Gimbal help

[Colton48]

hello,

Recently my drone decided to battle a tree and the tree won.

Well after replacing the gimbal arms and a flex cable this is what I’m left with

The gimbal motors all seem to be working, but it’s not calibrating.

Any suggestions?
Much appreciated!

I'd suggest that you may have inserted the pitch motor shaft into the camera body 180° off.
The flat side of the shaft should face the rear of the drone.

Thanks for the input! I've checked and it appears to be accurate, I am not seeing anything out of the ordinary.
I've attached complete pictures to show for additional information.

Any help / suggestions I can try is greatly appreciated.
At this rate it almost certainly appears to be gimbal motor related, I just cant figure out which one.


If anyone requires additional videos / pictures / etc, please let me know I would be happy to provide them.
Again I greatly appreciate any feed back.

Thanks!

So after re-reading your post I believe I misread it the first time.
The issue was as you described.

I've attached a picture for an archive for future members that experience this to hopefully fix theirs.

This resolved my issue.
My drone will be flying above 150FT at all times from here on out haha.

Again, I sincerely appreciate your help on this.
Thanks so much!

Glad you fixed it, however the motor in your picture is the roll motor, and it is almost 180° out.
On the roll motor, the flat side of the shaft should be aligned with the top of the camera.
The reason that I only mentioned the pitch motor, is because that is the only one that has to be disassembled while replacing the flat cable, and I overlooked that you had typed that you replaced gimbal arms also.
