![]() A hardware failure – if the gimbal is broken or if it needs to be professionally reviewed.Overheated gimbal motors – common when flying in sport mode when there is fast yaw movements.Using third-party accessories on or around the gimbal such as flare hoods and ND filters.Starting the drone while it is still in your hand, this can cause aggressive tilts and the gimbal motors can overload while trying to compensate for your hand’s movement.The camera/gimbal being pressed against something while on initial start-up such as grass or an uneven surface.Loose gimbal mounting bracket common on Mavic pro. ![]() The ribbon cable restricting the gimbal specifically on phantom 4.The most common issue, gimbal being tainted by excessive dust.So let me start out by listing what can possibly cause this issue Another way to check is if you do a spherical panorama, the full movement of the gimbal will also test the stabilization. If the gimbal is visibly shaky or if it outputs a shaky video it is most likely a hardware issue you are having and by hardware I mean something is damaged or loose or there is something that is restricting its movement, and sometimes the shakiness of the gimbal might not be clearly visible, to check the stability you can yaw your drone left to right and right to left, it is a software issue the stabilization does a good job of negating the rolling shutter if there is a hardware problem vertical structures may appear very tilted. One way to know if you are having software or a hardware issue is by looking if you have a shaky gimbal. This issue can come from both hardware and software issues, software issues won’t cause any harm and can be fixed with a simple firmware refresh, hardware issues might need a professional assistance. However there are different levels of severity with this issue, it can be a small temporary overload, which can be due to strong wind and excessive sports mode tilts and this will disappear on its own, and the worst can be permanently damaged gimbal outputting shaking jelly videos. If you are not a technical person to simplify it, “gimbal motor overload” means the motor that runs the gimbal is having a hard time doing its job. To fix this problem you can try air dusting the gimbal and calibrating the gimbal in DJI go 4, if the error persists, you might have to send the drone to DJI for service. ![]() “Gimbal Motor Overloaded” error can be caused by a restricted gimbal movement, faulty gimbal, faulty ribbon cable, or a corrupted software. Note: By attempting to repair or replace a damaged part on your DJI drone it is very important to understand that you can void your warranty by doing so! So what causes gimbal motor overload and how do you fix it? I had this problem with on Mavic pro a couple of weeks ago, and after contacting DJI, reading a bunch of forums, hours of frustration, and trying different things, I almost gave up until I called a friend of mine who is a drone technician and he told me what causes this problem and different DJI drones and how you can fix it, and it saved me 100s of dollars so I thought I could do the same for others. Gimbal Motor Overload has been an issue on DJI drones especially, Mavic pro, air, mini and phantom 4, but even on the older drones like the spark and phantom 3 nonetheless, DJI doesn’t seem to come up with a solution.Īnd this error is not something you can ignore or say I will come back to it later because it affects your gimbal, and without a proper working gimbal, your drone is basically useless.
