    Mavic 2 front leg replacement problems.

    lol Its all good Thunder...I knew what you meant. DJI definitely wanted to increase their repair income by moving the LEDs into the legs on the mavick 2. Someone should design metal leg protectors that snap around the base of the legs to avoid the props from eating the leg, antenna and LEDs...

    Mavic 2 front leg replacement problems.

    Well I do laptop and phone repair for a living so I wouldn't say it was all luck :P. The two arms Ive taken apart had a few spots of that black glue holding the antenna in place at the top of the leg and the wires. I used the tips of my tweezers to remove that before removing the antenna. My...

    Mavic 2 front leg replacement problems.

    Thanks for the tips. I had some ebay bucks on my account so I got the new parts arm for 23 bucks. I really appreciate your time and insight on this. Now i want to find a better antenna to stuff inside that arm to extend the range lol.

    Whats inside the landing gear?

    Yes but from what I hear, you get a used drone back not yours repaired. Mine is a week old with a broken piece of plastic. If I send it back and get one with old motors or one full of used worn parts Im losing a new drone for an old one. If i ever had a major crash that required me to send it...

    Mavic 2 front leg replacement problems.

    I have to do this myself. Got a new arm on ebay to pull the parts from. Im thinking Is it possible to modify the hole making it a bit wider so the LED can be slid through? How is the LED attached to the plastic leg from the factory? is it glued to the leg or dose it pop out? I plan to attempt to...

    Whats inside the landing gear?

    Thanks Thunder... I had actually considered that as we use JB weld for power jack housing repairs on laptops all time. Being a tinkerer Id like to replace the leg if possible. Can you offer any insight on how that LED is attached to the plastic leg? is it easily removable? My idea is to get a...

    Whats inside the landing gear?

    So I own a computer repair shop and was one of those kids who took moms vacuum apart, so I couldn't resist taking a peek. Looks like Tunderdrones was correct I got lucky the board did take a shalacking at the top but the wire is fine. The LED still works also. Looks like the antenna is just a...

    Whats inside the landing gear?

    That's a fair price, are you able to just replace the leg and antenna or would you have to replace the entire arm?
