Hi y'all.
I recently bought a Mavic Pro used. (I'm sure no DJI warranty/care is still valid)
After a nasty crash on the first day, I had to replace the gimbal and one of the arms, which ran me about 500 dollars.
So, much to my horror, I had a small collision today with a tree. The drone wasn't more than a few feet in the air and wasn't expecting anything more than maybe a broken prop.
But no, my gimbal seems to be hanging by a thread AGAIN. I am absolutely reeling and cannot afford to have this repaired again.

It seems the majority of the gimbal is intact, and the small piece holding it to its compartment broke off. Is this something that can be fixed easily, or is this a shot gimbal? If fixable, what parts appear to be broken?
Thanks!
