    Gimbal Motor Overloaded- Phantom 4 Pro

    Sorry I hadn't got back to you guys in a while. So I ended up sending my Phantom 4 Pro in. I had all sorts of trouble getting the correct address on my shipping label, took 3 days just to sort that mess out, so finally got it on its way to California. I sure hope they repair it correctly because...

    P4 Pro horizon problems or not

    I have had the phantom 4 pro for 3 months now and works perfectly everywhere except for the gimbal. I have encountered the "horizon tilt" problem multiple times. The best way I have found to get around it is leaving the "gimbal roll adjustment" on your screen while videoing or taking photos, so...

    Gimbal Motor Overloaded- Phantom 4 Pro

    It must have been a fluke. The next time I flew it, it was fine again, but when I got home and turned it on in my living room, it showed the dreaded "gimbal motor overloaded" again. I tried the same thing I did earlier and It would work for like half of my flight, but still giving me fits. To...

    Gimbal Motor Overload

    I too updated firmware with DJI Assistant, but I did not try to calibrate it by aiming at the screen. I may have to give that a shot just to see. I've been looking hard on forums to find a solution, but nothing has worked yet.

    Video running , take photo. Question .

    The photo you take while recording video will be the same resolution as your video. So if you were recording 1080p, photo would be 1920X1080

    Gimbal Motor Overloaded- Phantom 4 Pro

    Monday Sept. 11, I took off like normal, then on my way to where I was videoing, the gimbal cocked to the right and started shaking like crazy. I hurried and brought the drone back and landed. Then I turned the drone off, restarted it, and on the DJI GO app it said "gimbal motor overloaded." So...
