Hey all, got a problem with my gimbal.
To begin with it wouldn't initialize properly; it would do the possessed dance thing but then go limp and face downwards.
I fixed that by reducing the tension on the main video feed cable so that there was no feeling of obstruction whatsoever when I rolled the camera back and forth manually. I suppose it thought that there was something in the way before that.
Anyhow, it now initializes and goes to the correct default position but when I try to perform a gimbal calibration, it does the first few movements but then returns to the default position and the tilt motor (I think it's that one, and not the roll motor) starts grinding. It makes this noise like it's trying to move (but it's not moving) and the whole gimbal/camera unit starts vibrating.
Thoughts, suggestions, help?
