Need help! gimbal broke in a crash (w/ video)

[TalonJ]

I'm new with to drones and flew my P3S into a bush and tumbles to the ground through the bush from about 5 feet and landed upside down. It came down pretty easy so there's no visible damage, but now the gimbal makes a grinding noise and won't stabilize. Has anyone had this happen before? Is it fixable at home or better not to mess with it and just send it for service? Any help is greatly appreciated. I've learned a lot here. This is my 1st post. Here's a video of the issue

Go into options and recalibrate gimble. I think it will be fine

Thanks. I jut tried that and it went even more haywire than in the video. It was swinging around every which way. Then i got a warning that the 'gimbal motor overloaded' so I turned it off. Thanks for trying.

Looks and sounds like a loose scrub screw on the yaw arm. Fix:

Be careful though, the screw is delicate. I stripped mine and had to have the yaw arm replaced.

Thank you! That screw was exactly what was causing the problem. It was very loose and, you're right, it's a delicate little screw.
