I'm new to Yuneec and this forum although I have read many threads here and elsewhere trying to determine a solution prior to posting.
Yuneec Q500, CGO2+ gimbal/camera, ST10 controller
My CGO2+ initializes just fine, steady green light & video feed to ST10+ is good. Recording video and capturing pictures are no problem. After a minute or so with the Q500 flat and level (flying or sitting still on a table) the gimbal will briefly torque around before re-centering itself. This cycle repeats every 15 seconds, basically it twitches. The gimbal also lags behind tilt changes, eventually re-leveling itself after a few seconds.
I reset the controller to factory setting. Created a new bind with Q500 and CGO2+ and I have updated the firmware to the CGO2+ via the SD card (the purple light came on). I then connected the Q500 to the GUI on the computer via the USB dongle and proceeded to calibrate the gimbal. The gimbal went through all the axis motions very smoothly and quietly, so there does not seem to be a drive motor or position sensor issue.
But the situation has not improved. Power up the Q500 and the CGO2+ goes to steady green light. It will initially operate normally but only briefly. Then it begins to lag, in other words, tilt the Q500 and the gimbal does not immediately respond, but several seconds later it will level itself. Tilt another direction, same thing, gimbal lags by several seconds, all the while "twitching" every 15 seconds.
I'm trying all the tricks that I've read about, but no solution yet. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
