Hi, ive had this on my mini 2...i believe it can be a result of dust and grit..this has happened to me also i see you landed and there was dust and small stones flying about..if you took off from there its easy some dust or grit went in...i use a manual rubber bellow dust cleaner from my dslr camera..and also now carry a thin clean artists brush to clean the crevices of the gimbal just in case some dust gets in...
I just had this problem with my Air 2s and found this video. Calibration didnt help. When I looked behind the gimbal, there were grains of sand on the back of it since I had flow at the beach the day before. It wasn't much in my opinion, but apparently it was just enough to throw the balance off. I stuck the drone gimbal in front of a desk fan for about 30 mins since that was the only air supply I had. After 30 mins, the sand was gone. I recalibrated and it is now working beautifully.
This is what I always use a landing pad . Plenty big enough to prevent dust and debris from getting up into the gimbal. Thanks for the heads up. This video may help many pilots that don’t use a pad or hand launch.
Got this the first time I took my mini 2 out. First flight was ok, the problem started after landing on dry tarmac to swap batteries. Gently manipulating the gimbal, blowing and recalibration fixed it. Lessons learned, use a landing pad and even tiny invisible amounts of debris can cause this.
10 minute video and it took 9 minutes to get to the answer. Gonna save you some time it was "calibrate your gimbal" and check for loose grass or dirt, but don't use compressed air.
Thank you! Some people might prefer to understand the whole scenario, while others may be interested only in the solution. Nevertheless, your contribution is highly appreciated.
I had the same issue with a Mini 2. The final solution was to send it back and use one of my refresh care times for a new Mini 2. Sometimes the gimbal is just bad from the factory. Everything mechanical has a certain fail rate. DJI drones are no different.
I have same problem. I think it's ridiculous that only with a desktop can you fix problems like this. Seems like dji doesn't really care and probably just want us to spend more money instead of repairing the drone that already cost too much
Hi Khalid. Thank you for showing the problem with the gimbal. May I ask which app you used to make a recording of that footage for DJI? (It was showing in the top right corner of your screen). Greetings from Canada
OK I was taking some top-down shots of recent flood waters in my city 3 days ago, increased altitude to 120m as as I rotated the drone to point west, i noticed the GIMBAL MOTOR OVERLOAD warning on the screen of the R/C for a split second. I immediately decreased altitude and the the message never reappeared. 2 Days AFTER that WARNING came on screen, I was flying my mini pro 3 in SPORT mode and noticed the live feed on the screen which I was not recording, started going wavey. I had assumed it was just mini turbulence or such. Discovered tonight, about an hr ago, there seems to be severed cables/tiny wires loose in the base of the camera gimbal and a crack in the frame of the left arm casing. I have not crashed my drone and have always used CINE or C mode up until the above incident. I DONT have DJI Refresh Care Cover on this drone, only the extra cover from the store where I purchased it last Month. What can i do?
It seems that the issue you are facing is related to the damage you noticed on the gimbal + loose cable. I would get in touch with seller and explain the situation just as you described it. They might offer you a solution. Meanwhile, I hope someone from the community have a suggestion.
My gimbal overload is an unfortunate issue. After getting my air2s stuck in the top of a tree, I ended up retrieving it but not after it fell about 100 ft by Kimball seems fine, but when I tilt the camera down 45° and fly to the left or right, the camera ends up hitting the top of the gimbal causing the image to jump and be unstable, this also causes a gimbal overload
DJI products are good but gimbals sucks... all models have gimbal issues even new ones out of box. And not only drones but hand gimbals also. My Mavic Air 2 also randomly started shaking camera and showing Gimbal overload error, calibration and cleaning does not work, official dji repair says 400$ gimbal replacement, when i asked why it happens they said gimbals are moving parts and they die usually when it's three years old (in europe warranty is 2 years). That sucks because i use mostly drone for photography and videography and now it unusable. DJI are coming out always new drones and i'm starting to understand why.. they want people to buy new drones, thats why they do it low quality.

Soooo did the calibration of the gimbal fix it ? Or is it still acting up ?
Calibration and dust removal .... I would say the issue was definitely caused by dust particles... never had that problem again.

Did you get your drone fixed?
Yep, never seen that issue again 😃
is the two sticker at 0:33 removed?
did you calibrate the gimbal before using it for the first time?
@@thinkthings i forgot to calibrate the gimbal the first time i flew my air 2s, the camera kept jerking
So did you permanently fix your issue?
Thanks for the ‘heads-up”! Hope you got yours sorted out..
So,you fix it or not ?
I'm having the same issue. Collaborating doesn't help.
Would really like to fix this problem. To much money to be so glitchy.
People, clean the gimbal gently......there is dirt or some particle obstruction, in the way.

Thanks so much, this was helpful
I think I was sold a refurbished drone as new and sand is falling out of my drone.
I would leave it back ,,,,

@@thinkthings Thank You Khalid, I did take drone to a local repair shop, it should be back with me soon.
anyone here knows python procedure of pairing air2s camera gimbal to the mother board? thanks
yes I do

Mine too ! I think they have a problem
always calibrate gimbal and drone before flying
it might be interference from something
Mine has just done this, day 2 of owning it, I was flying at the beach the day before
Sometimes if you launch from the ground it can get some dirt in it which could cause this
reset gimbal
Damn thats really annoying if dji ain't doing anything about it id fly it into a wall with my refresh
@@thinkthings is it still malfunctioning
happen to me and they said nothing happen, i ask them to fly it for at least 15 mins .. fuck this brand, super annoying and cost very exspensive
