Mavic 3 gimbal disassembly and repair

I found this video on YouTube. It seems really good.

There's also one on the whole Mavic 3.

Found this one. It's software you need for some repairs.

If you read the Comments, you'll see that it only works on the Mavic 2, and cannot be used on the Mavic 3. DJI has locked it down.

I didn't notice that. I thought they were always adding new drones.

The devil is always in the details. "They" are the hackers who cannot hack around DJI's 10,000 more sophisticated engineers, who are constantly plugging the holes they have previously left open, and remain available to hack on older drone models on earlier FW close to release dates. The new FW versions on the newest drone models are all anti-rollback, so you cannot even rollback to an earlier version for your drone that may have still been hackable to a limited degree. All software hacks specify the last FW version they are still supported on for each drone, if at all. Most newer drones have none at all.
