hard crash to dirt below with props still moving.

Does the gimble and camera take a good beating and return to normal perhaps?

Good advice from @Cyberpower678. You have to assess the damage before you fire it up, or you could make matters worse.

Hitting the ground with props still turning might cause a problem with the motors or speed control. The gimbal can take a hit and might damage your ribbon cable, and could possibly have damaged an additional component, but really the only way to tell is by seeing what error messages you get after you turn it on again. As CP said, turn the gimbal motors by hand as well as your propulsion motors without power and see if anything is bent or binding, and if not, it might be safe to power it on. If you see or smell any smoke, pull the battery asap.

Other than that, pictures would be helpful, we can tell alot from some closeups.

Thanks thats what I am afraid of. And then the gimble itself would have to be replaced?

The gimbal might have to be replaced, that's the worst case scenario.
