum.

Removing the tape corrected the issue. The tape has two ears on it that bend around the back of the gimbal, the two ears had come loose and as the gimbal moved they would drag on the main body and cause the error.

Hi from the Houston Texas area. Where in Texas are you?

I have a home and work in the DFW area but also have a home in North Texas just off the Red River. Right now I spend the bulk of my time in Dallas but next year plan to start limiting my time in Dallas to as little as absolutely needed.
