The camera on my P3S is tilting and I believe it is being caused by the ribbon cable too close to the gimbal arm. When I move the arm back and forth I hear it scratching against the cable. Below is an image of the cable which shows it resting against the arm. Does anyone else have this close of a clearance between the two? If not then anyone know the best way to tackle separating it?

I should add that I have had no crashes with this drone.

The ribbon can be easily moved if you think that is the problem. Most the time there is a misalignment in the roll motor shaft and the camera. There are lots of U tube videos that show you how to line it up.

Just press your thumb down to that part of the cable and drag it out a little bit while pressing down. It will move and you'll be just fine.
 
Ended up being caused by a lose screw inside the gimble, which is probably what WV Rootman was referring to. Just took it up for a test flight and it worked great. Thanks.
