Ebay or AliExpress.

My camera parts from aliexpress came last friday, a new dampening board, camera video cable and gimbal ribbon cable. It took me a long time to reassemble it, PRO tip dont use hot glue to hold down the gimbal ribbon cable, I think when it shrinks it pulls the connect out of place. It kept...

Happy to report we have lift off! Everything appears to be working perfectly. Vision sensors, controls etc... I havent shown my son yet, i wanted to make sure it didnt blow up. Now that its functional and being in Canada, I registered the Drone yesterday, and got my Basic SRPA Pilot licence...

Sorry for the lack of updates, shortly after my last post I did something embarrassingly stupid and burned out one of the motor ESCs. Starz did follow through with the props, so thanks for that! For the last month I've been trying to get another drone and when i almost gave up, someone...

One trick you can try is to place the soldering iron near the solder points while it warms up to max temperature. This is help preheat the solder pad, so it wont lose as much heat upon contact. Otherwise the only solution is to get a stronger more powerful soldering iron. I was able to do it...

Thanks for all the help especially Starz, I decided to give it a shot and fix it up. Ill be doing it in stages, with less expensive fixes first, and if things are worse than expected I can stop with minimal investment. Fix(glue) the rear arms Replace broken rotors. Try to find someone local...

Thanks that's very kind of you, but I think the shipping costs wouldnt make this worth while.

A friend of mine crashed his Mavic Pro, and decided not to fix it, he sold off the battery, accessories, etc and cut out the gimble camera to sell on ebay. He was about to toss it and i thought I could glue it up and let my son play with it like a toy so he gave it to me. After reading up some...
