Has anyone else notice a "clicking" noise when tilting the gimbal? Either by hand (powered-off) or with the gimbal wheel?

It's like the ribbon cable gets stuck!

You can hear it here:

Yes, I have two P4Ps and they do the same clicking noise during the full tilting movement when the drones are turned on. With the drones turned off, I carefuly hold the camera like you did and could see that there is a momentary friction between the flat cable and the right pivot arm of the camera when the movement reach the specific point. You should not worry as this small assembly defect neither interfere with the camera, nor the gimbal.

I am assuming the same thing!

I just wanted to confirm that it is something common and avoid returning it for a replacement only to have the same problem again!
