    I wasn't going to say anything

    I've been "had" once on eBay. I'm through with ebay myself. People will do anything for a dollar and then have the nerve to blame you or me for their dishonesty. Crooks!

    I see now that you had already seen it was bent. Sorry about that! Anyway, hopefully eBay will help.

    I'm certainly no expert, but on image 19 it appears the downward bracket is bent to the side just ever so slightly. Thus would certainly cause the issue you're seeing. More photos would help confirm this. If this is the case, he should certainly replace the gimbal for you!!

    "Gimbal roll reached movement limit"

    Glad that worked for you! Out of curiosity, did you need to calibrate the controller more than once for everything to return to normal OR was once enough??

    "Gimbal roll reached movement limit"

    You need to move the sticks FULL up, down, left & right. It may not be necessary, but I do this 4 or 5 times as I view the response on the PC monitor. However, there is one other step. If you look closely, you will see that the Gimbal Dial is to be rotated FULL left & right. This is where I had...

    "Gimbal roll reached movement limit"

    I had a situation several weeks back that was almost identical to yours. For whatever reason, the controller needed calibrating again. I actually had to contact DJI, because the first calibration did NOT resolve my issue. I was told that I may need to calibrate it more than once in order to...

    DJI tries to bill me for repair on a drone that is still on the river bottom..

    He's just venting AND I would also bet DJI monitors these sites. Just maybe the right individual will be looking!

    Help For First Time Purchase

    Are you referring to the Phantom 3 Standard or Phantom 4. I haven't seen any 4's that cheap. And if all of the bells and whistles aren't really worth the extra cash, then how about the Phantom 3 Standard? It can be purchased at a relatively low price!!

    Help For First Time Purchase

    Well, I thought that was the idea behind the sensors and obstacle avoidance. These features would not allow the pilot to fly into an object such as a tree or building ...... the unit was smart enough to either stop or go around! If this is not the case, then why do store reps mislead folks such...

    Help For First Time Purchase

    Hi to all! I will try to keep this very short and to the point: I am looking to purchase my very first drone to play around with. After shopping around and speaking with different sales reps, I THINK I have a better understanding of what I MAY need??? For what it is worth, I'm not a...
