Hi guys, I received a new P3 last week and when I opened the new box I noticed the gimbal lock had been knocked off in transit, obviously a rough delivery. I flew it today and while it preformed well in flight, the video is jittery and hardly what I would call stable. Upon landing I noticed that the gimbal appears to be rubbing on the plate, so it looks like the free movement is being restricted. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I got my P3P about 3 weeks ago and the gimbal lock was also laying in the bottom of the box.  Luckily the camera works fine.

No restrictions here. Those clear plastic gimble gaurds aren't very effective.
There is a method to squeezing them into place, that they do lock in and stay intact.
A YouTube video shares this info...


I still need to purchase a proper gimble gaurd/lens cover...

I adjusted the set screw to make it move easier
