I recently crashed my drone into a tree. Seemingly the only thing broken was the flex cable. I watched a ton of videos and went step by step with a video on installing a new flex cable. I'm pretty knowledgeable about working with cables and electronics.

Does anyone have any ideas why my gimbal would be break dancing, pun intended.

After replacing my flex cable mine did the same thing.
Turned out that I had installed the pitch motor shaft into the camera 180° off from the way it should have been.
Corrected that, and all was normal again.

Yup, that was my problem. Finally found a video that helped.
