Possible Solution to Gimbal Yaw Adjustment- Discussion

[FlyingCircles]

Haven't tried the magnet re-positioning trick yet. Instead, I have been exploring the feasibility of reprogramming the MLX90316 (Rotary Position Sensor) which gets it's input from the magnet.

It would nice if DJI included a yaw adjustment in their DJI Go app but for whatever reason they have omitted this very needed feature. So in the mean time I hope to re-calibrate the hall sensor to point the camera/gimbal to straight ahead like it should be.

Let's know your success.

I am hoping that other tech savvy forum users have contributing information on this idea.

You guys can calibrate the forward facing position (Yaw) of your camera by performing the gimbal calibration on a level surface while the P4 or P4P(Advanced) is facing upwards as show in the picture.. It will do a few more movements compared to the standard gimbal calibration.. It works trust me..

Just to confirm, this procedure you described works on the Phantom 3 series?

I am not sure about the phantom 3 but the phantom 4 it does work on. Try it and see if it works. It can't hurt if it doesn't work.

Nope, doesn't work on the P3P.
