    Is this a pitch motor or board issue?

    I did do a reconnect with no luck. I had the quad almost completely disassembled a few weeks ago and now I'm wondering if I have a loose connection in the antenna wires where they plug into the gimbal. Hopefully I'll have time to look into that tonight. Thanks!

    Is this a pitch motor or board issue?

    Update: I ordered a pitch motor on eBay, which just came in today. (USPS first class took 6 days from NJ to NC!!!!) Installed the motor and it fixed the gimbal issue. Thanks for all your help! Now I'm having an issue with weak controller signal...

    Is this a pitch motor or board issue?

    I've taken it apart, but don't know where to place leads to test resistance, and haven't been able to find any videos on that. I believe it's the motor, because I can turn it and feel it catch on something. Have a new motor on the way now.

    Is this a pitch motor or board issue?

    Forgive my ignorance, but how will I test the potentiometer? I have the multimeter ready!

    Is this a pitch motor or board issue?

    It actually hits the "bump" (a momentary stop) only about 20 degrees less than level, so nowhere near the stop. I also noticed that the stop was intact when replacing the ribbon cable.

    Is this a pitch motor or board issue?

    I've had a few crashes when my P3S would lose GPS and go into ATTI mode and the drone would drift quickly into trees before I could recover. I replaced the gimbal ribbon cable with a DJI part, but it still didn't fix this issue: My camera will pitch downward, but hits a "bump" part of the way...
