Is this fixable

[nhorsman]

Does anyone know if this is fixable? Flying to close to the ground and crashed, riping the camera and gimbal off.

Who would i talk to about fixing this?

I didnt have any insurance on it...rookie mistake that won't happen again (assuming I can get this fixed)

Send it to DJI, the repair costs are very reasonable.

Just curious, how did that come about?

I repair Mavics every day. If you are in the USA, I can fix it for you.

I wouldnt let the gimbal dangle like that, the cable it is dangling from is expensive if it isnt broken yet.

Here is my repair thread:

DJI will charge upwards of $500

They repaired my broken gimbal and broken leg for 80 euro with free postage each way. I did not have any insurance.

Like thunderdrones said, be careful with the fine wire cable, it's expensive. Do you still get video from the camera? If so, you can probably fix it yourself for under $50 if you're handy and patient. You need at least a new ribbon cable and vibration plate. If you're not handy and patient with fine, fiddly things, then send it to thunderdrones. He knows what he's doing. Putting the ribbon cable in right is about as counterintuitive as things get.

counterintuitive

Counterintuitive. Good word to describe the process. Bending a razor thin cable backwards, creasing it, then forcing the crease down with a metal plate and 2 big screws. It's amazing any of them work, but it's an engineering miracle (masterpiece).
