Hi all,

Needing some serious help!

SILVER GIMBAL CABLE HAS SNAPPED

My friend bought a new DJI Mavic Pro in South Africa.
When we were traveling Europe he crashed it from quite a height and felt that he didn't want to (couldn't be bothered) to repair/replace it,

The damage that is sustained is as follows:
  1. Snapped the rear left motor arms
  2. Completely snapped the Gimbal camera off
  3. destroyed the battery
Now, I am fairly experience with dealing with electrical issues and feel that I could have a go at fixing it.

I know that I can (fairly easily) replace the motor arm and of course the battery.

My main issue is that I know that I can buy the flat ribbon cable and it is 'OK' to replace it but when it comes to the silver cable running to the gimbal.... I CAN'T FIND THEM ANYWHERE!

Does anybody know where I can buy one? or whether it can be repaired?

As all of the small silver cables look the same, I was sure whether this is just a type of power cable and could be easily soldered or if it has to be definitely replaced??

I have seen a few posts on this topic but haven't been able to find a solid answer.

If all else fails, then I will have to send it in to a specialist but I'm trying to avoid the costs.

Thanks in advance!

I can upload pictures if needed but it's just a snapped cable

I have a address of a company that deals with these type of things let me try to find it and I will let you know. P.S picts of the cable would be HUGE!!!
