So I have a rather interesting problem going on right now. Gimbal works fine normally but when I go full roll left or right it cuts loose and just flops around until I let off. It doesn't happen when partial left or even full right. but full left every time. I had an accident when I first bought it clipped a telephone pole but everything has been fine until the past couple flights. Ill upload a video when I get a chance. just wondering if anyone has seen this before?

Your gimbal is damaged, either it’s not getting feedback from one of the motors or the gimbal gyro is damaged. Either way it needs to go for repair.

Man that sucks. That thing that has me confused is that its not a consistent problem. camera moves fine it doesn't flop around at any time other than full stick left. Not arguing I agree ill send it in was just hoping for a simpler cheaper answer.

First you can try to calibrate the IMU and gimbal.

Thanks Tried gimbal already haven't done IMU yet. Ill give that a shot in the morning. There is also a horizon tilt whenever I first power up Ive read IMU calibration can fix this too. So maybe that is the issue. Otherwise Ill make a warranty claim. My concern is that Like I said I hit a phone pole like the second day I had it but that was 3 weeks ago haven't had any issues until my last couple flights. Just nervous this is an expensive investment I hate to see it malfunctioning.

Sounds like you need to make a warranty claim.

That's the plan if recalibrating doesn't work.

Ok so I recalibrated IMU and that did the trick. Level horizon after adjustment to .3 no more camera whiplash when full stick left. Here’s this morning after sunrise as a thank you for all the input.
