@KillRbee18 We replaced a gimbal in a crashed Spark and used a calibration program. You may just need to calibrate the gimbal. You can find python based tools to do this for you. If you aren't comfortable, maybe you know someone who is and can run the code on their computer for you. Here is a...

@Tentoes Thanks for sharing your story!

Didn't know what to expect! Thanks for sharing your early spring hike with us. Beautiful scenery of the countryside. It was like we were there with you @Tentoes

Long time coming, but we got the spark working again! After replacing the gimbal motor, we replaced the gimbal & camera wiring which reduced the errors, but still no image. We replaced the camera, did a gimbal calibration and it is working again! No more forward sensor errors.

Excellent composition, variety of shots, slow movements. The music track fit perfectly. The dog running by was a nice surprise too! Where is this?

Fascinating!

To reset the aircraft in DJI Assistant, is this the same as refreshing or updating the firmware? I don't see an explicit "reset", but anticipate this would do the trick.

Thank you for sharing from your Spark's perspective what we've read about from far away.

I got the mini 5 and it works great with my MP. I haven't tried it with the Spark yet, but expect equally good results. Perfect size in portability and larger screen than my phone so I can see so much better. Recommended! @Highflyer I think you will like it very much. I recommend you get a...

The main board was functioning fine before we opened it up. We did a test flight and video looked fine in DJI GO, prior to cracking it open. When I get time, I’ll try doing the gimbal calibration and see if that helps. It could be the main board has gone bad. We’ll see...

This was a freebie offered to my son by the owner who crashed it to tinker with and not under warranty. So...this one isn't going to a service center.

I've replaced a broken gimbal motor but now I get these errors: air encoder error 0x800000 Camera sensor error Gimbal disconnected forward vision sensor error 4 Previously the camera worked (video visible on device). Anyone else successfully replaced a gimbal motor? Apparently once I get...

Tried a micro SD card, no difference (as expected). I'm wondering if either the camera or the camera/gimbal wiring harness needs to be replaced. I did bend the connector on the camera board, so this could be an issue, but not sure why it would affect the gimbal so maybe the common wiring...

There is no micro SD card in the aircraft. I could put a compatible card in the aircraft to see if it changes anything. Thanks for looking for me. My son was excited to have his own, so I want to get it working.

Put it back together, and get errors. I'm concerned that we've broken something. We get: air encoder error 0x800000 Camera sensor error Gimbal disconnected forward vision sensor error 4 Gimbal just doesn't move. I've reseated the connectors to ensure a tight fit. The camera was a pain to...
