I'm experienced doing electronic repairs and have built a hexcopter and a quad from scratch. I saw a video showing how to replace the flex cable and I agree 100% on the difficulty.I'll try again on the gimbal calibration outside away from everything. Thanks again for your help

I get no other errors and the sensors all seem fine. I did the IMU and compass calibrations and they all work fine. Given that, do you think it is more likely to be the flex cable or the board? Is there a way to reset the quad to factory settings? I haven't found one yet.

Shaky video while hovering. I LOVE the way this flies - better than any other one I have owned. A DJI, I don't remember the name of it - the video was on 2.4 Ghz and the control on 5 Ghz, IIRC, a homemade hexcopter, a homemade quad and a Chroma Blade. I sold the first one to buy parts to build...

Thank you. l found arms that include the flex cable on Ebay for about $45. Do you think that would fix my problem? I figure it would replace the cable and the motors in one fell swoop. I found a very detailed video on Youtube on how to replace the cable. Replacing the entire assembly would...

Thanks I am not getting any other errors - just the gimbal motor overload. I did a hover test and it did eventually point forward and I could tilt it up and down. I'll post a video once I figure out how to get it onto my computer - it was really shaky. I see the control boards are $50+ on Ebay.

Problem? Gimbal jerks on startup, doesn't aim right, doesn't track to stay stabilized Was unit in a crash? Not by me, but possibly by prior owner What have you tried so far? I looked it over to see if there was something obvious. I tried gimbal calibration, it failed. What device are you...
