Hey guys - thought I'd follow up. I ended up buying a replacement gimbal cable from Amazon USA, had it shipped to Colombia and installed here for about $50 USD. Runs like new now. Total cost about $80 USD. It's still missing that little snapped black piece that supports the gimbal (img...

@Landlord, hey man, how'd your inspection go? I have the option of getting the ribbon cable replaced here for about 100$. I'm just not sure if that's the problem. It turns out there are actually quite a few drone shops in Colombia.

Awesome! I'll reach out to him for a quote on the errors. I imagine you don't have any suggestions in Colombia, do you?
