So I was having this issue where when I would Yaw my P4P+ to either the left or the right, it would continue to slowly trail off in that direction even though there was no stick imput. This is extremely annoying when trying to compose photos of the Dallas downtown skyline from very far away

The steps I took to address the issue was as follows:
          - Calibrated IMU
          - Calibrated Gimbal

Then after leaving it to idle on the ground while plugged into my computer with the DJI assistant 2 up for a good 30min, I restarted the aircraft.
It made its noises booting up, then the gimbal immediately went to the right as far as it could, I looked at the aircraft status on my controller and it would pulse "gimbal motor overload" which this is the first time i've had this problem. i tried pushing against the gimbal slightly (which I know is dumb) to see if it had just gotten confused but it would push back against my finger, 1sec pulse. I looked at the battery after trying to turn the aircraft off, but it froze, and wouldnt turn off after doing the sequence 2 times. The LED on the battery button was the only light that was blinking as if there was an error, which i suspect there was.

Just to verify, the gimbal clamp has been removed when you see the reminder of Gimbal Motor Overload, right? Has the reminder gone after restarting the aircraft?

Also, please upload a short video of the gimbal issue, I'd like to look into it.

"just to verify, the gimbal clamp has been removed" wow this makes me think how many people are just stupid for you to go straight to that. and yes it was removed, I'm not stupid.

also the issue stopped after I restarted it. and I just as of posting this turned my P4P+ on and the gimbal did some very abnormal and concerning movements on boot up.

the movements were as follows (perspective is from the direction the camera is facing):
          - went to the left slightly
          - then to the right slightly
          - then it kind of moved back and forth slowly
          - and now it is rested slightly off to the left

I crashed my P4P+ before (it waypointed itself into a light pole ~20-30ft off the ground and fell) the only damage it suffered from what I could tell at the time was the shell came unclipped in some places, and the leg right leg i believe it was snapped and broke the antenna. I also believed there was some damage to the gimbal, i think.

Maybe you might have to send the drone in for repair and see, since after the crash it is causing gimbal problems

I‘m sorry to read the crash. The aircraft performance can not be ensured after the crash. I would recommend you to send it in for fully diagnosis and repair: http://www.dji.com/support

i haven't crashed the aircraft since the repair, I did get the gimbal problem on video after it bugged out during a flight. and I gotta say it's extremely weird I, it got stuck to the right after trying to access flight data files.
