I’m encountering issues when using Dronelink with a DJI Inspire 2 and a MicaSense RedEdge-MX sensor during a mapping mission. Below is a summary of the setup and the problems experienced:

1. Equipment Setup

Drone: DJI Inspire 2
Sensor: MicaSense RedEdge-MXFlight planner: Dronelink
Camera setting: Set as “Custom” with RedEdge-MX specifications manually entered

2. Mission Situation

A mapping mission was created in Dronelink using the custom camera setting
The drone successfully took off and traveled to the starting waypoint but then stopped and did not proceed with the mission

3. Error Messages and Actions Taken

An alert appeared: dji_check_air_encoder_error_reason
After ignoring this, the next message was: Gimbal Orientation Failed
Ignored again, and then Camera Stop Capture Failed appeared
As a result, the mission could not be executed. I manually initiated Return to Home and landed the drone safely

4. Questions

What do each of these error messages mean and what might be causing them?
How can I resolve these issues to ensure the mission can be successfully flown?
Is the MicaSense RedEdge-MX sensor officially supported or compatible with Dronelink for mapping missions?

I would appreciate any guidance or recommendations you can provide to resolve this issue.
