Hi

Yesterday I wanted to try manual mode (which seems like a very stupid idea now) and had a small crash - 3 meter above ground. The Phantom hit some grass - not a road.
But I guess this may be enough to mess up my h3-3d gimbal.
As you can see, the "tilt motor" was injured a bit.

Now my gimbal is not acting right. It is very noisy - noisy coming from the "tilt motor". I noticed the same motor for hot after turning the P2 on for 2 minutes. Well, right now it actually still works, but I guess it's just a matter of time until I burn the motor, right?
I made this video for you to fully understand.

Now, what should I do? Replacement motor?
Or could it be calibrated away?
Have you tried it before?

Please help...

Mine did that without crashing when I placed my counter-weight on the motor like you have. Place in on the black arm behind the motor and see if the vibration goes away.
