Hello everybody!
Since using the current E90 gimbal firmware 2.40.3 (January 2019) I have the problem that the gimbal might get out of control during survey flights. When I use any earlier gimbal firmware version the problem does not occur. But the big disadvantage of using the older firmwares is that RC connection losses (5.8 GHz video and telemetry) remain permanent until landing (manually via 2.4 GHz or by RTL) and restarting the UAS. With the current FW version 2.40.3 RC connection losses are fully recovered midair quite fast.
So I have to decide between unusable survey photos from stable RC connection flights that nevertheless have to be interrupted by stopovers to reset the loose gimbal on ground (incl. UAS restart), and good survey fotos from flights with possibly no video transmission and telemetry data (e.g. not knowing the battery level, flight plan progress etc.).
Did anyone experience this, too? Are there known ways to fix this problem?
Here are some sample fotos of survey flights that had to be interrupted due to a loose gimbal looking "somewhere":
