Gimbal completely looses it on 2nd flight

Kevin Nelson · Sep 15, 2015

First flight with gimbal, pretty much flawless. Second flight, not so much. The only variable was using a different battery.

How'd you make the gimbal do that? That was pretty cool.

What did you put in that second battery? THC?

It may have been cool, but to sort of quote Pee Wee Herman, "I didn't mean to do that"!

Mine did that once. I powered off everything, removed the GoPro and reattached making sure it was properly seated in the gimbal.

It hasn't given me any trouble again.

2-3 weeks and they'll be available right?

They forgot to mention our free battery is only for use with static mount as well.

Alls I can do now is laugh, I really wish I could just put it out of my mind and not care but with the twelve thousand hours between RCG before and now here, plus the ungodly amount of data I've used checking email,ups,best buy,3dr, forums like I've got ocd it's proly not going to happen.
