Hi Guys. I don't know but I am hoping this may help someone out as it has me. My gimbal on start up was making a horrible noise, not only that it as moving up and down on its own accord, also in flight it kept turn left and then flicking back sharply.
I took off the gimbal and inspected it thoroughly, I noticed the main vertical arm was just slightly bent. when I sighted it across the rear part of the gimbal. I took the bull by its horns and with two hands I applied firm pressure twice and again I cast my eye across it and saw it was running horizontal with a rear part of the gimbal. I then fixed the gimbal back to the phantom and powered up. Wow to my amazement, the horrible grinding sound had gone and the gimbal is working absolutely perfect. I feel the gimbal is a precise engineered piece of kit and slight disalgnment is causing a lot of the errors I have read about.
If anyone would like a detailed photo of where my arm was bent I can post one tomorrow evening on this thread.
I have had help from you guys so it would be great to give back and maybe help someone else. Thanks
