    CGO3+ gimbal pitch tilt limited to narrow range

    Update: RESOLVED! The problem was that two of the wires leading to the pitch motor where swapped. Reversing the wires resolved the limited arc and enabled full articulation of that motor. (The wires were swapped because they were severed in an accident and reconnected incorrectly.) @Vaklin...

    During the most recent flight of my Yuneec Typhoon H with CGO3+, I flew a tad too low over a roof and clipped the bottom of the camera on the top of the roof ridge. No crash, but the event force rotated the camera in the gimbal such that it was jammed 90 degrees on the roll axis, and broke the...
