CGO3+ shows rotorarms when making a panorama

[Strooptocht.EU]

Since i while the CGO3+ shows the rotorarms in the upper part of the image when making a panorama.
I don't know if it has to do with it that the unit once crashed, because everything seems to work good
and even the gimbal doesn't show any anomalities.
The camera gives a strait horizon when placed on a flat surface.

Any idea on how to fix this?

It sounds like the top "travel stop" is broken off the front shell. If you look closely with a good light into the gap between the left hub cover and the camera shell, you should be able to see two little plastic travel stops. If there is only one (or none), you will need to replace the front shell.

What is the position of the tilt switch?
The most left upper one.

You mean the shell of the CGO3+ ?

I normally have it in the middle position, when a panorama is made the camera always tilts a bit up even when the tiltswitch is set

Yes. The stops are part of the camera shell. Between the left hub cover and the side of the camera shell.

I'll have a look!

Yep, they're broken. Assume the only way is to buy a new front cover.

Use a small bolt and nut. Functional will be the same.

And is there a counterpart? on the outside?

 

[Vaklin]

Didn't understand the question.

Prepare a stopper from a small bolt instead of the original plastic one.

It uses the top and bottom of the arm as the other side of the stop. That part will not be damaged.

Ah ok! Didn't figure that out when i looked ;-) thanks!
