Maiden flight: Gimbal seems to not be working. Please Help

[steele9999]

Just finished my Maiden flight with my new P2V+. I looks to me like the gimbal isn't working. What do you think? Do I need to do something to get it working?

i assume you removed the plastic gimbal lock before flying?

Yes I'm sorry I should have mentioned that the gimbal lock was removed.

I had similiar symptoms on my first flight with my new plus. It just didnt seem "right" compared to my prior plus. I basically powercycled, recalibrated (which should not matter, but hey..) and just basically started from scratch. Not sure if it was pure luck, but the camera/gimbal has been working smoothly and fine ever since..

The latest app seems to load with FPV mode checked as default, I think it's that.

I think that was it. I went into the setting on the app and saw that it was in FPV mode. Thanks so much.

Just went for a 2nd flight and that was the problem. Video was very smooth. Thanks again.
