Bad gimbal ?

[Norval]

Hi fellow pilots
Just bought my second drone, a P4P, but as I sold my other drone long time ago, don't know if this is normal at startup, as the gimbal reaches max movement limit and also is not fully aligned with the landing gear.
Should I go and go for a repair/return?
Or this is completely normal and within the tolerance limits ?

I have a P4 so I am assuming the process might be the same. Have you tried a gimbal recalibration? Assuming your unit is new, hasn't been crashed and has no firmware issues. Mine was a little bit like that and I did a recal and all was good.

I dont have a P4 only a P3A but have you tried a gimbal calibration?

Thank for your response (s).
Did the calibration, but 2 out of 3 times still bends a little to the left.
The one thing that makes me suspicious is the startup: as shown on the video, with the DJIGO app open, I start the drone, and in few seconds I get this message on the left of the screen that's says "gimbal peach reach movement limit". The question is, is this normal for every startup on a P4P? If not, then is a defective gimbal.

My P4P also does this, I presume it's 'normal' (??)

Well, seems to be normal, as nobody else has complained about a bad gimbal after startup with this message...

Not normal. Make sure you are calibrating your gimbal on a completely level surface.
