[Mavicmarcus]

Hi everyone just a quick question when my Mavic is turned off my camera and gimbal seem to go very loose and just flop about is this normal or should it be a bit stable still even without power on I’m sure when I first got it once I powered off it used to be a bit more stable I’ve included a picture to show what I mean if anyone can explain thanks

Normal

When the power is off, the motors should flop around, and thats why they make the gimbal lock to prevent it from getting damaged. When you power it on, the motors will hold straight and level position.

It’ll be limp until you put the gimbal clamp back on, which you should do when powered off.
