Camera problems....help!

[clemsondude90]

I am having a problem with the camera vibrating when I point it downward. Any ideas why? I have it up to date with firmware update.

Did you re-calibrate? And/or is this at the gimbal stops?

Is it vibrating or is the image inverting back and forth?

Does it only vibrate when it points down?

It only vibrates when pointed slightly down to all the way down. The camera also makes a noise when you point it down. It’s a shaky image

No it’s a shaky image

Here’s a link to video footage of what it does

Hmmm.....This looks like a mechanical issue. I would guess with possibly a slightly un-balanced prop, when the gimbal is near the stops. This vibration as I said looks to be coming from elsewhere and not a gimbal issue. You can try a gimbal calibration, but if that doesn't work, then there is most likely another area that is causing the vibrations. Could be wrong, but that is what it appears to me. The video appears stable at other points, which is a bit odd for an induced vibration.

Yea but it does the same thing when sitting on the ground without rotors spinning

Ah! Well you failed to mention that. If that is the case, try the calibration first. Otherwise you could have a noisy gimbal pitch motor, just my guess, at least in the area of 75-90 degrees anyway. Not certain that might be easily cured. Others may have suggestions for you.
