Keep Your Drone Gimbal Smooth: Essential Self-Check Steps by Ruko


The gimbal of a drone is the core component for stabilizing and operating the camera. Drone enthusiasts may pay attention to many parameters of drones, such as the 3-Axis Gimbal Camera of Ruko drones. The gimbal can stabilize the shooting picture, flexibly control the shooting angle and improve the image quality. However, there may be some tricky problems in actual flight. In order to ensure a smooth flight, today we will bring you several inspection methods that you can complete at home.

 

1. Basic Inspection (Quick Troubleshooting)
A. Check the physical condition: the protective film of the gimbal needs to be removed. If it is stuck, check whether there is any foreign matter (sand, branches) on the gimbal.
B. Restart the device: Turn off the drone and remote controller, wait 30 seconds and then restart (most temporary faults can be solved).
C. Calibrate the sensor: Keep the drone level and still, and start the gimbal automatic calibration in the app.

2. Different issues (Specific troubleshooting)
A. Gimbal shaking: There may be aging of the shock absorber balls, motor overload caused by strong winds, and imbalance caused by propeller deformation. Since you can buy replacement parts on the Ruko website, if there are no parts on sale, you can directly contact Ruko’s customer service team.
B. Gimbal unresponsive: If the gimbal is unresponsive, the gimbal cable may be loose or damaged. You need to check the cable. If the temperature is low, preheat the battery before taking off.
C. Wavy lines appear on the screen: The shutter speed does not match the frame rate → You need to adjust the shutter speed to twice the frame rate (e.g., use a 1/60s shutter for a 30fps video).

3. Advanced Maintenance Tips
A. Regular maintenance: Clean the gimbal motor and shaft arm (use an air blower to remove dust).
B. Environmental adaptability operation: After flying in a high-temperature environment, let the gimbal cool down before shutting down.
C. Software settings optimization: Turning off “Gimbal Follow Mode” can reduce jitter during complex flights.

In addition to the above self-troubleshooting, if you encounter more technical problems, you can contact our exceptional 7/24 Ruko customer service to guarantee your smooth flight experience.
