Well,  that didn't take long.  Small twigs should be illegal !  :-)

More seriously.  I messed up.  Now the gimbal points the camera in the entirely wrong direction.  It moves freely but runs up against the stops when powered.  The app thinks the gimbal cage/restraint might still be on,  but it isn't.

I have the care/service package but am hoping I just need to run some calibration routine to get the gimbal functional again ?  Read and scanned the Mavic user manual but found only positioning system calibration instructions.

One of the two legs also got whacked so there is a 1/32" gap between the aft leg edge and the body but think it is workable as is ?

Any suggestions before I capitulate and try to figure out how to reclaim one of the two lives the repair/care package gives me ?

Thanks in advance.

BTW,  this is the most awesome technical machinery I think I have ever worked with !

Found a black plastic piece broken off inside the gimbal protective cover when I took it off.

Any visuals would be appreciated in order to see how bad it is. From what it sounds like, it may need to come in for service.
