I am replacing this part, but after doing some research a few people said dji calibrates these boards to its own camera (like a set) so my fear is replacing the board and the camera not work right because its a new gimbal board. I thought u could just replace the board and then do a gimbal cal and it would work....anyone have experience with swapping one of these boards?
 
Thunderdrones can shine a light on that matter, just standby he'll be here shortly.
 
Any update to this? I'm at the point of throwing my mavic pro at the wall. I dont have money for a shop to fix it. With that being said I've replaced ribbon,VTC and gimbal. I'm being told my board may be bad. So now I'm looking for a board and would I have to get it calibrated by DJI staff or can calibrate it through app? Where the hell do I find a board for decent price?

Wow! Luckily I found someone that buys drones and repairs them. Sold him 2 mavic pros with remotes,extra blades,4 batteries ect for $360. Turn around and bought a mavic 2 pro. Love it but dont love that they didnt bring the little zoom option and colors from the mavic pro. Thats my only complaints.
 
I too had to order a gimbal control board.
Waiting for it now from China..
So I might have to have it calibrated?
I did that also. Mine still hasnt arrived. I am filing a claim with paypal tonight matter a fact. But I took the working control board out of the crashed drone and put it in the one I was working on and still didnt fix the issue that with new VTC cable and ribbon. So kinda glad I got rid of the mavic pro. I think the cam was very easy to break and mess up. Personally I liked the video style of the mavic pro vs the mavic 2 pro
