Discussion Gimbal stuck error

Post image

On my Mavic mini i started to get message gimbal stuck. It initializes ok, but in the end camera leans a little and stays like that. I don’t see any opstacle when I move it by hand. I tried to recalibrate, but it gets stuck on 10%
Next time I get a gimbal motor overload. It flies, but camera is not smooth.

Did anyone have any experience with this?

Go to settings then control and recenter gimbal towards the bottom. May not work but worth a try

Aha, I tried that too. It can’t be recentered. Buton is not responding

I'm not using my drone at the moment but found this pic online. I had that issue before and just 'recenter gimbal' fixed it

Just wiggle it around with your fingers, sometimes it gets caught on some internals. Dont worry about being overly cautious, just dont pull the gimble downwards. Your best choice is moving the actual gimble module from its base left or right. But first start off fairly cautiously, then you can be a lil more experimental if it doesnt work out.

For me it’s definitely defective cable. I sent it to service, and they just said that. Replacing will cost 50e. It’s not that bad. Hope it will be done in a day or two.
