Hi folks. Looking for som einsight on the gimbal. Couple weeks ago, set up for a flight and got a gimbal stuck error. BTW, it's a new drone with no crashes. The gimbal would do its movement cycle on start up but the azimuth control would not work not would it automatically maintain horizon in flight. I chalked it up to the cold air. Suspicions seemed confirmed when I booted it up several hours later indoors.
Two weeks go by and I go out for a flight and get the gimbal stuck notification again. There was movement on power up and the azimuth control seemed to work but once I launched it, the camera was very jittery, it seemed to act like it was in FPV mode when I yawed and as soon as I went forward, the camera jumped down to like -40 degrees and would remain there unless I hovered, manually returned ot to level. As soon as I moved forward, the same thing. The air was warm today.
I ended up doing complete calibration when I got home and it appears for the moment that fixed things but, I was hoping someone could explain what might have happened from start to finish.
Thx

With power off, move the camera around in all directions gently. If there is any sticking at all, there may be foreign material in the gimbal joints.
