I replaced the roll arm, yaw arm and ribbon cable. I checked and double checked all of the alignments. All motors move freely and smoothly with no power applied. I am attaching a video of the gruesome results of my efforts. I'm getting a "Gimbal Motor Overload" message. No indication of which motor. Any ideas or suggestions appreciated. Either for repair ideas or an authorized repair facility, preferably in the Southern New Hampshire area.

SOLVED

I had the motor shaft that attaches to the camera installed 180 degrees from the correct position.

I'm glad you got this solved. I laughed so hard watching the thing freak out. I would have had no clue what to do.

It was pretty scary when I first turned it on. I am a tool and die maker and am used to working on small, intricate assemblies. $65 in parts and a few hours in time. I posted the same video on the DJI Forum and one of the members there zeroed right in on the problem. I got lucky. Flew it today and found everything working just great. It does feel good to have done it myself, with some help.
