X3 Camera not panning

[DVroguesquid]

inspire 1 camera will not move side to side. It does move up and down. In addition to this the camera wont display video . It does say AE locked?​

Check the pins on the mount to see if any are bent or corroded.

 

[DVroguesquid]

I reseated but didnt look at the pins.

 

[AeroMirage]

Here's what to look for...

 

[Advexure]

Check your gimbal mode. Sounds like it may be in Follow Mode. You will want it in Free Mode.

Gimbal mode is selected with the icon highlighted below.

Thank you for the inputs. They seen solids. When I get back home I will try to share the connector pins.

I havent had any cam input. It is just black and I have all the other data satellites etc..

 

[DVroguesquid]

I dont aee anything obvious jumping out of me. I thinking clean the contacts with alcohol but not sure as when it dries it leaves a small white film?

 

[DVroguesquid]

Looks good to me.

Ok. The contacts aren't the problem. Next thing to check is the cables ( DJI Inspire 1 Part 17 Fast-Mounting Gimbal Port Cable DJI RC Drone Quadcopter 6958265115257 | eBay ) that connect the mount to the 'N-Core' at the front.
One may be loose or damaged.
The other thing that could be the problem is the Gimbal port PCB board. ( DJI Inspire 1 Part 30 Gimbal Port PCBA for Inspire 1 RC FPV Quadcopter I3T2 603983327111 | eBay )

Sort of.... self taught repairman. I have rebuilt 6 Inspires from the ground up.
Here is a slide show of the assembly of the Inspire 1:

Gentleman just a FYI. I wont be able to use THIS drone for a couple of weeks. I cant bring it will me. I also need to get over my fear of taking apart 1200.00. It looks easy enough. Ironically I have those two cables. I will post up when I get back. I am thankful for you guys help but on a temp standby. Thank you.

I am having the same issue. The camera rotates fine upon start up. I have entered in free mode, nothing. When I am in follow mode it will pan about 5 degrees left and right when I move the stick that way. It will not tilt. I have completed all checks I know of and no issues with the pins.

I bought the cable and PCB that were recommended. I hope to have time to replace today. Yeah I know but former military just remove and re

The problem of the bent camera contacts is a consequence of the wrong installation of the cover. according to recommendations it should be placed on the marker on the right - this is a big error leading to spoilage of contacts. If you put the lid - put a marker back from the clamp marker, only then the guides to enter the holes and there is no contact with the lid pins on the cat. But it's probably better not to put the lid on, if you use the case.
I found this error after losing the video signal at myself and then correcting the contacts and analyzing the cause of their damage.

Mine is different as my pins are not bent. Two man inspection,Thant Aero Mirage.

 

[DVroguesquid]

Do you have a list in order what has to be removed to replace cables and PCD?

 

[Jglarsbel]

Is there a good way to straighten a pin, I've got one slightly bent, camera not working....
