Mavic 2 zoom new gimbal registration

[Ideaday]

I just installed new gimbal on my Mavic 2 Zoom.
Does anyone know how to register the gimbal so my Smart Controller can operate it?
Thank you?

If installed correctly, I would think that it would work automatically with the smart controller

 

[Ideaday]

I wish... DJI says it has to be registered. But won't tell me how, other than sending it Camrise.

DJI does not mean to register it....this is what happens when you deal with DJI's third party service techs....You must serialize the gimbal in order for the Drone to let it operate?
WAIT CORRECTION
First have you calibrated your new gimbal using PYTHON.

 

[Ideaday]

No I have not calibrated via Python.
Could you please elaborate on how I can do that?
Thank you

Swapping cameras on a Mavic 2 series aircraft is just that. I’ve not seen what you describe.
Where did the swapped camera come from?

An old post states that if you swap the whole assembly to include the IMU it is a simple swap. If you don't swap the IMU then you must calibrate the gimbal. Calibrating it is not a long or hard process.

Change Mavic 2 Zoom camera to Mavic 2 Pro Camera

Sep 10, 2021

Hello. I'm getting impatient waiting on the Mavic 3. I was think about buying the Mavic 2 Pro camera and swapping out my Mav 2 Zoom camera. The camera costs $765 dollars. What do you recommend?

That's what I thought.

At the price you paid, it should be the complete camera assembly, which is fully swappable with no additional calibration, updates, or anything. Plug and play swappable. Just not something you want to do in the field.

You can calibrate the gimbal via python .

Gimbal calibration was never necessary previously when swapping camera between the Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom. Plug and Play.

He has installed new gimbal and in this case calibration is required

 

[Cafguy]

You MUST calibrate the new gimbal using python or it will not work correctly. Your gimbal must know where "0" is it won't until you do the python cal.

I have swapped cameras on these aircraft over 40 times and NEVER needed to calibrate ANYTHING. Without specific information on what “new gimbal” the OP
“installed”, we are only guessing at what will resolve his issue.
