Mavic Gimbal Ribbin Cable

[EightyTu]

Hey Everyone,

Looks like I'm having a gimbal problem with my Mavic Pro.
I'm thinking its the gimbal ribbin cable. Just want to confirm before I start ordering
Would love any input!

Camera still works, I'm able to take photos/video, focusing works.
Everytime I start the Mavic it does the auto gimbal calibration but the gimbal always ends up looking down.
I tried to do a gimbal calibration using the DJI app it freezes at 5%.
While the drone is on the gimbal keeps doing the calibration.
Overhead warning, I can't control the gimbal pitch.

Thank you for the help!

Di you buy this used? The ribbon cable thats in there could be your problem.

Ahhh is that the problem?
I just ordered a new ribbon Rantow Flexible Gimbal PCB, should I cancel and get a DJI?

You can try to install that ribbon, and it might work. If it doesnt work, I can sell you one that does.

During installation, see if it calibrates. Be sure to watch it closely, and pull the battery if you see or smell smoke. When I install new ribbons, I dont put the top body back on until Im sure everything is working. It's easier to take internal component temperatures with my temp gun and also see if it smokes and where the smoke is coming from.

Thanks! If it doesn't work I'll hit you up.

What do you charge for a Ribbin/gimbal repair?
