    Gimbal issues following a crash

    It came installed when I got the drone from 3DR. I will take a look around and find an installation video that seems reputable, as well as more info around here on HDMI placement. That sounds like a good idea, thanks. I'm located in Phoenix, AZ... I'd just started flying recently and there...

    Gimbal issues following a crash

    Interesting, it's a factory install... are they generally done differently? I'll have to check for some references when I install the new one to make sure it's all set up correctly. Thanks again, and will do. Thank you. I gave that a shot on the current gimbal. It violently jerks the socket...

    Gimbal issues following a crash

    I took a look at the other end of the HDMI last night and it looks like it's securely attached still. Thanks for the tip. Thanks for the link to the thread, very informative. I took a peek at the connection underneath the motherboard but it appears it's still solidly connected. In regards to...

    Gimbal issues following a crash

    Gimbal issues following a crash

    An additional question... if it doesn't seem like a fix for my problem would be simple, would there be any reason to suspect that simply buying and installing a new gimbal wouldn't be a solution? The rest of the drone flies and operates normally. Thanks!

    Gimbal issues following a crash

    Yeah that's the video I saw. Sorry, it looks like my link to that thread didn't work correctly. I thought the drumming issue it addressed was similar to how my gimbal acts, but was unable to replicate the solution. Thanks for the explanation on that. Do you think that would be worth a try in...

    Gimbal issues following a crash

    Ah yes, you are correct. I didn't realize the small weight of the lens cover was enough to tilt it. It now balances perfectly when off. Thank you for the tip. Still getting the same issue when it is powered on, though.

    Gimbal issues following a crash

    I suffered my first crash the other day by getting caught in a branch, and though I was amazed at how well my Solo survived the drop, the gimbal has clearly been affected. I took a video of how it's acting any time my Solo is turned on. It just kind of freaks out as if it can never correct...
