Mini 2 camera problem

[Manpreet Singh Bhatia]

Hi

I have seen a peculiar issue. If I put the camera facing down and fly forward. My camera jitter at the end of forward motion and goes about 10 degree up. Every time I fly pointing downwards

Did any one face similar issue

Yes, I have the same problem in Normal mode. I have learnt to point the camera down about 85 degrees maximum now. That has seemed to stop the problem and that 5 degrees less isn't really noticeable. Also, by not pointing down 90 degrees, I'm not limited to the 8 kph or so maximum speed that happens when pointing straight down.

Would you say it is a software bug...I am relieved then

I'm not sure. There are a few Youtube videos that mention the same thing was happening in Sport mode but a firmware update fixed it.

But then I've read a few posts on here which suggest that it happens because the gimbal has reached its maximum downward movement and then when the drone is braking the gimbal tries to compensate by moving past its maximum position and a failsafe kicks in which raises the gimbal slightly to avoid damage.

Have a look at these posts.

BUG: Mini 2 Gimbal Tilt Issues in Sport Mode

Has anyone had issues with the gimbal in sport mode? It regularly tilts downwards itself but also more frustrating is when banking left or right the gimbal doesn't level with the horizon and instead tilts on an angle left or right depending which way I'm banking. It's not a constant issue but...
