Hi Frank,
Is the gimbal position issue fixed yet? Until now, I only used the gimbal in FPV mode, because otherwise the gimbal always got lost. And is it possible to use UART to command the gimabl mod? I mean switching between FPV, follow and locked.
Hi Petr,
I believe that all the issues you are concerning have been solved. Welcome to sync to the latest firmware and refer to the latest user manual.

You will need to pay more attention on chapter 3.8 and 6.5.
Best regards,
Frank
Hi Frank.
I use this camera and I am satisfied.
But recently there is a problem with the camera!
I can’t connect to it via LAN. The LED on the camera flashes red, red, yellow, and I don’t know what the problem is. As mentioned in the User Manual:
Camera can’t identify board, but doesn’t tell anything to what should I do!
I changed and updated the firmware, but the problem is still there.
It might be caused during firmware upgrade. The reason is that the firmware upgrade was failed.
Please do it again with an FAT32 card.
Frank, I want to change firmware to older, because the new firmware don’t work for me.
Can you send me the old version of that?
Thanks
Please write to support@siyi.biz about this
We will assist you immediately after coming back from the show
Hello, @SIYI
Can you please provide the pixel pitch of ZR30? We require this information for our experimental calculations for ZR30.
Alternatively if you can provide the model number of the Sony sensor used would be helpful as well.
Thank You
Hello @joe_white,
I’m experiencing the same issue, and even after trying an older version, it still doesn’t work. Did you manage to find a solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as my only option so far is to return the gimbal (specifically, the zoom firmware didn’t upload correctly).
Hi Jimmy,
I reached out to the support team in the WhatsApp group created by our supporters. After trying a few different SD cards and formats to write the camera firmware, they finally concluded that the main board of the ZR30 camera is damaged. It needs to be sent back to SIYI for repairs.
Fingers crossed that it’s still under warranty and that everything will work perfectly once it’s fixed!
Hello Joe, thanks to this, I was also able to send the gimbal and it has been successfully repaired!
Hello @SIYI
I’m working on integrating the SIYI ZR30 gimbal with a Cube running ArduCopter 4.5.7. Our goal is to enable geotagging (EXIF metadata), so we’re using MAVLink2 via UART (SERIAL2_PROTOCOL = 2, baud 115200). This works for receiving heartbeats from the gimbal and camera.
However, when using:
- SERIAL2_PROTOCOL = 2
- MNT1_TYPE = 8 (SIYI)
…the gimbal does not move, and Mission Planner displays:
“Mount not healthy.”
I tried changing MNT1_TYPE to 4 (SToRM32 MAVLink) and the warning disappears. I can see mount commands being sent from RC and QGC, but the gimbal still does not respond. I also tried setting MNT1_DEVID, but it appears to be read-only, so I can’t assign the correct compid (154 in my case).
Has anyone successfully configured the ZR30 for MAVLink2 gimbal control and geotagging at the same time?
Specifically:
- Is MNT1_TYPE = 8 compatible with MAVLink2?
- How should I handle MNT1_DEVID when it’s not writable?
- What’s the correct way to make sure the gimbal moves and receives attitude/GPS for EXIF tagging?
Hi Jim,
I’d suggest that you can update to ArduCopter 4.6.0 and have a try again. Is it possible?
Hello! Has anyone know how I can change bitrate in my ZR30?
Hello! thanks for answering. I updated but still doesn’t work 
I did some steps given from Siyi support but still doesn’t move. These are in the following link: Your connected workspace for wiki, docs & projects | Notion
As a result, changing the parameter SR2_RC_CHAN causes the gimbal to move, but my intention is to control the gimbal position through mission commands. When I set a default position in QGroundControl or send a specific angle from Mission Planner, the gimbal does not respond.
