My Mini 2 took a hard hit into a tree branch last week and the gimbal is completely jammed pointing downward into the body. That was until I checked the gimbal which was jammed right back into the underbelly of the drone unable to move freely. Camera still works but obviously unusable for footage.
Found a YouTube tutorial showing a disassembly method. All I had to do to fix it was remove the 4 screws connecting the base and top casing and then slide something small around the edge so I could pop the top section off. This relieved any tension in the gimbal allowing it to pop back into position.
For anyone facing similar issues - this actually worked perfectly and saved me from expensive DJI repairs. The gimbal now moves freely and calibrates normally. Just be very gentle with the ribbon cables during disassembly.
