Hello everyone! Just started using a new DJI Air 3S and noticed that when it’s powered on, the gimbal appears slightly yawed to the right (~ 3°) instead of pointing perfectly straight ahead. Horizon seems level and live feed looks fine (as far as I can tell), but the camera isn’t visually centred r…

Replacing is good. End of “issue”. They replace really quickly, too .. judging from the experiences posted on GADC over the years.

Should’ve gone to Specsavers :winking_face_with_tongue:

(ends up in exactly the same spot) @SparkyFPV I thought about it, but wasn’t sure whether I should “settle” on such a solution (trying to manually match it). It’s a brand new unit, so I first …

@stanley out of interest, does it rest in a different position if you power the drone on with no controller connected? And if you then power the controller on, does it move 3° ?

I have always found their chat help very helpful once through to a real person. I ask chatbot to talk to a support agent

[image] stanley: talk to DJI :+1:

I am talking to them. But they go straight to replacing. I was hoping perhaps they would say if it’s an actual issue. I don’t want to waste the drone unless absolutely necessary.
