Hi,
Recently purchased a second hand Mavic Pro. Its has been working well but a minor crash, with no physical signs of damage, has left me with Gimble Issues.
The screen tells me the 'gimble is too heavy'
Any advice would be gratefully received.

Thanks

The OG mavic will tear its ribbon cables in a crash You need to replace them. Also the board that rests on top of the gimbal is most likely damaged and needs replacement.

It's a fiddle replacing gimbal/camera cables with the original Mavic... but it is do-able on your kitchen worktop. Plenty of YouTube videos available.
