(Please excuse my poor English)
Today I went to a river for a video recording of the nature and I ended with a crash.
It was my fault entirely. I was using modified version of Ground Station for a total trip 5000 Km mission. There is some tall trees as you can see in the video below, so I set the waypoint height to 45 m, obviously it wasn’t enough. There is no tree in that river taller from 30m but what I thought unfortunately after the crash is the elevation!
I was waiting for the craft to come back in 7 minutes, after 8 minutes I started to worried.
I drove with my car and started to search the craft pointing the transmitter from outside the window to bushes and trees, after a 2 km my phone shows (Phantom connected) So I stopped. Using the find my phantom feature it pointing me there is somewhere there, so started to search always with transmitter and phone connected. It was very difficult, big bushes and water there. I took a picture from camera but still can’t find it. After an hour I finally found it.
All four propellers are broke. Nothing else seems to have a problem.
I took it to home, cleaned it, done advance calibration, new propellers and out for testing.
When it starts it does a strange noise coming from camera or gimbal. And the phone showing Gimbal motor error, check for obstructions.
I take off, and everything seems to be ok with flying attitude, when I move the camera the gimbal motor error message not appearing to my phone but sometimes the camera goes up a down.
Any idea how to fix the gimbal motor error?
