Weird jerky movement all of sudden Mavic 2 pro

Questions & Answers
1

A few weeks ago I had a fly away - it was weird becuae I had a premonition and had double checked my props and battery but I wound up completely losing battery (still lost) broke a front leg and props -ran ito a tree and dove to the ground.

I ordered a new leg and replaced the bad leg. I have had several flights since then and at random times I get sudden jerky behaviour as you will see in this video. Tonight when it happened I hit -RTH and within about 15secs it corrected itself and then I was able to fly again.

Before the crash and still I was having erroneous obstacle warnings - tonight flying in an open sky seems the sunset was causing obstacle warnings - -

so a mix of things - I did do some calibrations after I replaced the leg - imu but I think I need to do more or maybe there is something else I should check??

thanks for any insights

cheers

Definitely looks like a gimbal motor issues I guess caused by hitting the tree in the unfortunate fly away.
A gimbal calibration through the Go4 App might be worth a try. Does the gimbal make and sounds when powered on and doing its start up routine?

Mine went through a stage of just stopping mid flight with the warning of braking, centre sticks.

My fix: download

Then recalibrate the vision sensors this should stop the random braking during flight.

Yes -I think I need to spend more time in calibration - the thing is I am able to film and move fine -then it happens all of a sudden -then I can go back to moving fine again. I have the assistant I don’t remember if I used it too when I replaced the arm or not but I was having issues like you mention before the crash -no intensified with the sudden jerkiness :frowning:

Is a strange one, definitely run through the assistant calibration just to be sure you’ve done it and have another quick flight, see how you get on. I’m sure the guys will be along to throw a few more scenarios in to the mix too soon. :crossed_fingers:

I’d give the gimbal ribbon cable and its four connections a good close inspection and re-make all the connections.

Or just replace to make sure it’s in good working order.

A blooming fiddly job that. #BeenThereDoneThat … albeit an MP.
