all-new out-of-the-box, all updates, won't tilt

[7aull]

Gads first post and it has to be a problem!
Disclaimer: HAVE read thru a bunch of 'no tilt' threads. Nothing seems similar
specs:
brand new P2/3D kit.
Freshly mounted 3D - no flight time. Interference board installed
_______
Software updated today:
Main Contr: 3.04
P330CB (wot ever that is!): 1.0.1.27
Zemuse: 1.0.0.6
__________
First boot up (before above upgrade):
-gimbal aims DOWN, no TILT control on TX (ie inoperative TILT)
-gimbal does maintain motion in other axis
Upgrade as above:
-gimbal rights itself (yay!)
-BUT: running the X-1 calibration: FAIL - no control with tilt control, nor response on the x-1 to the TILT lever.
-AND: if I use the LEFT Stick and push LEFT or RIGHT - gimbal PANs L or R! (follows stick motion) (does this in either Standby/preflight mode OR spun up for flight)

Thoughts?
my thanks

Go to the DJI Phantom RC assistant software, click 'Advanced', go to 'Gimbal' and calibrate the H3-3D there. My tilt is set to 2, horizontal & vertical both at 0.
Hope this helps.

Do the standard stick calibration but before you hit finish toggle the x1 lever a couple of times. That did the trick for me.

Thanks for the input guys-

no go. no change....

Sounds like maybe the leads from your receiver board to your NAZA have gotten switched...the one in X1 should be in X2, and vice-versa.

IO-
I would check that out if someone can point out where the 2 leads are?

Just want to update here...

Contacted my Dealer (Davesmotors.com) and we did some back-and-forth email solutions:
-make sure the tilt lever is not stripped on its post (wasn't)
-remove is and rotate the Tilt shaft fully L&R to the "stops", while running a X1 Cal in the RC Assist.
Discovered: there IS no "stops" - shaft will spin either way infinitely. So my Q was: is the potentiometer bolloxed?
Dealer seems to think so and has requested a new TX from DJI.

Did note a thread here that numerous folks had bad X1 lever/potentiometers out of the box too.

Will update as it unfolds....

Try calibrating first using the RC Assistant and move the switch a couple of times and then calibrate using the Phantom 2 Assistant doing the same switching a few times.

That happened to me after I updated all firmware, the gimbal tilted facing down permanently. Everytime I toggle the switch it'll twitch but then return to the facing down position.

Thread below is what helped me fix the issue:

Hopefully this'll help you too.

My thanks for pointing out this thread.

My Dealer seems convinced the problem is with the remote control (so, a mechanical issue?) rather than software, and has contacted DJI on my behalf to replace this under warranty.
DJI has acknowledged the request (quick!) so I will see what this produces.

Meanwhile - I will give this a go!
