One possibility is a bad SD card.
It's simple to check .. just try it without any SD card, that's the problem..
If it works fine, that's the cause.

When I removed the SD card, nothing happened.

The issue still hasn't been resolved.

Tryed playing with gimble roll or calibrating

Tilt motor or gimble motor esc board (controls all 3 gimble motors), not difficult to replace. Thankfully I keep spares so trial and error is simple. Drone tools are your friend.

I have already replaced the Gimbal motor ESC board, but it's still the same. I am planning to replace the Gimbal camera IMU board located at the back of the camera case.Please help

This is the Gimbal Camera IMU board that I'm planning to replace.

 

[Capt KO]

Did you replace the tilt motor? If camera does the warm up routine then drops it might just be a weak motor. Would have expected the esc board but you replaced it. Understand your frustration, I've been fortunate enough to have spare parts on hand.

DroneMata - Did replacing the camera IMU fix your problem?

I am experiencing the same issue as you although maybe not quite as bad (after tilting down mine will drunkenly return to almost level after 4 for 5 seconds - although the camera is still facing down 5 to 10 degrees).

Also in flight lateral movement still has stabilized video but rotational movement results in the horizon quickly becoming out of level and the slowly returning to level after rotation stops.

Also when my drone powers up the camera will go through the usual movements and then center itself perfect. After about 3 to 5 seconds after centering the camera will jerk upward slightly then slowly (not real slow) move downwards to about 45 degress and then come back up to about 5 to 10 degrees pointed down. Pressing the C1 button will move the camera to slightly past 90 degrees and slightly below 0 degrees (around the same 5 to 10 degrees as the "new" zero).

I have tried multiple IMU and gimbal calibrations.
