I have just received this earth-shattering response from DJI European technical support team:
Jan 7, 23:39
Dear Phantom,
Thank you for contacting the DJI technical support.
The phantom 3 advanced is not compatible with the pro camera.
There is no driver to activate the fan in the gimbal.
Thanks for choosing DJI
With kind regards,
DJI NL Technical Support
If that is true, this gimbal fan is not functioning for anyone who has retrofitted a Pro camera onto their P3A.
After my search for 'gimbal fan' on this forum, it seems a lot of users have hardly noticed the presence of the fan, let alone checked whether it is working.
It would be great if someone who has upgraded the camera on a P3A can confirm that their fan is actually spinning.
And I would love to know how the fan behaves on a real P3P. Does it really just switch on and off with the battery power, or only when shooting 4k, or only when a thermal limit is reached on the video board. It might even have speed control like a proper PC graphics card.
I would also not be surprised to hear that the gimbal fans on a number of P3P are no longer working (due to crashes, debris getting into the tiny unguarded fan, etc), and that it is not having any adverse effect (in the short term anyway).
I asked someone who has done the upgrade about the fan and what DJI told you and he said..................
not true,
i've done plenty and the fan does turn on..........which is what I thought
