this is genuinely driving me crazy. updated the firmware two weeks ago and now my gimbal slowly pans left on its own during shots. like it starts centered and over about 30 seconds just drifts maybe 5 or 6 degrees left. its subtle but completely unusable for anything serious and it shows up in every single clip.

ive done the gimbal calibration twice through the app, both times it says calibration successful but the drift is still there. also tried recalibrating on a perfectly flat surface thinking maybe that was the issue. nothing. DJI support basically told me to reinstall the firmware which i havent tried yet because last time i did that on a different drone it bricked it temporarily and i dont feel like dealing with that again. anyone actually fixed this or am i just waiting for them to patch it

yeah the firmware rollback thing is annoying but its probably your best bet at this point. if the calibration isnt fixing it and it started right after the update then its almost certainly a software issue not hardware. i know the rollback process feels sketchy but ive done it a few times without issues, just make sure the battery is fully charged before you start and dont disconnect anything mid process. the DJI assistant app on desktop handles it better than the mobile app in my experience.

not to go off on a tangent but this is exactly why i wait like 3 or 4 weeks before updating firmware on anything i actually need for paid work. let other people find the bugs first. seen this kind of gimbal drift thing reported before on one of the other Mavic versions too, think it was a gyro calibration offset getting written wrong during the update or something like that. usually gets patched pretty fast once enough people report it so might be worth checking if theres already a newer version out that adresses it.
