Guess anything is worth a try, I will most likely try the FW refresh and see if it resolves the problem.

how i can refresh the firmware?

EDDSkitz · Mar 3, 2017

I'm gonna do the same... if you listen close and put a finger on the top motor you can hear and feel it constantly vibrating.... I'd say that will wear out the servo quickly for sure.

Hello, I did a FW refresh, no change at all. Gimbal motors still rattle on boot up, and camera does not centre. The refresh only takes a fraction of the time a full update does.

Hello, you need to refresh the aircrafts FW using the Assistant software on your computer, after you plug the drone into your PC with the double ended USB cable, you will see the option to refresh the FW.

Same, mine is still straight though...
As an engineer, those servos are NOT happy... I'm gonna leave the camera off until someone figures this out.

You gotta use the plate and calibrate the sensors... really easy

I did 3 times.... says calibration completes successfully.... then I restart..... that shows up

Well, it's pretty clear at this point that this firmware is broken, yet again...

But at least my gimbal shake on startup stopped[emoji851]

Hello, found out from a very reliable source that if you Camera does not centre after the FW update, do an IMU calibration, that will fix the problem. Also the gimbal motor rattle on boot up is normal now. If it persists after the boot up 4 or 5 seconds, then there is something wrong.

This is all wrong and just the same company line every time they break something.

The noise is not normal or good for it.

Sorry, just passing alone what I found out. The IMU cal did fix my camera not centering. As fir the gimbal motor noisy, mine only lasts that first few seconds, then even if I touch the gimbal motors I can't feel any vibration.

It's just the top Mount, the yaw motor... it's definitely making noise it wasn't before, but it's hard to hear over the fan, listen close, bet it's there.

EDDSkitz · Mar 3, 2017

Also did a few IMU, and everything else calibration.

EDDSkitz · Mar 3, 2017

Try to touch lightly like this while it's on, tell me if you feel any rumble at all... as I can assure you it did not prior to the update.

Hi YeeaaBoi,

Have you tried single finger swipe down?

The Editor said:
As mentioned above, that feature has been on iOS for over a year (and also works on Go 4) with just a swipe down.

It's too much of a hassle to swipe down when the gimbal operator has the full extended Hoodman hood on the iPad. It needs to be an instant click on the back of the remote.

There are some unexpected release notes:
? ISO value will be locked to 500 when shooting D-Log
? Disabled taking off with only one battery
? Adjusted limited fligh range in and around airport
Can anyone confirm what are practical consequences of these!?

When shooting in log format for most video cameras, the ISO gets locked. High end video cameras allow you to override the standard setting, but it does so by basically putting a note into the metadata which says that you've changed ISO. It's all a function of LOG or RAW formats.
