I am a newbie, so you can guess what my topic is about...

I'm sure I'm not the only one to receive my new drone and have a small crash the same day.....

I was doing well for a while, but I got disoriented after rotating and I hit an object from an elevation of about 7' and now my gimbal is acting up.

It keeps twitching left and right and up and down.  I have tried to re-calibrate with the software, power cycled, etc.  I noticed the gimbal support attached to the phantom was a little bent, so I straightened it out. It did not fix the twitching problem.  

Any of you vererans out there able to offer advice????

Same issue.  Seems like gimbal trying to go to 'home' position but is disoriented.  Did Basic and Advanced calls to IMU using software - no joy. Appreciate any feedback.

Me too.  I am wondering if I need to replace what looks like a perfectly good gimbal, or what?

As it is, this is not a workable situation.

If you try the above repair and there is no change you probably damaged one of the potentiometers. They are easy to repair and its a $35 dollar fix.
