Also explained here: 2 more
  • Mount: Xacti fw:…
  • Mount: Siyi …

At start-up the gimbal driver found its gimbal: the wiring, the port and the type are right. The line gives the model (for Siyi: A2, A8, ZR10, ZR30, ZT6 or ZT30) and the firmware versions of the gimbal and its camera. Until this line appears the gimbal counts as not healthy and arming is refused with “Mount: not healthy”; if it never appears, the gimbal is not answering.
