The total cost to repair was $380. The gimbal was $179 and then they replaced some of the Mavic's body - which wasn't really needed. If I had time I would have asked they only fix the gimbal since they just shipped me a brand new Mavic from China instead of actually doing a repair. Oh well...

I REALLY regret not getting Refresh. I planned on just using the State Farm option. My fault for not fully evaluating the repercussions of submitting a claim. It's just not worth it. Based on another DJI gimbal prepare thread, I'm guessing it will be $3-400. Good times.

Thanks for checking this out. Off to DJI. Which is really too bad because I had a project planned for being home at the holidays. I guess the best lessons are learned ice cold.

Hey @Blue Bird - Would you mind checking out my Gimbal issue thread? Crash and now gimbal issues

See how it sort of spazes out after flipping (and hitting something)

Here's the gimbal on startup. Note that the thing that sort of looks like a dent is actually a small piece of clear plastic I can't get off :) Video: mavic

Thanks for the feedback. I don't see any bends. I can move it around when powdered down just fine. When it starts it sort of bangs around a bit. I'll make a video of it and post. How does it work if I send back to DJI if I don't have the Refresh protection?

Is there any data on this? I've got the state farm and was thinking about filing a claim.

Ugh. I've been so careful flying, really getting a hang of this awesome drone and not doing anything risky. I'm about 10 flights in (with 100s on smaller drones previously). Today I launched from a table outside my balcony - something I worked up to as I considered it quasi risky. I thought...
