Help with Gimble issues

ByronD123 · Jun 3, 2017

I am re to my drone. After somewhat if a hard landing, my drone was working fine. Shortly after I began to experience major issues with the Gimble and camera.

I am using Assistant II to calibrate the camera. One of the most notable issues I see is that the calibration lines do not align...

I am using Firmware v. v01.03.0700
I downgraded to Firmware v01.03.0600 and then tested the calibration and still have the issue.
I have re-upgraded to the new firmware and still have the issue.

In addition, the camera has a mine of its own....It typically rolls to the back of the unit...

On my iPhone screen, I get the warning that the aircraft motors is overloaded, check to see if the gimble lock is still in place..

I also get an indicator that the simple motor is restarting...It never completes this.

Please help

You have 2 separate issues.

#1 Your gimbal going crazy is probably due to a torn gimbal flat ribbon cable, bad gimbal motor, or bad gimbal control board.

#2 FOA sensors need to be aligned. That's not your camera.

Check out this link, you can skip through most of it, calibration starts at 4m24s.

Hi, I had a similar problem (gimbal motor overload, gimbal restarting, etc). Gimbal was never able to calibrate. As mentioned above, I identified a torn gimbal motor ribbon. This was all before I had a change to fly the drone. I requested a refund from DJI and sent it back. I've heard horror stories of people asking for exchanges, so getting the refund and buying a new one should be the safer route. Anyway, hopefully your issue is not the same as mine was.
