Hi, All
I've got an air 2s camera whose autofocus motor is not functioning properly. Everything else about the camera (and of the gimbal) works fine - calibration is good, everything. Just that the autofocus motor click-click-clicks upon startup and it is most of the time is unable to focus on anything.
I have sourced a new lens component (the thing with the optics and the autofocus motor and related electronics). The thing is, I cannot figure out how to separate the CCD board (which contains the sensor) from the old/bad lens component. I've tried prying in different ways but I really don't want to break the CCD board. I was wondering if anyone on the forum knows how these two parts are attached and how I can separate them. It may be that we're just talking about some glue that I need to heat up to separate, but I'd like to consult with those in the know before giving it a go.
(note: I'm not looking for advice about how I should replace the entire gimbal or send it away for repair or whatever - I want to try it this way).
Here are some pictures to help illustrate. The first two pictures are annotated to help you get a sense for the different bits. I want to keep the CCD/Sensor board, separate it from the original lens unit (and then affix it to the replacement unit, but first I just want to safely separate the two). the last two pictures are just from different orientations and a closeup.
Anyone have any hands-on experience separating this CCD board from the lens?
