Joe Martin, thank you so much for your tutorial, it helped me a lot with my DJI Mini 2.

As a contribution to your video:
The Mini 2 code is the same as the Mavic Mini (WM160).
In order for the COM port to remain open, it is necessary to install DJI Assistant 2, wait for the drone to be recognized by the software, and then close DJI Assistant 2. After that, the COM port will remain open.

I am working in the DRC Congo, and had to replace my gimbal, installed it, and it needed calibration, I thought I was going to have to take it back to the states and hire someone to calibrate it for me, but I watched your video, and was able to calibrate the gimbal, thank you so much for the time and effort to put this video up, it saved me a ton!

[calebgeorgeson]

God bless you, it's 1 in the morning right now and I was about to give up my calibration efforts when I found this video. My gimble is now straighter than I am. Thanks a million!

[joseortiz]

I had heard about this calibration for a long time, I had watched many videos but without results. But thanks to you, I was finally able to achieve it! You did it! Thanks!

[VlogCity]

Bro this is the 4th video I've run through, and it's the only one that worked. Thank you so much for your clarity and help!

By any chance...do you have the code for de mavic mini 3 pro?

[robertojustus]

Amazing video, thanks for this, i broke my grandpa's drone and as it turns out it was thankfully only the gimbal assembly, the camera was working normally, and they charge a lot of money just replacing the parts, i could only afford the gimbal, not both, you saved me

[jefferymelochick]

[hassanalabadi]

[luiskantek]

Hi there, my drone is mini 3 pro. ive just changed the gimbal. after closing the camera keep lookimg right. The mini 3 pro have calibration direct on control. is not the same? may i have to do your instruction or change the camera?

[mohammedullah]

Thanks for posting the solution. Tried it, the gimbal didn;t move at all after entering the command into the cmd prompt. Worked anyway, by the looks of it. Gimbal no longer stays in weird position (almost every time it got stuck in a different position or started shaking). So, if it helps to someone with the same issue, this was my procedure:
1. Download/install everything.
2. Connect the drone to PC.
3. Note the com port.
4. Run the command lines in CMD prompt.
5. Wait a minute.
6. Switch off and back on the drone.

Tested it out multiple times today and the error doesn't show up in the app anymore - both when drone switched on, but still on the ground and when flying (windy day today).
