Help with Rear Arm replacement

[treetopgardens]

New flyer here, got the first crash out of the way.
I managed to break the rear arm.... I’ve been trying to find info on repairing it. I have an oem arm from dji, but not sure if this job is too involved. After watching a few YouTube videos, (not much for the air 2) I’m aware that soldering is required. Any input, help or tips is greatly appreciated!!!

as the MA2 is a recent addition to the DJI line up there are not going to be many videos out there ,yes you will have to disassemble a lot of the drone and do some soldering ,if it is something that you dont really feel happy doing, i would recommend you get the drone repaired at a reputable repair outlet ,as if you are not careful you could end up damaging the internals ,without the correct tools and soldering skills

Uum if this is an air 2 then surely it is still under warranty? If so and you open you will invalidate the warranty. I am NOT suggesting that DJI would repair it under warranty but I am highlighting that if it is currently under warranty and you do a DIY repair the warranty will probably be void.

Check out Aliexpress.com for parts. They have everything for DJI drones and usually you can find very good prices, Shipping takes 2-3 weeks as they are shipping from China,

This might shed some light on the level of complexity, micro soldering will be required, if your inexperienced with that I'd suggest you send it to someone like DJIdroneservice who have free shipping both ways.

DJI Mavic Air 2 teardown: fairly easy to fix

A Mavic Air 2 teardown by ifixit shows that the drone is easy to get into and that most parts can be replaced without soldering.

Can anyone confirm if there are pairing issues with the motor when doing a arm swap as with changing out the gimbal ?

 

[old man mavic]

@Mazdaman323lx no pairing issues just make sure that the motor wires have good clean solder joints to the ESC and that the motor turns in the correct direction after installation
