Tilted gimble

[wa5tef]

My Phantom 4 tumbled off the golf cart seat and fell about two feet to the ground. The only apparent damage was to the camera/gimble. It now points about five degrees to the right and is tilted so the horizon video shows a noticeable tilt. I’ve tried all the normal adjustments and though it does seem to correct the tilted horizon, temperorially it always returns tilted after power off. I am considering taking it apart to see if anything inside the assembly can be moved back into position but I certainly don’t want to do more damage!

Can anyone advise on what I should do or how to do it? Returning it to DJI is not an option.

Thanks everyone

Isnzone! Thanks for your reply. I’ll give those a try. All seems to work ok, just crooked. I had intended to open it up eventually to see what happened internally but hesitated at the thought of doing serious damage to the gimble.

Thanks again
