Gimbal base tab broken.

anthonysyne · Mar 25, 2017

Any ideas on how to replace a broken tab that holds the gimbal in place. Didn't even realise it was broken till I got it home.

Here are a few things you could do:

Contact DJI support and send in your Mavic to be repaired
Buy a replacement gimbal board here on Amazon or here on eBay and replace it yourself

Is there much height left to it? Mine broke right at the elbow so I 3D printed a piece to piggyback on the back side of the tab, held in place with glue. Very easy to install and very inexpensive to acquire....

Didn't even crash mine. Put it down on a table and noticed a part flew off but didn't realise what it was till I got home.
Can't fly the thing now due to updating from the DjiGo app to DjiGo4 app. The gimbal is limp and controller wont connect. This was all before the part broke and was filming a wedding to make it worse. Worked 100% the day before the app update.

Any updates on this. Just broke mine today. Just need the little tab. But I don't have a 3D printer and it looks like the links are for the base not the tab that holds the base.
Thanks!

Thanks - I looked at the damage on mine a bit more. It was worse than I thought. I'm sending it to DJI. Looks like one of the ribbons tore and the rubber bands got stretched.
