I really want to fly when I go on vacation in 9 days. There is no visible damage to gimbal structure. It was flying with a shake every once in a while. I found 3 screws loose, 2 in pitch housing and 1 on pitch motor shaft. I tightened the screws up and reassembled. I turned on the battery and the camera starts banging around. Over the last couple of days, these are the steps I have taken.
I unplugged the ribbon from the top of gimbal. Phantom flies, no gimbal banging.
Replace ribbon, unplug yaw motor. Phantom flies, no gimbal banging.
Replace ribbon, unplug roll and pitch board. Phantom flies, no gimbal banging.
Replace ribbon on roll, unplug pitch board. Phantom flies, no gimbal banging.
Replace ribbon on pitch board and it starts banging around.
Unplug camera, still bangs around.
Check pitch potentiometer reads 4 k. and is adjustable. Maybe a hair line crack? Possible break in the ribbon? Maybe just buy a new board? Any advice is appreciated!
