P4P slow Gimbal action

I am comparing 2 P4P drones (one white and one obsidian). The gimbal on the white one acts very different and a lot slower than the other one. I have reset and verified all gimbal parameters but still when flying the gimbal recovers from the AC turning rather slow. It takes about 1-2 seconds to get back to a horizontal view. This leads to tilted horizons in the video. You might even become 'seasick'.
What kind of things can I do or verify ?

thanks

The problem is most likely in the gimble speed adjustments. They can be changed in the GO 4 app depending on the results you seek, mostly for filming but also flying comfort. A quick youtube search will explain the how-to.

Thank you both for the suggestions.

After a factory reset the gimbal speed adjustments should also be reset and the same for the other drone that I compared it with. I have done all resets and all (auto) calibration steps. I found a gimbal rebuild error on my part and corrected that. But the result is still a very slow return to horizontal. I will again take apart the whole assembly and verify if I have not compromised the gimbal yaw motor when doing my repair. It is indeed the camera/gimbal from a crashed drone.

When new results are available I will post these here.

If you replaced a motor and not just a cable during the rebuild, knowing that is very useful. Gimble motor rotational positions are learned and stored. Meaning you can’t just swap a new motor in. It’s been a long time since I rebuilt mine but I do remember that was an issue. I either had to use my old motor or just the stator portion of the motor to make it work. Was 6 years ago, been too long to remember what I did. Try and research that before your next rebuild.

I replaced nothing, I only repositioned the original materials a bit for more movement freedom. Thank you for your reaction.
