Tarot Gimbal get's "stuck" on tilt

I've just installed a tarot gimbal on my Y6.  The roll stabilization is working great but the tilt get's stuck if the drone tilts backward and won't return.  It just shakes repeatedly and never recovers.  

I'm running it off a 2s lipo and have also tried it on my 4s main battery.  No change

I installed fresh 1.4 and 1.5 versions of the firm ware.  

I've played with all the gains and power settings.  no change

I swaped out the motor with a new one.  no change.

I'm losing it here...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Does it have the camera mounted?

    Mine doesn't work properly if the camera isn't fitted.

    Did you update the firmware for the motor part as well as the gimbal?

    Is it connected to a receiver or APM etc? Try disconnecting, that can cause issues. Get it working standalone before complicating things!

    I'm not sure 2S is supported, but I believe 4S is, however i'm aware some people have had issues with over-voltage, and that a 12v BEC resolves this.

    Mine is fed from a 3S pack and seems happy with that.

    Assuming this is the gimbal for a GoPro, start by loading the default settings for the motor and gimbal from the files supplied with the gimbal. I found many weird issues when I strayed too far from those settings.

    • Thanks Alan. 

      Mine doesn't work properly if the camera isn't fitted.  - yes

      Did you update the firmware for the motor part as well as the gimbal? - yes both

      Is it connected to a receiver or APM etc? Try disconnecting, that can cause issues. Get it working standalone before complicating things!  - i've tried it connected and disconnected.  ironically it was working well when i first assembled it.  then after attaching to the PixHawk it stopped working. And now it won't work connected or disconnected.

      I'm not sure 2S is supported, but I believe 4S is, however i'm aware some people have had issues with over-voltage, and that a 12v BEC resolves this.  - I have ordered one and can try that - but both the 2s and 4s are within the operating voltage.

      I'm thinking this may just be a bad gimbal.  Luckily I ordered from Amazon and can have a new one shipped overnight for $4.
