Thank you. I had issue with left hand gimbal damper.After watching this tutorial i have just successfully repaired/replaced for new damper after ordering a couple of new ones off Amazon. (mini 3 pro)
Man thanks for the video ! In the 4:20 are that covers screwed or just claw mounted ? If it is not screwed we just need to force it to remove by hand ? Thanks... I gonna change that damn gimbal rubbers..
My mini 4 pro crashed and now has two error codes: - 1D010003 Stabilizer motor overload. - 1C000310 Camera lens error. In this case, is it more advisable to change the entire gimbal? I appreciate your response!
Hi your video was very helpful but I’m afraid I messed something up when I click the on button and hold it to turn on it does not beep or adjust the motors it just stays blinking ( the battery lights ) with no camera view on the remote
It is highly recommended to follow the necessary calibration procedures using the appropriate software tools after any gimbal replacement or repair. Here are some detailed points to consider: 1) Stabilization Issues: The primary function of the gimbal is to stabilize the camera. Without proper calibration, the gimbal may not counteract the drone's movements correctly, leading to shaky or unstable footage. 2) Image Distortion: Improper calibration can cause the camera to tilt or rotate unintentionally, resulting in distorted or skewed images and videos. 3)Constant Adjustments: A poorly calibrated gimbal may drift from its set position, requiring constant manual adjustment. This can be particularly problematic during critical filming or photography sessions. Gimbal drift can also cause the camera to fail to return to its neutral position after movement, leading to inconsistent and unreliable performance. 4) Unexpected Movements: The gimbal might exhibit unexpected movements that can distract or confuse the pilot, increasing the risk of accidents or crashes. 5) Firmware Conflicts: There can be conflicts with the drone's firmware if the gimbal is not calibrated correctly, leading to software errors or glitches.
I had a problem taking of today on a sandy beach one of the rotor trowed sand in my gimball how likely is it that the motors are broken? Im at a holiday so i dont have the tools to take it apart
Hi my drone crushed and gimbal mouth broken Authorized technical service told me that it has an issue with motherboard as well and they told me that i need to replace the drone itself It doesn’t make sense seems to me They didn’t give me any option for repairing the drone itself. What do you think about this?
witch calibration tool do you use? i replaced the motor of a mini 4 pro gimbal but i need to recalibrate it but i don't find the software for the mini 4 pro can you help me with it?
I dropped my drone and the gimbal partially dislodged. I was able to reposition it without any apparent damage to the rubber housing. While the gimbal seems to function correctly, I am now receiving a "camera lens error" message and the camera is unable to focus on close objects. What could be causing this issue?
@@howfixit I took my drone to a local repair shop yesterday. and yes as you said the issue was because the gimbal transmission cable was damaged, so it was a quick fix.. Thanks 👍.Your Video was very Helpful but i could not get myself to open it on my own 😂.
@josiahfernandes ya rite his video was helpful.... he only took the whole thing apart not a video of how to replace gimbal rubber or any transmission.
By systematically examining these symptoms and performing the recommended tests, you can accurately differentiate between a damaged gimbal motor and a malfunctioning transmission cable. Proper diagnosis will help you address the issue efficiently and ensure your DJI Mini 4 Pro is back to optimal performance. Here are some Symptoms and Diagnostic Steps: 1. Gimbal Motor Issues: Typically manifest as jerky movements, unusual noises (such as grinding or buzzing), or a complete failure to move. The gimbal may also not hold its position correctly, drifting or shaking uncontrollably. 2. Transmission Cable Issues: Often result in intermittent or no communication between the camera and the drone's main board. This can lead to the camera feed cutting out, failure to respond to gimbal commands, or error messages related to gimbal connection. 3. Check the Motors: Look for visible signs of damage such as cracks, deformation, or burnt components on the gimbal motors. Any physical damage is a strong indicator that the motor needs replacement. 4. Inspect the Cable: Examine the transmission cable for signs of wear, kinks, cuts, or loose connections. A damaged cable can interrupt the signal transmission, causing the gimbal to malfunction. Error Messages and Logs: 5. Gimbal Motor Errors: The DJI Fly app or DJI Assistant 2 software often displays specific error codes for gimbal motor issues. Refer to the user manual or support documentation to decode these messages. 6. Transmission Cable Errors: Look for errors indicating a lost connection or communication failure between the gimbal and the main controller. These errors point towards issues with the transmission cable. Manual Testing: 1. Gimbal Motor Functionality: Manually move the gimbal to see if it responds smoothly or exhibits resistance. If the motor struggles or makes noise during movement, it is likely damaged. 2. Cable Flex Test: Gently flex the transmission cable while observing the camera feed. If the feed cuts in and out or the gimbal stops responding as you move the cable, it suggests a fault in the cable. Component Swapping: 1. Test with a Known Good Motor: If possible, swap the suspected faulty motor with a known good motor. If the issue resolves, the motor was the problem. If it persists, the transmission cable might be at fault. 2. Test with a New Cable: Similarly, replace the transmission cable with a new one to see if the issue is resolved. If the gimbal functions correctly with a new cable, the old cable was malfunctioning. Gimbal Motor Issues: 1. Symptoms: Jerky movements, unusual noises, failure to hold position. 2. Diagnosis: Visual inspection for physical damage, manual movement test, error messages specific to motor issues, and motor calibration tests. Transmission Cable Issues: 1. Symptoms: Intermittent or no camera feed, failure to respond to commands, gimbal connection errors. 2. Diagnosis: Visual inspection for cable damage, flex test, error messages related to communication failures, and replacing the cable to check for resolution.
Where is the software to calibrate the gimbal. I replaced the roll motor and now the yaw is in a different direction I followed your calibration tutorial, but there is no product code for the mini 4 pro. I really need help.
Can’t believe it can be fixed at home. Thanks for the confidence boost!
great video, it saved me today. All went well, drone is fixed (exchange of gimbal rubbers)
Thanks! Your video help me what i need buy 🤣
Thank you. I had issue with left hand gimbal damper.After watching this tutorial i have just successfully repaired/replaced for new damper after ordering a couple of new ones off Amazon. (mini 3 pro)
I had an issue with gimbal, now will try to fix it myself . Great video, many thanks 🙏
Thanks man, I really appreciate it
A dog jumped up and ripped out the gimbal rubber, thanks for your video, it was easy to repair!
Thanks for this! I lost my roll motor, this help me out greatly! But wow these parts are tiny!
Great video, fixed my broken gimbal
Thank you!
Man thanks for the video ! In the 4:20 are that covers screwed or just claw mounted ? If it is not screwed we just need to force it to remove by hand ? Thanks... I gonna change that damn gimbal rubbers..
Can you confirm the calibration theory? It's said online you can now do it within the DJI fly app. Confirm?
If show gimbal stuck, which parts normally should be replace?
How much cost the camera and from where can insure a safe and original prt? Thank youuuu
Good day. I’m planning to change gimbal cable at home. After replacing the cable also need service calibration?
My mini 4 pro crashed and now has two error codes:
- 1D010003 Stabilizer motor overload.
- 1C000310 Camera lens error.
In this case, is it more advisable to change the entire gimbal?
I appreciate your response!

3:27 i think i damaged the adhesive pad how to change that or is it necessary?

You can access the gimbal calibration in the DJI fly app

Perhaps the reason is a damaged gimbal transmission cable or camera module faulty
