[QUOTE="Andre Levite, post: 98445, member: 10850"] 10% setting shouldn’t be a problem. There must be a different reason you see that message. The gimbal overload error is trigger when too much resistance is encountered. I’ve seen it with filter (as noted above). Also at full speed in Sport Mode when sun hood used (excess turbulent air). Most likely is foreign body such as sand granules in gimbal motor. This can occur during take off from prop wash kicking up debris. With Spark off you can manually rotate the camera and sometimes works it out. I’ve also used fine lens brush to clean the joint mechanism. Compressed air is a last resort because you could force the debris further in. Good luck. When I get gimbal error I can only clear by landing and power cycling drone. That gets old quick! [/QUOTE]
