I didn't have that plastic covering. I don't really care about the warranty. As they charge $400 to repair a $1000 gadget. By the way, if your gimbal is not moving at all, your flex ribbon cable is definitely torn somewhere inside. It may not be visible from outside, mine didn't either. You'll...

Actually yours is a rather slanted break, mine was a more clean straight break. VHB may not have enough space to hold on to it. But just try, it's reversible. If you have the broken piece, definitely fix it with crazy glue. But you can work better if you open it up. (Not that difficult.)...

1. Can you control the gimbal? Is the gimbal dancing when you turn on? --> No flex ribbon damage. 2. Is the camera working? --> No metal camera cable damage. 3. In this case the only problem should be the anti-drop hook. I first tried to fix my hook with a piece of credit card and some double...

Hi, It's called "gimbal back anti drop hook", it should be a separate part that is screwed underneath to the anti vibration board, but it also comes with the board. You can find it 3D printed like this DJI Mavic Pro Gimbal Anti-drop Hook Bracket L-shape Tab 3D Printed Part | eBay or together...

UPDATE 3!!! UP & RUNNING! Today, I received my flex ribbon and I replaced the torn one. It was a bit tricky to pass through the tiny holes of the gimbal, but it worked. I've seen my gimbal dancing again. I fixed it! So with some patience and the required tools anybody can! I'll go fly now, right...

Well, assuming I can hopefully fix it myself, I ordered the flex ribbon and the shock absorbing board from Ali Express on March 5th and I'll get them both by tomorrow, so it will only take 15 days. Cross your fingers.

UPDATE 2: I already received my gimbal vibration absorbing board and replaced it already, I'm expecting the flex ribbon cable early in the week. I'll let you know when I fix it for good. I discovered & ordered a much cheaper ($13.99) gimbal ribbon as well, to try just in case I need another one...

Btw. Gimbal Not Working / Overload

Definitely a design flaw. A very thin and vulnerable flex cable in a rotating gimbal that should be expected to hit hard surfaces. Furthermore, not accepting this flaw and changing the gimbal & the camera as a whole for over $350 is total nonsense.

UPDATE: After my crash, my Mavic pro was flying just fine, the camera was working but there was heavy vibration and the gimbal was not dancing / moving at all at start-up or responding to the remote commands. After being quoted a ridiculous amount (half the cost of the Mavic Pro) for a whole...

Well, unfortunately welcome to the club guys. :( My camera is fully functional, yet the locak DJI service center (Istanbul, Turkey) told me that the gimbal and camera are replaced as a whole at around 400$ plus 1-2 hours service charge. I may get a new one, without the controller, to use the...

Same here. Any developments? Also after the crash, I think I 've forgotten the gimbal lock on for a test flight. So now I dont' know what caused the gimbal malfunction. IndyMoto

Got a link for thunderdrones? thx.

Hi, I'm fairly new to Mavic & drones overall. I had a minor crash. The props were broken, apart from that everything seemed fine. I changed the props. I tried a flight, the Mavic flies just fine, my camera was recording, but a wobbbly/shaky image. I then realized my gimbal's back "anti drop...
