Hi there,
So i was flying slowly and ran into a branch and brought my mavic down.
The gimbal came off with 3 of the rubber mounts and i was able to place it back. When i started the craft the gimbal stays still. The screen says "motor overloaded".
The camera appears to give good picture.
I don't have the time to send away.
Are dealers around the area capable of doing repairs?
i am to leave on vacation in 9 days and this was the reason for this purchase.
Ugh. I feel so stupid...

Take a good pic or two of the gimbal close up. Check the ribon cables that are part of the gimbal to see if they are snapped etc ... you might just have to send it in for repair though

Did you try recalibrating the gimbal?

The ribbons appear intact.
I see no real physical damage.
I have not attempted to recalibrate the gimbal.

I attempted the gimbal auto calibration and produced no movement on the gimbal.
I've restarted the craft and nothing happens.
