please switch off the drone and let it cool down...and then restart and fly... Also check with your hand whether the gimbal is freely moving

Have you checked that nothing obstructs the gimbal before you get in the air? You should also try to move the gimbal with the controller before take off and see that it works fine. Try to move very carefully the gimbal while the drone is shut off to any angle and then turn on again and repeat the moving with the controller, unless anything is broke this should help.

I had the same exact problem. No matter a restart, resting it, this issue always came back. Anything that restricts the gimbal, I've learned can cause this, although I never used any sun shield of filters or protectors. I sent mine in as it was covered under warranty. It was back in a week. I could be wrong, but I doubt this is something any arm chair engineer could fix. This is a magnet and electronics issue that the manufacturer can fix easily. As a practice now, I return the camera to neutral straight ahead position before powering off and storing.

Are you using any filters on the camera?
This has caused problems for some people.
