Hi all,
I just had my Mavic outside today for the first time and really enjoyed it.
I tried to send it up to record my wife coming home and as soon as it took off it flew backwards at a high rate of knots and consequently crashed. I couldn't get control.
I had the gimbal cover on (there was no way I was taking that off until I get the hang of this!), but it kicked it off and there is a small chip ont he edge of the camera housing.
Now when I start it up, I am getting an error message telling me:
'Motor overloaded - ensure gimbal clamp is removed'
I can move the gimbal round freely and I've made sure that the base plate is seated correctly, but when it is trying to initialise I am getting a click when it rotates fully - as if it had reached a stop point.
PANIC HAS SET IN!!!
I genuinely don't know what I could've done to prevent it - it went completely out of control and now I'm worried I'm in for a big repair bill!!
Any advice would be appreciated!!!
