Gimble Overheat Notification

[BuckeyeTroy]

So I had my first major crash, tree at about 70ft, but did manage to retrieve my done. I powered down the battery and cleaned it up. Upon starting up I get the Gimble overheat. I did have a ND filter on but removed and still get the notification. The camera works and still tilts but is tilted a few degrees left. All advice and instruction or direction greatly appreciated. tia

Sorry about your crash. With the power off, try turning the gimbal through it's axes, and see if it is binding or bent in any direction. Then power on the drone and try to do a gimbal autocalibration. If it fails the autocalibration then there might be something mechanically wrong with it such as a gimbal ribbon cable.

The gimble moves freely but has a tilt to the right slightly. I tried the calibration on the gimble but get a message that it failed. I appreciate your help but I'm almost at wits end. I really don't want to remove it but I'm afraid I'm at that point.

You might first try replacing the gimbal ribbon cable. Thats the cheapest part and might fix the problem.

Thanks, I'll try that first.
