HI all, my P3A gimbal isnt working.

When i boot the drone up the gimbal does its little dance and can be controlled from the flight controller. After about 20 seconds the gimbal just drops dead and does not respond.
I have attached a video please can you watch and see if you know whats going on.

Cheers

Thomas

Did you crash the aircraft? I noticed the case is split open?

This fault has occurred to quite a few people, search the forum for 'gimbal problem'. However I do not recall anyone saying what the solution is.

Thank you, I took the top off to replace the USB port cable.

I will look it up.

Same problem with me.
Many people have this problem, but none solutions

I know this is not related to the problem you are having,  but I would like to point out to people who are having the jello or shaking effect in their video something I noticed in your video.  If you look at the rubber dampeners,  you can see that they are not inserted through the holes on the bottom.  The tops are correctly installed,  but without the bottoms you have the camera gimbal suspended only by the plastic pins.  So every vibration and gust of wind causes undampend motion.   Jello.
   The same is true if the rubber is ripped.
