I purchased a gimbal from Best Buy the other day and got around to installing it yesterday.
When I first installed it, seems like was it super off balance, so I came to the internet for help...and found this forum. I am using the HERO 4 Black, so I didn't add any weights.
To try and fix the problem I have opened up the battery tray and routed the cables. I have the HDMI cable running around the outside the compartment not touching anything. The silver disc when I moved the cable around moved away from the edges in the middle of the compartment and was sitting about 1 to 2 mm from the circuit board on the rear of the disc.
Solo and gimbal works good on my desk I even get 8 satellite GPS lock INDOORS, but take-off (go flying) nada no dice, the camera flops to one side. While on my desk the light is green on the back of the gimbal, but in flight it flashed red/green. I am still getting a video feed and can start and stop recording. But the video is useless.
Another issue I have seen is while its on my desk the camera looks like it moves in the 90 degree arc, but when it reaches 90, it will stop shake the controller and then the display 90 on the controller (Like it should) but then the display will jump to 84 and the camera doesn't move.
Not sure what my next move should be, other than wait for the firmware update first, then put in a ticket with 3DR if that doesn't work or return the gimbal and get another one which they won't have anymore until the 14th of Oct.
