My P3 Pro flipped while coming in to land (moved suddenly and caught the edge of a roof) and fell upside down. Only visible damage is chipped/bruised props and a chip in the gimbal roller, but the IMU is taking up to 3 minutes to warm up and the video is now jittery even in a small breeze (see
for example). Any thoughts on what might have been damaged in the fall? Is is something I'd need to send the P3 back to DJI to repair? I have recalibrated IMU twice and compass several times.
 
Did you change props?
 
Yes, should have mentioned that I had a spare set of props.
 
Closely inspect motors and motor mounts. Listen to motors at various rpm with props off
 
Looks more like a damaged gimbals horizontal motor
 
Would I feel that as play in the gimbal?

No you would feel a thing as that is a stability problem once it's in the air. As Dirty Bird said try a gimbal calibration if the P3 has such a cal.
