Mine waits until it's flying and does it randomly (as do others as I've read). I received no fix suggestions.
Gimbal seizure fix/repair?

You got a free month. It could be your gimbal ribbon.

The ribbon was included in the gimbal replacement I bought. Should I still try and get a new one?

Yes. The ribbons they give you are trash

Hey man, so the gimbal works now. Thank you so much. However I get a VPS error when starting the drone now. I've cleaned the silicon (or whatever they cover the connections with) to try and get a better connection from the sensors to the board, but it doesn't help. Do you have any suggestions?

I really appreciate your help.
