I was shooting some low altitude footage for a resort client today and forgot to turn on obstacle avoidance back on after the last job so I backed into cottonwood treetop while setting up a shot, it was about 40' feet up, 427' feet away from the controller point when I lost it. I quickly located it, powered it down and flew my EVO II Pro and got the job done.
When I got home, I did a visual inspection and for the most part, it all looked good except for the right rear arm left a small crease in the upper body when it over extended. It also has the classic upward movement past the normal stop so it really needs to go in. I did a quick 15' foot high test flight to check the rest of it and the gimbal and camera seem fine.
I see several outfits in the U.S. listed for this kind of repair (common) but who is the most reasonable and best out of the lot? From what I gather from past threads on here, the arm, sleeve and even the upper body needs to be replaced so I am wondering what is the typical cost these days?
