I've had my P3 standard for less than a week, less than 2 hours flight time on it. Was flying it today in an area I fly it in regularly, was not recording video, was just taking snap shots.

No crash, didn't hit anything, I was in the open air and the gimbal went crazy, started moving all over the place on it's own, can't control it with the remote. Then lost image on my tablet. Landed the drone safely.

Now if I turn the drone on, no matter the circumstances: RC on/off tablet with DJ Go app on or not, the gimbal does the same thing moves uncontrollably. App connects to the drone intermittently but no image signal at all.

It will not transmit a video signal to my tablet at all, and the gimbal won't stop moving wildly no matter what.

At a total loss for what to do.

Check the cable that goes into the camera from the gimbal. I've had the same issue, the camera was moving around wildly and it turned out that cable came loose inside the camera. It was working fine after I pushed that plastic clip over the connector to tighten it. If it's not loose at the connection, then your cable might be damaged.
