LOL! Weird way to generate sales, a video claiming it broke in the first 2 minutes.
OPs post will generate clicks, and since the links to DJI are first in the description, that's where people would look.

At this point it appears that OsitaLV was right in the first place, the delay was due to a gimbal flaw and they decided to put just a bit more glue to the first lot.
Not to be off topic, but since we are talking about the gimbal here, I will tell you that I am not impressed with the gimbal cover on the Pro. I thought DJI would have improved on that. It actually looks like it will cause damage to the gimbal by the method of how you have to remove and install. You physically have to push the guide I would call it, over the yaw and pitch motors. It pulls the gimbal down quite a ways before it seats into the guide cradle. You will see what Im talking about when you get yours. Time for you 3D printer maniacs to get busy on this one. Ok, as for me?, the gimbal guard for the M2 is in my judgement, a POS.
Sorry guys,
Sorry guys,

Sorry guys,
The gimbal lock has been a pain in the butt since the Phantom series. Mavic Pro and Air gimbal locks are a pain, P4P is a pain too. Im sure PP and Fstop will come out with some aftermarket ones if they havent already.
No mention of glue there. I think "material" failure would more aptly describe the problem if it is glue thats causing the problem. IMHO, I dont think that bad glue could be described as a design failure.

So far I have spoken to 4 posters in different forums & none of them own or know the person who owns it but they all have the same pics,I think it’s click bait
LOL so you'd say that is not a "seriuos design failure" in the gimbal? It shouldn't be glued in the first place!
Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see.
**** the main reasons I bought the Mavic 2 Pro was the ""IMPROVED GIMBAL"" as it was supposed to be more rugged and robust.
Thanks to all early adopters who are willing to do beta testing for DJI. I would be really pissed if this happened to me. DJI will not cross ship a replacement, even when they have sent you a product that is defective, right out of the box. You will have to return it, wait for them to receive it and then wait in line for a replacement.
Why not? Glues are used in more places than you might think.
Why not use glue? The glue has never failed in any of the previous DJI products. Ive repaired a few (thousand) of them.
yes, but if you have 150000 products at risk you did that in the wrong way!
Great point. Many major manufacturers do, especially if it's as portable as a drone. At least they could offer cross-shipping as an option with a deposit of, say, $250 until they get your drone.
Many times, I have given loaner drones to customers while their drone is being repaired.
Yes, but if it was the glue in the article that your post refers to, dont you think DJI would have addressed the 150k units prerelease with the extra month they had?
