Gimble overload and consistent failed calibrations

So I picked up what I think is a good deal on a flip and I'm pretty excited about it. However, I'm getting consistent gimbal overload errors and recalibration also fails.

I've blown it out and checked for in the obvious debris, but everything seems to be in decent order.

This is my first drone, so I'm learning on the fly. The one thing that stood out to me is odd is the way the gimbal moves.

As seen in the video, when powered off, The gimbal will rotate counterclockwise just fine and stay in whatever position I leave it in. But when I rotate it clockwise it's as if there is tension and it pulls it back to center.

When flying the camera doesn't quite seem level and does seem to have a tilt to it.

I can see the ribbon wiring when I look on the bottom of the gimbal and camera. It does look like the ribbon is being pulled when it's rotating clockwise and that tension is what pulls it back to center.

Can anybody tell me if that's normal or what I should look into to fix it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Dji Flip Slow RTH speed

I have flip for 1 year but didnt use it for a long time, today I had flight tests but when drone is in RTH mode it comes back soooo slow which is 10 km/h speed, I searched abput that but everybody says you need to put it in sport mode and come back manuely, what if it gets caught wind when I dont have connection to drone? is there a way to make automatic RTH faster?

my flip fell 20ft and the propguard was bent. i tried popping it back but this is far as it goes. is this the reason the video is shaky? if i found a replacement part. can i just replace the broken part?

New Drone Pilot, split video issues

Just curious if this is a setting that can be changed anywhere, but when I fly the Flip without controller/phone, doing the quick mode shots like dronie, rocket, etc., the drone splits the video into two, anyway I can have one single continuous video?

Thanks
