Details

The yaw motor turns the gimbal from side to side, cancelling small swings of the airframe so the shot stays pointed where you set it. On the Air 3 and Air 3S, a failing yaw motor shows up as footage that drifts left or right, a gimbal that shudders or a yaw error at startup.

This gimbal yaw motor is listed for both the DJI Air 3 and Air 3S. It's an aftermarket part; no maker is given in the listing.

Air 3 and Air 3S yaw-motor faults

  • The picture drifts or swings sideways in flight.

  • The gimbal shudders or buzzes on the yaw axis.

  • Yaw or motor overload errors after a crash.

  • A gritty or stiff feel when turning the gimbal by hand.

Before you replace it

Check that the gimbal moves freely with the cover removed and nothing is jamming it. Inspect the gimbal flex cable as well, since damage there can cause similar errors.

When fitting, protect the flex cables, then power the drone on a level surface and calibrate the gimbal. A smooth yaw axis keeps Air 3 and Air 3S footage steady.

Questions

Is this a DJI-made motor?

The listing doesn't state DJI origin, so we sell it as an aftermarket motor.

Does one motor fit both models?

The listing names both the Air 3 and Air 3S.

Could a cable cause yaw errors?

Yes. A damaged gimbal flex cable can produce similar errors, so check it too.
