Trying to use the Gimbal Wheel to change the camera pitch. But the camera is not responding. Are there any settings I should check to troubleshoot before sending the controller in for repair?

Very wild guess #1: Gimbal sensitivity at 0
Very wild guess #2: Wrong wheel used
Very wild guess #3: Wrong direction of turning the gimbal wheel

As you know, the stubby post on the right side of the RC, pushing it forward and then again, will drop the gimbal/camera 90 degrees down, and up again 90 degrees to face the horizon. For whatever (??) reason, I expected the wheel to give the same behavior.
Not so, use the wheel to move the gimbal more slowly from horizontal to vertical in order to achieve some angle inbetween 0 degree and 90 degree.
I was not holding the wheel long enough for the gimbal to respond.

As you know, the stub on the right of the RC shifts the gimbal a full 90 degrees from 0 to 90 (horizon to straight down). For whatever reason, I expected the wheel to behave the same way. (To "assume" makes an ass of you and me.)
Instead, the wheel gives you finer control, to achieve an angle between 0 and 90. But it takes a tick or two to respond. Whereas the stub gives an instantaneous response.

User error!!!

Hi, there. Sorry for your inconvenience. May we know the model of your drone and controller? Besides, if it's possible please provide us with a related video for our further checks. Thank you.
