broken front leg.

[tonyer]

hi everybody. my son has crashed my mavic pro platinum, but only the front stabaliser leg has snapped off. the arm and motor run fine just the little stump leg is missing. i can see a very fine wire is snapped to where the stump used to be. does the full arm need replacing??? also it says gimbal is unstable how do i re connect the gimbal vibration clamp as nothing seems broken.
regards

Yes, as there is an antenna in both front legs...
Is the gimbal malfunctioning? carefully inspect it to make sure no wires are torn and if its still connected to all dampeners..

Are you sure that the error message is? Ive never heard of that one.

Ive heard over overload, vibration error, obstructed.

does the front leg need replacing???????

Yes but Platinum legs are hard to find. You might have to buy the whole arm. Is the antenna wire in the leg broken?

Please do a screen capture of your error message in DJI Go.

Platinum legs are hard to find

Yes, sir. There are some available here on Amazon at the moment.

If the antenna wire is broken in your leg then you will have to buy the whole arm

 

[msinger]

Front, right Mavic Pro Platinum arms are also available here on Amazon.

You may need this as well!~
it might be damaged if you are getting a gimbal error!

It would have to be replaced. Can affect flight stability.

I’m not sure! Mine was under warranty so I sent it in, they replaced the leg, ran diagnostics, with my controller and threw in new props. Mine broke from only a 1 foot drop on leg.
I have way more confidence in the quad that if I did it myself.
As sometimes it is about the damage that you don’t see which may present issues later on, hopefully doesn’t cause another crash or my drone just fell out of the sky stories.

hopefully get the leg fixed and no more issues. the gimbal may be unstable due to the dodgy leg. i'll cross that bridge when i fix the leg.

Isn’t your drone under warranty?
