    C23 gimbal bricked after firmware update

    Update to the case: received the camera today with a broken UV lens (the UV lens was intact when I've sent it to Yuneec GmbH). Yuneec has already closed my ticket, so now I am left with a non-working C23 camera with a broken UV lens. Any C23 camera for sale in EU?

    C23 gimbal bricked after firmware update

    The technician did not speak English very well but he did not mention which spare parts they do not have; he just said that the C23 is no longer manufactured and they have no spare parts, so he is sending it back unrepaired without any charges.

    C23 gimbal bricked after firmware update

    Update to the issue. I've sent the camera to Yuneec GmbH back in late April and up until now, there was no report from them. Today, they've contacted me via phone stating that they cannot repair the camera - the technician told me that he worked over 15 hours on it - due to part unavailability...

    C23 gimbal bricked after firmware update

    Prior to flash, I've checked the ribbon cable (I had a similar experience back then) and could not find any issues with it, everything was seated properly. Let's hope there is a way to "force" flashing otherwise I'd have to sent it for repair somewhere in Europe.

    C23 gimbal bricked after firmware update

    I've checked the ribbon cable - the one on the back of the C23 gimbal "arm" and all sockets were seated properly prior to update. Is it possible now to unbrick it somehow?

    C23 gimbal bricked after firmware update

    It was working erratically. Upon initialization, sometimes it would level but would start oscillating or spining on the yaw axis after 6-7 minutes of being stationary (with or without the remote controller connected). That's the reason I used the gimbal fix firmware to fix it, but now it does...

    C23 gimbal bricked after firmware update

    Hello, A friend of mine has an H Plus with the following issue: the C23 gimbal does not respond to any commands and does not initialize when the drone is powered on. The camera and FPV view work fine, the aircraft is flying fine without the camera attached. I've tried to revive the gimbal by...

    Extend the range for Typhoon H Plus

    Leaving aside all those valid arguments above regarding legality, I got great results extending the range of Typhoon H+ using the 4hawks Raptor SR antenna. I've also made a range test on an area with extreme interference and got great results; I can go much further now on my "test area" than...

    Typhoon H plus no take off

    Correct, Sport mode DOES need GPS fix to work.

    Frame for 520/+?

    If you tried to contact them using their [email protected] e-mail address, don't bother; they are severely understaffed and they rarely answer e-mails. I know that because they did not answer to my e-mail regarding my C23 RMA (see here) and I had to talk to them via telephone in order to get an...

    C23 gimbal went crazy after downloading logs

    I received today the package from Yuneec GmbH with my repaired C23 camera. Their packaging standards are insane, you could easily play football with the package and the C23 would not understand a thing :) The C23 gimbal works OK, I am waiting for the weather to calm down in order to fly test it...

    C23 gimbal went crazy after downloading logs

    On my original C23 post back in 2020, the Yuneec GmbH support technician told me (via e-mail) that the C23 gimbal does use compass calibration data to re-calibrate itself. I have not received my C23 back from Yuneec yet but if it was fixed by following the procedure above, that might explain why...

    C23 gimbal went crazy after downloading logs

    On my case, I've already tried that and did not help at all, even before posting here on this forum. Maybe the Typhoon H - which uses a different firmware code than the H Plus - with this procedure resets the gimbal IMU and re-performs calibration (the H has the option for gimbal calibration...

    C23 gimbal went crazy after downloading logs

    Update: I've sent the camera to Yuneec GmbH on 29th April using Hellenic Post registered article and the package arrived in Germany on 9th May. Until two days ago, no information was provided by Yuneec GmbH regarding my RMA status, not even answering to two e-mails I've sent on their customer...
