Help please !! Gimbal holder broken!!

[SpookyBaron]

hi, no they shouldn't just spin. i am thinking the thread is worn out and that's why you have little wiggle in that arm. there should be none.

New screws? If I can get them out that is.. any suggestions? Thanks hunch

i don't think you can replace just the screw if the opposite thread is worn out. i think you might need a new arm assembly.

Thats alot of wiggling, not supposed to do that. I think a bearing might be worn out or crushed.

I think the screws in there have loctite on them, I havent been able to successfully disassemble an assembly and reassemble it. Without stripping something.

The yaw screw turns when you turn the arm, the pitch screw doesnt turn. Ive never tightened any of the ones Ive had,

Can I ask which shop you took it to? There are always members looking for good shops to take their drone to.

I found this thread the night I crashed my Mavic into the living room wall... Watched the video, ordered the parts, and did the install / repair last night. It's actually a lot easier then it appears in the pics / video / etc. Nothing to fear. Must haves - 1.5mm hex wrench, and a tiny phillips screwdriver. You don't need anything else.

See, I just did it in 5 minutes

So when you ordered this part, you didn't have to take the drone apart (it is just un doing the rubber bands that hold it in place and swapping it out? One of my corner pieces of this plate cracked off in a crash and now the image is slightly unlevel.

You have to take the drone apart and drop out the gimbal. The black ribbon cable threads through the slot in the black plate.

Your gimbal plate might be bent at where the 2 screws connect it to the gimbal motor assembly.

To do it the right way, you really need to drop the gimbal out, but that will void your warranty, if you have one.

I know this is old but how did you guys broke yours?

Been a long time to reply the slight bent i was going on about was only noticeable in sport mode footage other than that it was good but I eventually sold the drone then re purchased a another 1 now I sold that 4 months back and now I’m looking wether purchase my 3rd Mavic p or go for the Mavic air 2 I love the Mavic pro From recent experience [emoji817]

I didn’t break mine I was hovering over my garden noticed a guy parked in he’s Range Rover taking a picture of me so I was ok shock and a little angry I went to land it to go and talk to him but it wanted to land at its originall homepoint so it went up through a small tree and I think a branch stretched the left side rubber bands what connect the gimble so camera was leaning left a little
