thanks again, just seems strange that it would only track a few degrees, don't see the point in that at all

many thanks look forward to getting it sorted. I did think I'd disabled it though

Inspire 1 :- A bit of a strange one, when turning clock / counterclockwise the gimbal is also panning cw/cww by approx 10 deg. Latest firmware installed, everything else ok. Has anyone else seen this and better still, found a solution?

If the camera droops when powered off then the gimbal will be constantly having to drive to keep the camera in the correct position. This will dramatically affect the life of the unit.

all I did was to attach the hood and use small lead weights placed on the hood so that the gimbal remained level and didnt droop. I then weighed the lead and formed a counter balance lead weight and attached it to the inside of the hood with a small self tapper. Take into account the weight of...

no reason to change the mount though, is it. I've been happy with the quality and so have my clients.

The original cameras, X3 and Z5, which i have 4 of in total, produce cracking images, yet will not fit the I2. Sorry, DJI, but why change the mount unless it was to generate more profit and make the older kit obsolete ?.

Just been in touch with ARPAS and had this link forwarded. Hope it may be of use. https://publicapps.caa.co.uk/docs/33/InformationNotice2016073.pdf

er...........

maybe there is a problem here.... "Figure 1 water based fire extinguisher (Could be used for 36KV electrical fire)" suspect cut and paste :-)

far lighter camera therefore the design IS fit for purpose.

explain then why the X3 has suffered far fewer breaks than the X5 with a far larger % in use. Is it only X5 owners who are heavy handed?. Read the thread regarding materials being used.

theres a difference between crashing and a heavier than normal landing. Lots of these gimbals have been reported as being damaged with zero contact, just slightly higher G forces on landing. Obviously, falling out of the sky from 200 ft is going to hurt, but a heavy landing?

there's lots of complaints about the X5 gimbal being too weak. Check the X5 thread. Keep me posted as I had a damaged gimbal which DJI at first refused to repair only offering to sell me a replacement. After a lot of arguing they finally did repair for 340 euros, rather than the 2,099 euros...

yep Howard, I understand your annoyance. I only realised the balance issue when, everytime I shut the battery off, the camera swung vertical. Then it dawned on me that the motors might be driving too hard.
