so I recently had a crash with phantom2 vision plus, crash wasn't too bad, only broke one prop and no other immediate signs of damage, however I have noticed that my gimble doesn't hold the camera level for left to right movement, but works fine for front to back.
I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice on what I should do to repair the gimble? Would my best bet be to take it to where I bought it for a service/ repair?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Repair by somebody else:
- Be prepared to wait
- Get out your checkbook/Credit Card
   1) Take it to the local dealer (if available)
   2) Take a shot with www.usdronerepair.com  Looks like they would charge a minimum of $80 to fix the gimbal.
   3) Get an RMA and send it in to DJI and see if they'll repair it
   4) Just bite the bullet and go ahead and spend the $675.00 for a new camera now

Repair-it-yourself option:
- Can save money and yu can learn more abuot your hobby
- How handy are you with intermediate electronics, a sodering iron and small parts?
- Bizillions of YouTube video on practically evey conceivable
