I recently I ran into the error of "Gimbal Overloaded" on my DJI Mavic Air 2s. You see the error and the camera is super shaky. I fixed it.
I did the video watching work for you and will probably work with any drones, regardless of brand or model.
So instead of having to comb through and watch dozens of YouTube videos filled with extra, unnecessary commentary, here is what I did to fix.
- Recalibrated the gimbal TWICE. This did not fix my drone, but it may fix yours.
You recalibrate in the app. - Another video recommended that you blow out the gimbal with air. Don't use an air compressor or your mouth since it can and will contain moisture. You'll need some sort of manual bulb that you compress with your fingers to push air through the gimbal.
- I noticed some sand caked on the back of my gimbal. This was probably there because I flew it on the beach a few times on the previous day. So I stuck the drone in front of a desk fan for about 30 mins. It blew all the sand off.
- Recalibrated again.
- Problem solved.
I don't know what I'm talking about, but I'd wager to say that the gimbal is super sensitive. I suspect that the little bit of sand that was on the back of my gimbal threw the weight balance off, which caused it to be overloaded. So it seems that even the smallest amount of foreign matter on gimbal assembly can generate this error.
Or maybe I'm just lucky and you have to recalibrate 3 times. Who knows.
