Typhoon H Gimbal Problem

McCFly · Apr 10, 2020

I am experiencing an issue with the gimbal on my H that I was hoping someone knows how to resolve...
I powered up the H to do some flying and I noticed I did not have full control of the gimbal. It seems to pan left and right just fine but when I power it up, the camera slowly points straight down and stays there. Nothing I can do on ST-16 will correct the issue. The camera is still working fine. I just cant seem to get it to tilt.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The other thing is I'm not sure which model I have. I do have RealSense and the ST-16 controller.

Thanks,
Dave

If it doesn't say plus on the copter then it's a H Pro version. It will probably say CGO3+ on the camera.

Any thoughts on the issue I'm having?

What do mean When you power up? Take off?
Take the camera off and slide back on see if that makes a difference.

When both the H and ST-16 are powered up and communicating...

So the camera initiates, then slowly falls? What's the Led colour on the camera?

McCFly · Apr 10, 2020

I'll try that

Let me throw a battery in, fire it up and let you know in a few.

OK.. Definitely RED LED on camera

There are two buttons undeath the camera which can reset it, but it might not need that.

I will try to remove it and put it back on now. Should I do this with power off?

Sd card in?

McCFly · Apr 10, 2020

So I have the camera off and there is an embossed arrow on the bottom of the mount. Should that arrow point towards the front or the back?

McCFly · Apr 10, 2020

SD card is in, yes.

Arrow pointing towards back.

LED is now Green. When I go into tilt mode and turn the dial, It pans left and right. When I in the A position on the tilt switch, it initially would move about 1/4" but that's it. Now it won't move at all. Only pan.

Sorry nodded off, it's 11.40pm here. I'll leave it in your expert hands. I've stopped the droop before by resetting camera, but it might not need it.
