I treed my Classic.

[Army Vet]

I was flying at night on my home property. Trying to get some sun down shots. and some long distance city lights.

Anyway, long story short. Got it in a tree. In over 20 years of droning. Only my second time. Got it down, unfortunately the hard way and it hit the dirt from about 25 feet.

Turns on. Camera works. Get error message "Gimbal stuck" and does not do the "dance" Camera does swivel on its mount.

I wont try to fly it until I change the props. In the mean time. Any thoughts on what to look for on the gimbal. I am good with electronics and such. My dexterity does suck a bit at my age...UGHH

Thanks
Bill

Thanks for the reply.
Upon closer examination. One of the ;little clips that holds the Gimbal to the body is broken off. So that whole thing i wobbling.
Are there spare parts available anywhere?

yes! and after replacement of gimbal assembly it needs special calibration tools for re alignment of the gimbal level

I saw the calibration video have not watched it yet. What special tools might they be ?

 

[Cafguy]

You will need to calibrate the new gimbal using python and a few other "tools" just watch a video on it on youtube and you will see. its confusing at first BUT youll get it.
