Minor crash DJI MAVIC

[junkaii]

Hi all i recently knocked mr DJI mavic into a wall, didnt fall all the way back, it still managed to stabilize itself. At first the gimbal was not working but after restarting the drone it worked fine. Is there a need for me to worry about the drone motors or should it fly as normal?

You shouldn't have to worry if it starts up without any issues. However, inspect the broken props and make sure the 3 tabs that make the connection are intact. They can break off and still be In the motor. With the Mavic off, give the motors a spin and be sure the motors aren't catching or making any unusual noises. You'll get a warning if something is wrong during start-up.


Edited slightly because I felt my original answer was a little too nonchalant

Seems like no worry - you could invoke a gimbal calibration on the ground before your next take off.

Can you explain how to make the connection intact? (the part where you mentioned to check the 3 tabs)

I hope someone replies. My MP is at DJI presently so I don't want to weigh in w/o a bird to look at and compare.

It is normal that these ribbon cables are visible, but it's important that they're correctly seated as well.
