HELP!!! (please)
I got a new RotorPixel gimbal back in January, installed gimbal, rocked it by hand, gimbal worked great. Took it out for first actual flight, had it in the air for less than 10 seconds and it crashed into a small bush upon take off due to a very strong wind. It was only at 5 feet off the ground. After that, gimbal would not work. Nothing came unplugged, no visible damage to gimbal or control board, or wires, or Phantom. Phantom took off again and flew fine after that, no problem. Gimbal just laying there doing nothing.
Then back and forth with Keri at RotorPixel for help diagnosing this problem, he wanted me to run some software diagnostics on a pc (I only have Mac), so easiest solution seemed to be order a new controller board (his suggestion).
I received the replacement control board about two weeks ago.
I just now installed it today, powered up the Phantom, and the gimbal just lays there like a dead fish. It's as if the motors are not even getting power.
I am well over $500 into this gimbal thing and so far no joy. VERY frustrating!
Thanks for any help that anyone can offer.
