Took my drone up last night and the camera was shaky and I could see the right landing gear in the frame. Brought it back down and noticed the camera is about 45 degrees to the right. Did gimbal and IMU calibration several times and it didn't help at all. When the drone is powered on I can take my finger and easily move the camera left and right but I can feel resistance if I try to move it up and down. So I am thinking my gimbal yaw motor is burned out. I just bought this on January 26th of this year. I bought it at Best Buy but have a feeling they won't be any help. Very disappointing. I never had a problem with my P3P.

Any help at all would be appreciated.

Thanks

I had exactly the same issue only a couple of days ago. The gimbal motors on the P4P are not fit for purpose and lack power/torque for the camera.
