Lock gimbal movement

[tango]

Hi, I recently crashed my 3 day old phantom 2 & as a result, the gimbal has gone "floppy" & won't balance either vertically or horizontally. There is no resistance on the motors. Having said that the go pro still charges & fpv is working fine.

I'm just hoping to have to put up with it until the bank balance can order a new gimbal.

So question is, any tips on how I can "freeze" the gimbal in a certain position. Say with cable ties or something?

Thanks in advance
