My Gimbal Isn't Moving Smoothly - What Can I Do?

If your Aeroo Pro’s gimbal isn’t responding correctly or seems stuck, don’t worry — it’s usually an easy fix. Try these quick steps to get it moving freely again:Ā

Steps to Fix Gimbal Issues

1. Remove the Gimbal Protector

Before powering on your drone, ensure theĀ gimbal protectorĀ has been removed.Ā If the drone was turned on with the protector still in shape, it might log as a fault.Ā 

If this happens:

  • Power off the drone
  • Remove the protector.
  • Restart the drone to clear the fault.

2. Check for Smooth Movement

With the drone turned off, gently roll the camera up and down by hand.

Check whether:

  • Does it move freely?Ā 
  • Or does it feel like there’s resistance or sticking at certain points?

3. Realign the Gimbal

If you feel resistance:

  • Slowly move the camera up and down several times to help it realign itself on its axis.
  • This can often resolve minor misalignments.

4. Observe the Gimbal Self-Check

When you power the drone back on, the gimbal should do a quick self-check:Ā 

  • You’ll see the camera move up and down and then settle in the centre.Ā
