Finally got through to someone. It was a mistake and they are going to correct it. Such nice people at Autel!

I have called AUTEL's number and have left several messages but no one has called me back. This time its for a different reason. I think they made a mistake. It was determined that the gimbal on my Nano+ was faulty from the factory. They told me to send it back. Then they sent me an email...

I finally determined the problem. I have a faulty gimbal. When calibrating a gimbal, according to the tutorial in the AutelSky app, the gimbal rotates around. I never paid attention to whether mine was doing that or not as I did not have the gimbal directed at me. Today I told it to calibrate...

Yep. Someone told me about that last month and I bought it. It works perfect!

Figured it out. And since there is no delete for messages I will just reply here. It has been made known to me that sticky gimbals are common in the Nano+ and there is a way to fit it. Problem solved.

Today while flying I got an error telling me to calibrate the gimbal. The fact that it was not responding was a dead give a way. Right after I received this drone, I calibrated everything before I flew. Everything calibrated and was happy. But this time it was different. This time it calibrated...

I bounced around for two months between getting a DJI, a Potensic Atom or a Autel Nano+. But after reading reviews, and watching YouTube videos. I decided on the Autel. To me the Potensic just didn't feel right and the DJI just had too much bloatware tacked on to it. I purchased the Nano+...

The IMU calibration and the compass calibration are two entirely different things. The compass calibration MUST be done outside so that the drone can connect with GPS. You cannot do it inside as it will tell you no GPS signal is found. The IMU calibration is so that the drone flies level. That...

Well someone over at the Nano+ group told me to just try it one more time, "just for giggles" he said, and see if it would calibrate the IMU. So I did. IT WORKED! Maybe the stars were alined right. Maybe I giggled just right. Who knows. But this time...in the exact same place on the exact same...

I am new to the Nano+. After updating the firmware it directed me to calibrate the compass and calibrate the IMU. The compass was easy enough but its refusing to calibrate the IMU. I have it on a perfectly level wooden surface. I even got out my level to make sure the surface was level. it never...

I have learned that I am going to have to buy a sun hood for flying. But everything out there is geared towards DJI's. Any suggestions on which one I could get that is compatible with the Nano+ controller for my android smart phone?

When Autelrobotics.com itself was out of the drone I wanted I asked them when they would be getting more in. They told me they didn't know and then recommended autelpilot.com. My feeling is that if they recommended it then it must be good. So thats who I went through. The drone was shipped from...
