Hi again I got my spark sorted the problem was the firmware was wrong they had to load a new programme into my spark and it works great. Having only paid £380 for the drone combo I wasn't going to pay a few repair offers each over £280 each. Found this company charged me a total of £74.00 which was brilliant. Thank you once again
What was the behavior of the faulty unit you received . The one i just got off ebay will "sort of" work if i hold it level when the drone turns on . Ive tried calibrating the IMU , Running the latest firmware , calibrating the gimbal with the "python method" . If i leave it alone and power the drone on it goes MENTAL !!!! shaking all over the place then the overload "safety" feature kicks in and it just hangs there ... doing nothing . What id love to know is if there's a correlation between the gimbal IMU and the IMU in the drone , does it use both to determine its position . could a faulty cable be the problem ??? wish i new more to diagnose this properly .
Hey! Thanks for the video, it helped a lot. Unfortunately I do not know if my new motor is broken too (amazon) or I am doing smth wrong with calibrating. What happened after you startet it first time with new gimbal?
The calibration failed (see calibration video link in description). Other symptoms included the gimbal not having a full range of movement and the camera continually pointing up and to the right, not straight ahead.
Thanks for the video. Does somebody know how to free the cable from the gimbal back hood? There is some kind of clamp. Upd: it has bumps which can be pressed from the inside through holes in the hood

Thank you for your info, on the spark there is not much you can do I.E gimbal calibration wise. What puzzles me no errors are shown up on the transmitter but in some videos I have seen loads of errors being shown in red including gimbal an giro issues etc. What part of the world are you from don’t suppose I could send the drone to you. Kind regards Irvine
I have completed the a full calibration which was required when installing a new gimbal motor. Look in this video's description for a link to another video that will give you a step-by-step method to perform the calibration. I am not an expert but this would be the first step to troubleshooting your issue. I do not know the repair cost. Let me know if you have further questions.
Watched this after my spark drone hit branches. I thought it was ok but I noticed the gimbal moved all over the place when I tried flying the sensors kept going off in any direction clear spaces as well and flying was erratic Iam from Portsmouth in the UK do you think it’s the cable. Also noticed the drone shuts down with props off and hand held. Any ideas going to repair drone companies costs as much as paid for the spark .So do I go for a new drone regards irvine
Hi Irvine, I believe the proximity sensor and the gimbal are different systems, do not share any wiring and thus should not be related. I would suggest recalibrating the gimbal as a first step in troubleshooting (see in video description). I have no experience with repair companies.
Will you please advise what tools, i.e. the ones to remove the fasteners -- are needed? are they phillips or another kind of fastener for the covers and camera mounts?

Where can I buy the spare part?
Hi, thanks for the video, could you please tell me which kind of glue is used for the camera? Looks like a silicone one. Thanks
rubber glue

Thanks for this video helped me replace my gimbal motors.
Thanks
I have a spark can you do the new motor install for me. I ll pay you

Did you try calibrating using the video I have posted in my description? It was necessary to get my new gimbal functioning properly.

Phillips for all camera associated fasteners.
Is there any way to access the motor of the bearing of the gimble?
Did you stick the silicones that were cut / removed? if so, which glue did you use?
I cut the hardened silicone off and did not replace it.
Do you think there's any danger that the flats will come loose while you're flying? thank you very much
Was the new motor about $15? Or is that just the shell
Very useful,thank you very much
What’s the point of this video if there’s no talking? Just a memory of fixing a part?
I thought the video was alright. I would’ve enjoyed hearing something other than background noise
Talk man
zoom fucking in
