Crash

[RebelADA]

Crashed my MP.

The gimbal plate broke off right at the location of the two connecting screws. I have seen lots of posts to people who have had this plate break at the same location

Is it necessary to remove the gimbal to make this repair? I can see the two connecting screws. Can I not just remove them, reattach the new plate and put the corners under the four bands that secure it? This may be such a dumb question.

Also, if I am still getting video, and the gimbal is trying to initialize when I power on, is there any hope that I don’t also have a damaged ribbon cable?

Just not wanting to be a month or more to send to DJI.

I hate it too. Just a thing. Planned mission while using Litchi app. Had my altitude too low and didn’t account for a limb hanging out farther than I realized. I thought the foward sensor would save me, but before I could get over to it, it dropped like a stone.

I sent @Thunderdrones a repair request. He is in the South too, so shipping would be quick and I am reading LOTS of great reviews of satisfied customers. Haven’t seen anyone dissatisfied yet. In a haste, I ordered replacement parts before seeing him as a repair contact.

@dirkclod ... Amory! Nice! I can almost hit a golf ball to you. I am in New Albany. Small world indeed. I have a friend or two over your way.

The ribbon cable goes through the plate so its a strip down to replace
