Background:
Any/all wires still connected to the drone contact plate (Hot Shoe) are energized.
Two of the wires carry full battery voltage. The other carries a couple of volts in the form of the camera tilt signal. They sometimes have a bit of exposed wire or solder at the loose end. They are potential short circuits. If the two battery related wires make contact, they heat up the internal wires all the way back through the drone to the mainboard. At the mainboard, the thinly insulated "positive" wire is often laying across the exposed "negative" power solder pads. When the short at the camera occurs, the insulation melts until a full short is created between the positive and negative motor power at the mainboard. The result is substantial damage to the mainboard.
If the Positive wire in the camera comes in contact with the signal wire, it can damage either a small chip that feeds the signal, or it can damage the main board CPU. Result is either no more camera tilt, or no more anything.
Some folks have even stuffed the broken wires into the back of the camera (to make it look "neat"?) The bare wires eventually (or immediately) make contact with bare metal and circuit components on the gimbal control board. Result is end of gimbal board.
Remedy:
The first thing to do is to secure the wires. Some available options are:
1.) Insulate the broken ends of the wires with a piece of tape or a spot of glue.
OR
2.) Clip the wires completely off at the contact plate circuit board and at the gimbal board.
OR
3.) Remove the slide mount from the drone, unplug the Hot Shoe connector, and reinstall the slide mount. Unplugging this connector only takes power off wires that are still attached at the Hot Shoe end. Any still connected at the gimbal board end will need to be addressed by another method, such as by clipping or insulation. They get back-fed from the pigtail.
Next, inspect the area where the wires were originally soldered to the gimbal board. If any of the tracing is pulled loose, ensure it is back in its original position, and glue it down with something. A dab of epoxy is good.
AFTER the wires are secured, use the short black "pigtail" wire that was supplied in your original kit. It plugs into the back of the camera, and then into the plug under the rubber dust cover. If the camera/drone has not already experienced damage, the camera will work EXACTLY the same from the "pigtail" as is does from the normal "Hot shoe". They are the same wires inside the drone.
