Gyro calibration corrupted by gimbal initialization

There is something I always hated with APM / Pixhawk : it is the initialization of the gimbal .

The fact that no valid PWM (I guess) is outputed by the Pixhawk after the battery connection leads to uncontrolled movements of camera gimbal with the risk to damage the camera lens.

Well there is another problem with gimbal initialization: quite often the gyro calibration is not valid.
With a brushless gimbal and a heavy camera (1kg), the gyro calibration , blue - red led , is corrupted by the gimbal movement when it gets a valid PWM signal.

Is there a way to control when gyro calibration occurs , initialize the PWM outputs with a delay or launch a new gyro calibration via Mission Planner ?
