Yesterday I was getting ready to fly and once I got everything powered up I noticed my video feed had a green hue on it and video was froze ..gimble was still working fine tilted up and down ok. .the weird part was when I picked up the solo and turned it upside down the green hue cleared up. .but video still wanted to fteeze up. .thought maybe it was my hero 4 going bad so I tried my hero3+ same problem. ..so I figured it could be bad solo hdmi cable so took gimble out and put it in my other solo and same problem. ..I am stumped. ..bought gimble on ebay and have always had small issues. .vibrations. ..it never pointed straight ahead. ..but it always worked.until yesterday. ..any thoughts?
 
Try to run a cable from your camera to the HDMI cable , bypassing the gimbal.
 
Try spraying some contact cleaner in both HDMI connecters on the gimbal
 
90% chance your gimbal HDMI connector (the one on top) or the ribbon cable receiver have cold solder joints or (more likely IMO) pads lifting from the board.

The big clue here is that inverting the bird causes clear video to appear.
