No Gimbal action after firmware update

[zinkracer]

I was afraid this would happen.

I have a P2 with the H3-3D gimbal. After installing the 3.08 upgrade and all the other ones, my gimbal is no longer functioning.

I'll bet I'm not the first to have this problem. Appreciate advice from anyone who knows how to fix it.

Thanks,

Explain further, not doing the start up dance (IMU initialization)? Ie: never moving.

Or doing the first initial movements, but will not tilt when using lever/or dial?

By "no longer functioning", do you mean that it stays level, but doesn't pitch up and down when you want it to?
If so, that's a control issue that's already covered in the P2V+ forum: the control is now relative instead of absolute, and the pitch control needs to be calibrated with the latest RC assistant.
(No, you can't undo the update.)

No. It is not responding to anything. Just hangs there like it isn't on - but clearly there is power to the camera.

Not doing the startup dance any longer.

First check and confirm gray cable is plugged in back of gimbal. Unplug and reseat just to eliminate bad connection.

Plug phantom into computer and run Phantom Assistant. Post a screen shot here of the update screen showing all your hardware and its current firmware.

You might have to do a factory reset depending on what is seen in updates page. I'll let you know once I see your screen shot.

Screen shot is attached. Thanks for your help.

Did you reset the gray cable to Zenmuse before this screen shot?

If so you are going to be forced to do the factory reset, since it is not seen in the list of equipment.

Watch the videos. Perform the task. Once it is seen in hardware you can then upgrade its firmware to a current version.

Notice mine has H3-3D IMU and yours does not.

OK !! That fixed it. Really appreciate your help. A shame this happens to start with and further shame on DJI that we have to depend on ourselves for these fixes when their own sites ought to have this information. Perhaps I looked in the wrong places on DJI, but I couldn't find one.

Again, many thanks for your expertise!!

We unfortunately are their beta testers, technical support, customer support and sales associates. All for free, that makes them smart and us a bunch of dumb a$$3$.

Glad to hear its up and running
