Did you have any impact? please make sure that 8 pin connector is sitting tight. Try to make a gimbal calibration in dji go app

Sounds like the ribbon cable is is damaged/loose or one of the cables on top of the gimbal mounting plate. Do you get any image from the camera?

No impact but corosion due to the expose connectors. I leave up north in wind, water and snow environment, i guess the connectors should have been protected, we leave in some hard conditions up north and we love to fly.

I did try to make a calibration but it will not respond. After i have look carefully at the connection i saw the corosion. Is it normal that there is corosion on the connector of a guimbal?

You were right the ribbon was dammage by corrosion i do not know if it was on warranty . Since DJI are not able to confirm a warranty on that problem and that in canaada i would have had to send it to california and i do not think that this a good service, I just bought a new ribbon from a repair shop in a;berta the only repair shop in canada.

Anyway i found it myself by looking carrefully athe connectors on the guimbal. Hope that they will change the ingenering of the guimbal sin prder that the connector are not exposed
