So, I'm having a similar problem with my Mini 2 gimbal and here's my conclusion: After either a small bump to the drone and / or a firmware update I noticed that my horizon was tilting. Doing the 'gimbal' calibration seemed to solve it. HOWEVER, flying in a slight sidewind it was yet again tilted. Now I did the 'manual calibration' again with the wind from ~90 degrees. Looked allright. Then i rotated the aircraft 180 degrees and the horizon was yet again tilted EVEN WORSE but in the opposite direction - against the wind compensation tilt of the drone. It looks to me that somehow the gimbal OVERCOMPENSATE aircraft tilt into the wind since it's ALWAYS level in zero sidewind conditions which wouldn't be the case in a pure 'position calibration situation'. This behavior I'm obviously not able to calibrate away - neither manually nor automatically. I'm starting to wonder if this is a firmware introduced way of 'premature ageing' of the drone since the calibration seems to work and always level the gimbal in zero sidewind condition while it's clearly overcompensating in sidewind. MANY Mini 2 owners seem to experience this exact behavior - especially after a hard landing or light 'crash'... Maybe something like this pseudo code: :do_aging { If (impact_force => nG); tilt_compensation_multiplier x 2; } Who knows? Quite possible...
Yes, I notice that as well. Unfortunately, I feel we have to deal with that. My compensation for that is just fly sideways slower in hopes that it won't tilt so much. I just set it at zero tilt for a static shot and hope for the best there after.. I can fix in post if it's usable content. Thank you for the comment, much appreciated.
That’s another thing don’t let it hover while it’s uploading for you to go and fly after it says your home point has been updated let the satellites pick up wait for it to tell you when it’s ready and then throw it up. You’ll save your battery by just not turning on the propellers.
I have noticed that it will update the homepoint even after it updated on the ground. Also, around here in the sticks, I notice sometimes it won't update the homepoint till it gets satellites after it is flying. But you're right, wait till it updates on the ground, most of the time.
I was trying to look at your remote control it does the same thing to me when I take it to the beach and have it on sport mode just a fly it 1 mile out but when I have it on normal it alerts me after 30%. Which is still not a bad thing because it’s giving you time to fly back from however far you are from your home point. But I have ignored the alert and flew it back as low as 21%
Thank you for this my mini se is having slight horizon tilt no wrecks just started doing it . I will definitely try this thank you a million 🙏 did you ever find the battery percentage settings warning ?
Today I also had a crash with the same problem. I also had a fracture in one of the propellers so I also changed this to a new one (including the screw as well). But when I tested my Mini 2 again, my horizon was also crooked. Someone told me to use the Gimbal Calibration tool and I had to change it to +0.5. So it was just a little bit crooked.
Yeah, how about that?.. Hope you can still fly it with out problems. I think sometimes they update the software and it doesn't work to our advantage. It will probably update again and go back to the way it was.
@@mrmtruckermax2 I did my test today outside in my back garden and I have to calibrate it everytime, I think. But it is a very slight offset and it only takes a minute to change it. Maybe I can live with it. I have DJI Care Refresh so I can still send it to them for repairs.
@@mrmtruckermax2 I hope so too but I doubt it. I was really lucky that the crash didn't result in more damage. Seeing the footage I was extremely lucky.
