Help. Drone fell about 15meters after hitting a tree.

I don't see any exterior damage except for the broken prop guards.

Turn on the drone and the gimbal is making loud noise as if it was updating.

Here is the vide:

Should I be concerned? What can I do to resolve this.

Thanks on advance.

Have you looked at this

Thanks you very much. Will try that asap!!!

Have you looked at this Gimbal

Thank you very much. it fixed the issue. i have another question.....

Should i discard the props. They aren't broken, but i'm not sure if the impact from hitting the tree would have cause it to deform or cause it to be unbalance???

Thanks in advance.

Yes it make no sense to save $20 but risk $100 - $200 cost in  repair.

It would be best to replace them, since you don't want to risk that the hubs themselves were compromised.

So it sees the problem is intermittent. checked it last night and the buzz/vibration came back. made adjustments to the yaw screw again, but didn't make a difference. tested it this morning and the buzzing/vibration was very minimal or close to none existent. i think the issue maybe with the panning motor as its quiet predominant when the drone pitches forward and the gimbals compensates by pointing up.

Have you also used camera calibration?
Might help.
