Just took delivery of mini 3 pro & unsure if gimble is faulty or not. Took it for it’s first test flight & tried to move gimble up+down using my finger on my screen (no problem) but then tried moving it side to side & it will not move. Also gimble moves very little on start up unlike my air 2, could this be a sticky gimble or is this normal on a M 3 pro ?

Have you removed the piece of packing foam ( black colour) behind the gimbal ?

Thanks @Sparky, I am used to being able to move side to side on my air 2 & in a panic thought it was a duff gimble.
