I've a Gimbal problem with my Phantom 2 Vision + V3.

There seems to be a noise and vibration coming from the base gimbal motor. The gimbal is not working now, but the camera still works. I already ordered a " Phantom 2 Vision Plus Gimbal Ribbon Cable " and replaced it, but unfortunately I've still the same issue. I also checked the 3 plugs on the top of the mount and I did a Basic and Advance IMU calibration.

I've this problem since a crash some weeks ago, had to bend the gimbal a bit. Does anyone have any idea what is going on with my gimbal?

Thanks in advance

Anyone? DJI?

likely your ribbon cable is damaged,  inspect closely for scrapes, cracks and/or punctures especially on the bottom bend.

If all is not "square" with the gimbal then it may cause issues with the control system.  There are inertial sensors and potentiometer both which are used to judge the position of the gimbal.  If due to bending, shaft rotation etc. the alignment is off you may experience vibration or poor control of the gimbal. There is also a set screw on the shaft that holds the camera and if this is loos or sheared due to accident this can definitely cause vibration.  There are a number of videos online regarding repair of some common issues with the gimbal.

I'm going to re-assemble the Gimball this week, let's see what happens.

Last weekend I've re-assemble the Gimball without success. Still got the same problem as before. I've checked the motors, sensors and cables nothing is damaged. What goes wrong?

Hope you find answer.  I have same issue.  Where did you get your replacement cable?  I see many folks having same issue.  Wondering if a bad cable?

Cable are available on eBay under Phantom 2 gimbal

Same issue here also...since April 2015.

Shaft is good, cable looks fine.

I'm wondering if a power cable got pinched and is not providing enough power to the gimbal motor?
Also to note that the gimbal motors get a little warm after about 5 minutes.

Hope someone figures this one.

Are you sure the camera did not separate from the shaft? Mine did and I did not realize it as it did not fall compleatly off, the magnets in the final gimbal motor held it on just enough that I had to pull just a bit to free it. It is not a hard fix with some epoxy to the shaft only problem I had was the horizon alignment is off a bit but the gimble responds good

I got a bit sick of the camera being fragile so i took off the camera and left the top plate so i get all telemetry on the phone ,,, i get all the satellites battery info gps everything except the camera so i stuck a go pro on there and bang ,,, if i crash the worst thing now ,,,, scratches
the gps also capture sound ,,
