    Solo Gimbal Spinning out of Control

    Yeah I sent my old one back and they sent me a refurbished one that works fine. But now I know that the "water logged" one probably still works fine, I just hadn't realized that it was the mission planner settings in the actual drone that were preventing it from angling down. Hopefully they...

    Solo Gimbal Spinning out of Control

    UPDATE: A few days after trying those suggestions and a few minutes before throwing in the towel and buying a new gimbal, I decided to test it out one more time. To my surprise, the gimbal worked great: it stayed completely level when I moved the solo, didn't spin out of control, and didn't...

    Best Place to Buy Gimbal?

    Thanks for all the replies guys. Turns out I found a way to fix my gimbal so I won't be needing a new one (for now anyways). Sounds like it might be better to by one sooner than later cause they are becoming more limited and prices are slowly rising.

    3dr solo gimbal tilt problem no issue [ FIX IT SOLVED!!!]

    I recently had a similar issue after a minor crash. My gimbal would not pan down when I hit the trigger. However, when I went into a smart shot it would sometimes give me full control, and others it would let me pan down for a couple seconds and then move itself back up to 90 degrees...

    Solo Gimbal Spinning out of Control

    1. Yeah I figured it probably wasn't gonna do much anyways, especially since the gimbal started acting up immediately after it landed 2. That's looking more and more likely 3. I have practiced on other drones (although not as high end as the solo) so I'm familiar with the basics. However, I...

    Yeah, unfortunately it didn't work. The gimbal just kept on losing its mind. Thanks for the help though

    Solo Gimbal Spinning out of Control

    Hello, Just bought my solo a few days ago and have been flying it every chance I've had. Today on my 6th or 7th flight I came down to the ground too fast and the drone bounced off the ground fairly hard. It continued to fly fine but the gimbal was stuck pointing the camera up and to the...
