Just got my first Mavic Pro yesterday and took it for a maiden flight this morning. Everything went great until I landed - now I'm getting occasional "Gimbal motor overloaded" messages in the app even when the drone is just sitting on the table.

The gimbal seems to move fine and video looks stable during flight. Is this normal for new drones or should I be concerned? I did remember to remove the gimbal clamp before powering on.

Any advice from experienced pilots would be really appreciated!

The gimbal is quite fragile and something as simple as shipping can damage it enough to affect performance. Try powering the drone off completely, wait 30 seconds, then power back on. Sometimes the gimbal just needs to recalibrate itself after the first few flights.

I had the exact same issue with my first Mavic Pro! If you leave the clamp on during power-up, the gimbal motors try to initialize but fail, which strains the motors over time. Even though you removed it, try a gimbal calibration through the DJI GO 4 app - that usually fixes random overload messages.

Welcome to the Mavic family! Don't panic just yet - this is actually pretty common with new units. The gimbal is definitely the weakest link in the Mavic Pro but yours sounds like it's working fine. If the messages persist after a few more flights, then consider contacting DJI support.
