Gimbal problems :(

[Cadburys Man]

My gimbal has gone strange. It's only a cheapo one but was fine for me. It works left and right but wont stay level whilst going forwards or backwards :-/
Also the gimbal wheel doesn't pitch the camera up or down on the advanced RC.
Any idea's?

I had this happen twice on my P4. I didn't notice it on the first time because I couldn't see the camera well (using my phone), and the video was ruined (sigh). Second time, with FPV goggles, I forgot to take the gimbal lock, then when I took it off, I had a "crooked" picture again. Next, it seemed like the the camera always faced straight down. A shutdown/restart of the aircraft fixed the gimbal problem, and it hasn't returned.

Believe these were all mostly "pilot inexperience" on my part.

Now, I always check the gimbal before I fly (make sure it's working well before I move away). Now, I've gotten much better and the video shows this.

If you find this error to be repeating, you might need service.
