Mini Crash

Can I fix this? Dropped from 25m onto concrete. Everything else seems ok except this leg and the battery is tight to get in and out. Thanks in advance.

Hi JohnnyH,

Im a new pilot, and my advise may not be right, but maybe using a glue to fix it back in position may be the best option. The leg will probably be in a fixed position then, but it may get you back in the air without much cost.

Assuming you don't have repair/refresh thing?
Are you looking to repair yourself or send off for repair?

No repair/refresh.

Depends on cost.

Operator error I assume? Only reason I ask is because perhaps there was some issue and if you reach out to DJI and open a case, perhaps they'd cover it.

I've seen parts listed on alibaba (sorry, can't find the link) and legs seemed relatively inexpensive. If (big IF here) everything else works, then you could possible just replace the leg. Still, I'd always wonder if something else had some hidden damage. I don't know how comfortable I'd be gluing the broken leg and flying it on a regular basis.

It was my fault, I can’t lie. The unit has been faultless. I may get my mini screwdrivers out and take a look at what’s what.

Pretty easy to get in to

and this place (DJI Mavic Mini Parts from Replace Base) seems to have lots of parts availalable. Haven't used personally but let us know how you get on
