Yesterday I was flying our P3S and noticed the camera pitch movement doesn't seem right. According to the user manual, it should be able to tilt down 90°. Once during flight, I achieved this, but it then seemed stuck and unwilling to return level. Throughout the remainder of the flight, I was able to tilt it down about 30° but couldn't get it to 90 again. Is this a known problem and is there a fix for it?
Camera Pitch Movement at Full Tilt

No replies here, but that's okay. I did fix the problem and figured I would share in case someone else runs into it. It turns out that my ribbon cable was not fully inserted to the camera. I made a repair HERE but wasn't careful to get the cable inserted completely. It was just a hair from being fully inserted, enough to cause a problem. As a result, it was catching on the nearby gimbal arm as it tried to go full tilt.
