Whining Gimbal

[Axis1]

Hey all, just got moved into a position handling our drone fleet at work. Moving over from fixed wing operations so I thought I'd run this by you fine folks before I cry wolf. Full disclosure, the last person who attempted to run this program left zero documentation except for some flight plans in the site scan app. So who knows what has gone down. Anyways, I turn the 3DR Solo on in what has ostensibly been a couple of months and there is a high pitched squeal and vibration coming from the servomotor on the side of the gimbal(the one behind the Sony R10C is quiet). Additional the camera pitch adjustment on the shoulder sends signal just fine but the sensor itself moves in a jumpy manner. Is this normal for the gimbal with the R10C? Do things tend to lock up after a couple of months of sitting? Cheers!

I'd try some canned air. The gaps and tolerances are small and easily gummed up by excess dust.

Thanks for the advice, I'll give that a shot
