Well, I finally crashed my Mavic Mini, and the camera mount seems to be broken; I am about to send it to Drone Nerd for repair. I love this Mavic Mini and really want to resurrect this drone. In your expert opinion, how much do you estimate it will cost to repair. Thanks for your input in advance.

If you do it yourself and HURRY while the parts are still available (they are right now) then that will cost you around 100 bucks if the whole assembly needs replaced OR 30 bucks if you were to just buy the gimbal without the cam installed.
 
If they're replacing the entire camera and gimbal assembly since it's likely easier, I'd estimate about $150 for that part, plus repair labor and return shipping. For reference, Camrise, another DJI dealer, sells the same part for $169.

Drone Nerds has probably handled plenty of these repairs by now, so they should be able to give you a rough estimate before you send it in.

I shipped a couple of weeks ago to Drone Nerds, but they said they couldn't do anything since they were short on supplies and told me to contact DJI directly l, which I did. I paid for shipping to and from D.N. for nothing..don't waste your money

I tried to get a DJI Mavic 3 fixed and they (Drone Nerds) said they are not able to do any work on my drone. Waste of money on shipping. Sent it to the Drone repair shop in So Cal and I don't know if I will ever get it back now. (been months now) Good luck as repairs by others seems like a scam and a loosing proposition.

Correction........ Sorry but The parts are NOT out there and if you Crash your Mini 5 you are pretty much out of luck. There are NO Mini 5 parts available in the U.S. that I can find. Those that are advertised are shipping from China.

Fortunately, the OP is not flying a Mini 5 Pro.
