Mavic Mini / Shakey Gimbal

[srl4831]

Hello,

Ive been getting these random shaky spots, a few seconds at a time, in my footage, where the gimbal/camera on my Mavic Mini is, well... doing what it's doing... (link to an example/of this behavior/clip below).

I'm pretty sure tit's just that he gimbal is damaged in some way, but I thought I would run it by the community to see if I might be overlooking an easy fix... as I'd rather not have to ship it back to DJI for a refresh unless absolutely necessary.

In any case, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott

Your link does not work - I am also leery of clicking on unknown sites. How about uploading it to youtube?

ya know.. I wondered about that... after I pressed the post button (how people would see a link to my NAS). I hope I didn't break any rules... I think that might have been my first post (yikes!).

In any case, I completely understand, and thank you for your response.

Yes, Sir.. I'll head right on over to YouTube, get 'er posted, then and shoot you a link.

Regards,
Scott

Hello again... I'm almost done with the YouTube version of that post, and I got to a part where it asks if I want to post it as Public or Private. My first inclination is to go public with it... and I dont expect that you should know all my circumstances and/or what sort of posts I should be making... but I'm actually kind of new to the posting part of my online activities.. and its been my experience that it never really hurts to ask a question when in doubt.. so.. there's no glaring no-no's or 'look out for's' in posting the post were talking about here to the YouTiube Public area... right? That you can see anyway...

Thanks again for your guidance! Much appreciated.

I think there is an option "only with link". So only someone knowing the exact link can see the video. That is what I do in such cases....

I had a situation where the Mini video looked like I had set the Gimbal to FPV mode. When I brought it back I got gimbal motor overload warnings. Manually by hand moved the gimbal up/down left/right and that fixed it. I think it's sensitive to any dirt getting in there.

How old is your Mini? My Mavic Pro Platinum had a similar issue after less than 1 year of operation. I had care refresh, so DJI had me send it back. My choices were to "cash in" my care refresh (+$60) and they would mail me back a refurbished drone, or for me to pay for what their techs found needed to be replaced: the gimbal flex and mechanism, which would cost $250. I went for the care refresh and now I have a perfectly working MPP again. Hopefully, this one will last longer than 1 year.

I had the exact problem with my Mavic Pro some time ago, and sent it to repair. The problem was only a tiny dust particle that got into the gimbal mechanism. Once removed, everything worked fine again.

I suppose this happened because I took off from a very dusty ground, which produced a dust cloud. Now I prefer taking off from my hand.

Hope this helps.

Are you using any filters? Mine got very shaky with an ND filter.

My mavicpro did the same thing after getting some dust in it . I used one of those cans of air and moved the gimble while spraying it with air . I couldn’t feel anything but after 2 attempts at cleaning it all was good again . One tiny spec can make trouble for these little birds

I had a similar situation but blew it out with a camera lens brush/puffer and moved it around manually and it was fine again
