    Replaced ribbon wire and now the gimbal motor is moving all over the place when it is powered up

    Very interesting. OK, so from what I can understand you want me to check the board that is inside the camera container. There are two boards in there, one that lies on top of the other, so I will call the one we see first when I remove the screws, the first board and then the one where the SD...

    Suffering from SGS (spastic gyroscope system) Gimble....

    I broke the ribbon wire, replaced it and the camera set up about 30 degrees facing towards the right. I took the pieces apart again to check connections and now the camera is doing a spastic dance when the drone is powered up. I have another thred going saying that the replacement ribbon may be...

    Replaced ribbon wire and now the gimbal motor is moving all over the place when it is powered up

    So I still have sgs (spastic gimbal syndrome) and I opened and checked my position of the camera spindle but I had to move the control board to really see that post. Here is what I saw with the computer chip in place and also trying to hold it away. Mine looks different.

    So you all seem to think the cable I purchased may be the issue...hmm...OK. I'm going to check out some web sites...Cloud City has none in stock and buying from amazon just means I have no idea where the part is really coming from.... If anyone else has anything to add, please continue this...

    Replaced ribbon wire and now the gimbal motor is moving all over the place when it is powered up

    That was kind of fun, taking apart the gimbal assembly and camera but I am now left with a gimbal motor that has a life of it's own when I turn on the drone....The motors are both firing and the camera is moving around...not ideal. The original problem was that I had no image signal at all...the...

    Phantom 3 Standard Checklist

    The only CSC that works all the time for me is the throttle down. I have had several experiences with the other two CSC maneuvers and the motor did not stop when I tried those and the drone became a problem. When you need the motors to stop, you need the motors to stop! Find your best way and do it.

    What size allen wrench is used to tighten the gimbal arm?

    Alas...I removed the entire gimbal assembly, removed the torn ribbon cable and replaced it with a new ribbon cable...fairly easy, tricky but got it done and only lost one screw somewhere in the process...My torx wrench did fine. The only torx were the set screw on the gimbal arm where it...

    What size allen wrench is used to tighten the gimbal arm?

    I have a basic set of allen wrenches...my smallest is too small and the next size up is too large. Are DJI screws made in metric?
