Gimbal won’t point straight

[894568]

Hey everyone
I’ve been having trouble with my gimbal lately where when the gimbal is powered on it will not point straight. All of the other functions of the gimbal work except that it won’t point straight. How do I go about fixing this.

This may help.

Doing this has made all of my gimbals point straight forward, but only after I get GPS lock during boot.

Glad someone else has had success using the calibration, saved me as well...

Alternative is you could have the HDMI cable pushing or pulling on the gimbal. I recommend a top down approach when installing the gimbal, just to insure the cables are clear of contact or being hung up within the narrow frame.

Several threads here discussing the non-straight pointing gimbals. Two degrees is consider acceptable or even normal. Also understand the gimbal has two power modes, low and high torque. When the main motors are started is when the gimbal is in high torque mode. Usually this corrects the gimbal's orientation.

fwiw, pictures are always helpful to see what you are seeing....
