Hi guys Dji phantom 4 gimble yaw motor

[Tony wehbe]

I had problem with the yaw motor it was shaking and overloading so i replaced it with a new one from eBay
Now everything is fixed except the camera is not in the middle its pointing to the right when you calibrate it and you can see the right leg when you flying
Anyone knows how to bring it back to the centre calibrating or doing something
Please return message

Yes i tried move it but not enough to be in the centre

I was told to keep the motor cap in the back but the magnet was broken

When you fly you can see the leg
Ajustment will bring it in about 1 inch not enough

Might need to be here,,was looking at other pics sorry,,these screws can loosen to adjust ...this to me looks like what is happening

Try doing another gimbal calibration with the AC tipped in it's back. Then again normal.

Also through litchi you can adjust it left right but I think it'll go back to original after AC is powered off

Not sure if you are saying you this magnet was broken, but this guy's method WORKS:

I''ve done this repair 3 times and it's worked each time.

Alternatively, this also worked when the damaged gimbal was FUBAR:

HTH!

Yes the magnet ring was broken so i could not use any parts from the old motor

I know this thread is old but I am trying to glean helpful info from old posts rather than try to start a new thread. If the old yaw motor casing is damaged (magnet as well), would a completely new camera and gimbal assembly fix the issue, or is the motherboard somehow electronically calibrated to the magnet in the original casing?

As long as the drone itself is airworthy, replacement with a fully functional gimbal assembly and camera will be successful, whether the damage was due to a crash or a cursed FW update.
