Gimbal item worth mentioning

[mnoutdoors]

ok, this has happen twice so it is more than just coincidence. I’ve been flying in sandy dry conditions and have had a sticky gimbal twice now.(edit,getting gimbal overload )After very close investigation with a 15X magnification lense. I noticed a small grain of sand between the moving portions of the gimbal just enough to be a bind on the system. And also
Random. I realize this is not everyone’s issue but it may be for some so hope it helps someone.........
Happy flying and remember keep your props up and signals strong .

Were you getting any gimbal overload messages? That's what usually happens when one of the gimbal motors binds. Or a gimbal motor obstructed message.
