M30 gimbal turns about 15 degrees to the left when dronelink waypoint mission starts

Johan Dannhauser

I had the same problem previously on the Mavic 2 Pro that got fixed by an update. My new M30T's gimbal turns to one side as soon as the new waypoint mission starts. I take pictures at a -90 degrees angle and the picures is not aligned with the path it flies but is skew by about 15 degrees to the left. I have tried the "trim offset" function to turn the gimbal straight with the drone again. But as soon as I start the mission it turns the gimbal left. Please help.

    This is a known issue with the DJI SDK that we are currently investigating to see if there is a work-around (similar to the one we had to create for the M2P).

    We may have a partial work-around. If you want to try it, please delete the app and reinstall it.

    Hi Jim

    Just to make sure I downloaded the correct file. Is it this file?

    I downloaded it again and reinstalled it, but it does not seem to work.

    Downloaded it from:

    It almost looks like the gimbal is turning more rather than less. Looks like about 30 degrees to the left now. Not sure if its just my imagination.

    Hi Jim

    I reinstalled it again and it works perfectly now.

    Thank you.

    Our experience is that the gimbal can drift over time during virtual stick missions, and each new battery session is different. The previous build attempted to fix this by yaw the gimbal back to the nose of the aircraft, but we have since found that the compass heading reported from the aircraft and the gimbal can be wildly different, even with aligned perfectly, so the latest build removes that “fix”. This is similar to a long-standing fix we have for MSDKv4 drones (P4P, M2P, A2S etc), but that one actually works because the telemetry isn’t false.

    Thanks Jim. Will let you know how it performs. For the moment it looks quite steady.
