Hi guys, a couple weeks back i had the misfortune of crashing my P3 pro, clipped a palm tree and down it went gimbal first towards the corner of a sidewalk, the impact was strong enough to snap off the gimbal right between the camera and the gimbal base, after a couple of tears (lol) i analized the wreck and saw an opportunity of fixing it, bought some .50 stainless steel wire, a set of some drill bits for jewlery and some metal epoxy. I managed to "sew" together the two pieces with the wires and finish the bond with the epoxy ( it was like heart surgery, took me like an hr and a half) amazingly it held up quite perfect, now, while there was no damage to the camera there was some grinding noise coming from the gimbal, i said it was too good to be true, the vibration caused this jello efect in the video, very bad jello efect, i new it was from the vibration the gimbal was causing, it also started with a very inclined angle, had to take it to -7.0 just to level it, tried to calibrate the gimbal but it failed every time, i than noticed that there was to much play in the gimbal causing that grinding noise, i looked i little bit closer and noticed an alan screw right in the end, to my surprise it was a little loose ( aparently the impact caused it ) gave it a little torque with the wrench and voila, perfect video, gimbal calibrates, and the image starts off leveled, so guys, just check that little screw, it might be the answer.

Get your buns out there and buy a Powerball ticket.

On the one hand you may be very lucky. On the other hand you may be a genius!
Great job!

I partially disassembled mine yesterday - just the upper part of the shell. It was a somewhat qualified success - there's still a very small pucker in two different places, but the "rib" (I think it has been referred to as a "tab" by most posters) is back inside where it belongs and, as long as one doesn't make a super close inspection, it looks good. Works fine too, all things considered.
