Hey there,
I crashed my drone and the gimble came off, the wires are still connected.
I tried fixing what I could - the drone still flies and the camera is fine thankfully.
However, the gimble is stuck, so it seems there is an internal issue with the hardware.
I have posted some pictures here... can anyone help?
I am currently in France and was looking to use the trip as an opportunity to get some great shots, managed to get some before it crashed. The drone repairers that I have spoken to in France have said they might not be able to fix the gimble because there are no parts for the gimble in France. Same goes for the UK. Found a guy in Istanbul who claims he can fix it and has a comprehensive teardown video of the gimble on his youtube channel.
I am hoping I don't have to send it back to DJI because this will be minimum (if i am lucky) 2 week turnaround (I have been told if I am in the EU) which is longer than the time I expect to be out here in France.
Does anyone know what might be the problem internally here? I have posted some photos, will upload more if needed. I am travelling to some electronics experts in france that might be able to help me out, but really keen to try and fix this myself if it's something relatively simple.
The photo with the red circle shows where the damage is, the other photos is the repair I have done so far.
The drone flies fine, the camera still works, its just the gimble.
Any help would be grand !!! Any advice?
