Well, it finally happened, dog got her bird. The camera broke off the gimbal vibration board. The camera appeared to be functional so I'll attempt to replace the board and mount the camera.

Nothing quite like tempting fate

Consider your dog lucky. I had a P2 once with carbon fiber props. The dog (a Dachshund) would always try to catch it.

One day, it did. The prop lacerated her eyeball, and now she's blind in one eye.

Dogs and helicopter tail rotors don't mix well either.

My dog hates my drone. I have to put him in the house when I fly at home. It must be the sound, pitch of the sound? Sorry your dog got yours.

Look what happened to my dog...just jokin!
She would eat my drone first chance too...then, she does have 'bird dog' breeding.
Platinum Drone once hit a tree with similar damage to yours....cost about $300 Au to send away to fix.
Hope you are back in the air soon...cheers mate from Down Under.

That is so sad?

My dog luckily only lost a tip off his nose when he tried to grab my MA, all healed now. I think it only p*&$%d him off more. Can't even have him inside as he goes bonkers.

All is well.
Fixed the drone. Even despite my heavy hard handedness, I managed to get it all done. Time was less than 8hrs., including replacing the vision sensor and calibration.
The replacement of the Gimbal Vibration Board is well documented on YouTube. I found the connectors to be a bit intimidating, but after viewing the videos, it almost worked out. In attempting to detach one of the connectors on the Vision Positioning sensors, the ribbon cable broke. I decided to order a new vision sensor. The total cost was less than $80. It would have been $50 less if I hadn't broken that ribbon cable.
