Re: How to fix a vibrating / shaking / crazy P2V+ camera gim webstereo - I think it is safe to say that DJI has a quality control issue with the camera being "level" to the horizon. When my first camera gimbal failed after a crash, I bought a new camera/gimbal assembly and right out of the box...

Re: How to fix a vibrating / shaking / crazy P2V+ camera gim Andrew - I'm sure that would work. You only need a tiny spot of glue maybe the size of a pin head. If you use too much glue or a liquid glue like Super Glue you run the risk of the whole motor getting ruined.

Re: How to fix a vibrating / shaking / crazy P2V+ camera gim parbar is correct, however if you don't need to pull out the ribbon cables then I would leave them alone!!! As yotamkasam showed in his photograph, you can use a small clamp to hold the motor/camera assembly together once you put a...

Re: How to fix a vibrating / shaking / crazy P2V+ camera gim I would NOT forcibly pull the camera away from the motor if it is not completely loose. When mine took a hit, the motor assembly was loose and only the magnets were holding it together. Mine came apart easily and I put the JB Weld...

Re: How to fix a vibrating / shaking / crazy P2V+ camera gim npalen - my ribbon cable wasn't wrapped around the shaft. It was folded back on itself and tucked into the cover. I just moved it enough to get to the screw. Be careful pulling out the ribbon cable from the motor. It actually has...

Re: How to fix a vibrating / shaking / crazy P2V+ camera gim The potentiometer is probably working correctly but the motor rotates the silver pin that protrudes and fits flush through the aluminum housing that holds the camera. (See my picture). The pin is press fit through the aluminum...

Re: How to fix a vibrating / shaking / crazy P2V+ camera gim npalen - There are two screws on a cover that covers the ribbon between the camera and the motor. Remove those screws and remove the cover. The camera is mounted to the shaft with one screw that goes through the pin coming from the...

hollermga - I don't know if you ever figured out the answer to your question but the answer is "yes". The camera will still work and you can put the gimbal clip back on the hold it in place since the gimbal motors will be deactivated.

Re: How to fix a vibrating / shaking / crazy P2V+ camera gim My camera is like that too. We aren't talking about that motor. There are three. Two have the silver caps (the one you are looking at and the one that goes through the base plate that attaches to the Phantom). The third motor...

Re: How to fix a vibrating / shaking / crazy P2V+ camera gim Pepijn1908 - I'd love to see a picture of your configuration. I think we are talking about different motors. The tilt motor has the silver cap on the end of the magnets. This is the motor that allows the camera to tilt straight...

Re: How to fix a vibrating / shaking / crazy P2V+ camera gim Good job on your explanation and photos! I wish that DJI would have made the pin through the potentiometer about 5 mm longer and add a threaded end with a lock nut to hold it in place. This way, if the camera becomes off alignment...

The half cresent moon "pin" runs through the gimbal motor. The flat portion of the pin needs to be on the top and level with the horizon. The pin comes out the other side of the motor and the aluminum portion of the camera assembly that fits over the magnets is supposed to be press fit onto...

tedw123 - A lot of these issues go WAY beyond firmware. Hard landings, mishandling the camera even on hand catches, fumbling with the camera gimbal clip when putting it on or taking it off... the gimbal gets damaged because it is really sensitive and in my opinion, poorly designed. The rear...

I just took apart the gimbal motor on my new gimbal/camera assembly to see what orientation the potentiometer is supposed to be from the factory. The flat portion of the pin should be on the top and level with the horizon. I'm interested to see what solution you come up with - personally I am...

yotamkasam - When my first camera gimbal went berserk after a crash, I disassembled everything hoping to find a clear answer to the problem. That particular gimbal motor had me stumped. I couldn't figure out why there was nothing holding it together other than the magnets in the motor! I went...
