Now the gimbal moves but bounces back and forth, not its normal calibration. It has been sitting in the...

    Gimble making noise but it's not doing anything

    Finally, removed the aftermarket ribbon and installed a ribbon from DJI. I am now getting movement when I power it up but it is just aggressively bouncing all over the place.

    Gimble making noise but it's not doing anything

    I power the unit on and it does not move at all. I hear the gimbal making a scratching noise like the brain is wanting it to do something but no response.

    I feel you are correct. I assume something like this is not covered under the warrantee?

    Crashed today...

    Thanks for you help. It was not under the trees, out in the open. The whole flight from exiting my truck to end was strange and abnormal. to start I turned the bird and controls on and it was difficult to get calibrated. The controller kept saying something I couldn't understand. After 3...

    Crashed today...

    I spoke to a DJI rep today and in my case, he was quick to say pilot error (as expected). I don't want to send it in and it cost to repair half of what I paid for the device. I asked what about it being a malfunction of the craft and he said the can tell what happened with the use of some...

    Crashed today...

    I had the same thing happen, meaning crash. Except I don't know if I flew it into, the wind took it, or it malfunctioned but it hit the tree 20' up. My heart sunk being it was only my third flight. I walked up to it and the camera was laying separate from the craft. I though immediately there...
