When P4P is powered up I can see and hear the ribon cable by the tilt motor catch and jump when the gimbal initializes and tilts past 90 degrees. It's only a matter of time until it catches and tears. Anyone else see and hear this behavior? Is this the normal operation of the gimbal? I am a bit concerned as my P4 did not do this.

That's normal, no worries, you will hear the sound when it reaches to its limitation.

Dji Natalia, it's not when it reaches the limits, it happens after it passes the 90º downward. The ribbon cable is not well positioned and it causes in the gimbal arm. After 90º, it gets loose and back to the original position, hence the click.
Mine does that too and I am wondering if it will lead to a tear and future gimbal failure.
