Good, you saved $18.

It was extremely easy to take apart, easier than expected, one-hour following a German video. And the IMU was the solution, $18 dollars and it is flying again!

What do you mean? There are many ribbon cables until you get to the IMU itself. Everything was in place as it was supposed to be. I don't have tools to measure how well an IMU is working. Nor do I have the patience to disassemble and assemble many times over to try different options...

I just completed mine as well. Took me 1 hour, following a youtube video, in German (LOL), where the guy shows the steps to disable the thing. Don't need t know the language, although I know some German, I guarantee you don't need to know German to understand the steps. For 20 dollars, it is...

Not true in my case... I just fixed my Mavic Pro (granted it is not a Mavic Air, but you did mention DJI drone...) by buying a new gimbal with camera and all. Worked right away. I wonder what happened with your repair and what DJI said.

Thanks! Yes on both videos I've seen them showing how they removed the two screws on either side of the gimbal/camera assembly. I think plastic tools are key, so there is no damage to remove plastic covers and also those flimsy flex ribbon cables and their micro connections.

Thanks!!! I saw two videos of folks taking their Mavic Air apart. It seemed similar to the Mavic Pro. The hardest part seemed to be to take the top plastic cover... but one of them showed a nice technique for doing it using a plastic card (like a hotel key card, or old credit card). Some guy...

To the first poster, great initiative, I would contribute to and benefit from a database of damage/errors/problems and the related, successful repairs made to mavic products.

My Mavic air never calibrated compass outside of the US, since brand new. It used to fly very well, as long as I was in the 48 states, every now and then it requested compass calibration, but it calibrated quickly (as long as I was in the United States). I did not fly it for several months...

On the DJI forums, Mavic Air calibration issues have now four separate threads wth people experiencing the same problem I do: the Mavic Air DOES NOT CALIBRATE COMPASS when outside the US. It is not a watch problem or close to metal or whatever, because like with me, people have tried all...

Here is a link for that conversation: Mavic Air: constant compass calibration fails I think it has now more countries where it won't calibrate: New Zealand, Agentina, Peru, Brazil, Marshal Islands...

Yes, the Mavic Pro worked well. The Mavic Air could not calibrate compass, hence could not fly.

On the DJI forum I know of at least three others with the same problem. It calibrates compass in the US bot not abroad.

Then it would not calibrate compass when I fly it in the US... and it does calibrate well here. I would assume it is more likely related to firmware.

Please note I mentioned: I do NOT have problems with my Mavic Pro on the same locations I have problems with my Mavic Air.
