Crashed into tree, now when I turn camera on, it is stuck facing up

EDIT SOLVED: I just had to recalibrate IMU

When it's off, I can manipulate the gimbal in any which way, and I already tried to calibrate it, and it didn't have any errors, but when the drone is on, it is stuck looking up, and I can't look down or left/right. Thoughts?

No info from the controller?
Does the gimbal do it’s “dance” on startup.
What are you flying?

What info should I look for? It doesn't say "gimbal overload" or any errors. And no it doesn't do it's dance, haha.

And it's a mavic 2 pro

Hey! Update; I figured it out! I just had to recalibrate the IMU. Not sure if you cared, maybe if anyone else is having the issue, this post can help them

I have the same problem, except it's stuck facing down when off. When I turn it on it does it's dance, faces forward, and works properly. When I start to fly the camera eventually faces down and dangles a little and won't move. Once I let it hover for a second it'll go back to normal, but if I fly, again faces down and won't work.

I was able to fix it by recalibrating the IMU, have you tried that?

Mine began doing that when I attached ND filters. Don't know if over time that will harm the gimbal.

Yeah I recalibrated it and it says it's fine, and it works fine. It just malfunctions when I start to fly. It'll drop, face down, and it won't move. Once I let it hover in place, it'll go back to normal. It'll repeat every time I move it.

Idk about that, but mine didn't have any filters. Just the original cover.
