I Swapped the Mavic 2 Pro and Zoom Camers!

This is also cross posted in the "zoom" part of the forum.

I saw the video on how to swap the cameras in another video, but no one tried swapping a different camera. I have both the zoom and the pro, so I figured why not?

Interesting.
Thanks for posting and taking the gamble.

Very interesting! Did you happen to install the zoom camera on the pro body to make sure the swap works in both directions?

Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Easy Gimbal Swap! (Simple!)

Not yet. Well, sort of. I have it all hooked up but I won't test until tomorrow. I'll report back on it though!

Kinda expected. Easier to create a FW that can read what camera is connected, and enable the right functions. That means they only need to have 1 blueprint for the body to go with 1 FW. I mean, DJI could sell just the camera for like $300, and people would buy. The risk is people not knowing how to do it properly and brick their M2.
DJI could've made more money buy selling 1 body and 2 camera options, and people would buy all 3, instead of choosing just Zoom or Pro.

Good point, Ray.

Has anyone found a place to buy the Mavic 2 Pro Camera assembly? I have the zoom and want to find a Pro (camera only).
