IMU calibration failure

Amac123 · Jun 23, 2020

Hi guys,
I wonder if someone might to be able to give give me a little help please.
I was planning to go out early tomorrow morning to do some river/bridge shoots.

So last night got everything charged up, today updated firmware.

But I am getting a message that the IMU calibration is required, which I have started to do. However once I start it, it is just getting stuck.
Bottom left of screen is the number 2, and only 2 of the small blue indicator lights are light up.

I have it on a flat surface, and have left it just sat there for 15 mins, but still no luck?

Is there anything else I can try....?

Many thanks for any help,
Alex

So it is getting to here, where it has completed the horizontal calibration and you have turned it on to its side?

But not getting past that to here:

hi there,
Yes as in the op image, no I have not tried turning on its side..
Is that worth trying then?
Thanks

Well then you are not following the instructions - step 2, which it is asking for, requires you to turn it as shown onto its left side. That's why the calibration isn't completing.

The instructions do not say turn it on its side, just put it in the position shown.
Which looks like on its normal position, thats where it get stuck?
As in the first pic…
