P4P slow Gimbal action

[waterwin]

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

Did it just start doing that? Any motor or ribbon changes on that gimbal?
Could also try to factory reset the controller and drone. This thread that might help resetting the controller. Actual steps to hard reset GL300C Controller?

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.
