The other day when starting up my PA3 it started making the clicking noise as if gears were being striped. So I shut it down for awhile and then turned it back on, the clicking is gone but now the camera is pointing about 20 to 25 degrees to the left. Any ideas on how to get it centered again.

Hey, sorry to read on your recent issues with your aircraft. Can you tell me if you were involved in any type of crash? The clicking sounds like a gimbal issue.  Is perhaps the ribbon torn on the gimbal or is there something restricting the gimbal from moving?

There was no crash, I had just used it a few hours earlier shooting a video. Ribbon is not torn that I can see, and nothing is restricting its movement. I can take pictures and a video but the landing bar is in the way. Is there anyway I can center it myself. Everything works fine it just points left when turned on.

There is a post somewhere on this forum, but I can't find it....

Have a look at this with regards to the screw that clamps the gimbal to the motor shaft:-

Yeah sounds like a misalignment issues. The p3's are notorious for it. Its a realy simple fix if thats the problem. Search youtube for p3 misalignment fix or something similar. There are many videos that can help you.

Have you tried to calibrate the gimbal? Can you calibrate it successfully? Besides, have you got any error message regarding to the gimbal in the APP? If it is possible, please post a short video about this issue here. Thank you in advance.
