Take your time when fitting it tho buddy. Follow YouTube videos step by step. I used this one and it turned out ok.

This will fix it: Buy Phantom 3 - Flexible Gimbal Flat Cable (Pro/Adv)

I'm glad to say the flex ribbon cable fixed the problem, nerve wrecking fiddly install but Camera gimbal back to normal and phantom ready to fly again! :)

Thanks, I have ordered a new one of those and it's ok it's way here. Using a YouTube video as a guide I've already taken the camera/gimbal apart so I know what I've got to do when it arrives.

Thanks mate. The ribbon should be here Thursday next week, bought the genuine dji one rather than the cheaper copies. Have a good idea about what it all looks like so I'll let you know how it goes. Also spoke to a shop who said they were happy for me to pop down (3 hours away) if i have no luck...

Yes I am and when it goes through its calibration the app thinks it's done and complete. But the camera/gimbal hasn't moved or made a noise, just flashes green and is just hanging. It completes the initial one at start up and then losses power or perhaps instruction. I've ordered a new ribbon...

I've tried that. Still the same, starts up and then the gimbal/camera stops.

It's over 18 months Old...

I have no video signal to the app whatsoever. I've also tried without sd card, same thing happens. There is no power issue as the gimbal turns on and runs it's start procedure wiggle. It's after 10 seconds that it then goes limp and camera drops. I've unscrewed the camera and gimbal and...

No, haven't changed that for around 12 months. Just wondered if it could get corrupted some how.

I have checked the grey cables, unplugged and reconnected but unfortunately it made no difference. I see the ribbon cable is significantly cheaper than a whole new camera/gimbal unit so it may be worth heading down that route. It wouldn't be software related would it? Like a corruption or...

I have a phantom 3 advanced which had just passed its 100 flight milestone. When I went to fly yesterday the phantom turned on as normal and the camera went through its normal start up procedure but then after 10 seconds the gimbal goes limp and the camera drops down, I have no video signal to...

Indeed. The furthest i have achieved is 4.5km with only a cheap 3d printed windsurfer. Everything stock. Same thing, turned around because of battery probably had another 1000m in it, just didn't want to push it. 9km round trip is more than satisfying.

What firmware are you using? Upgraded mine a little while ago to 1.3.2 and the most recent go version at that time and it was junk. Constant drop outs and disconnections, down graded old school to 1.1.9 and the pilot app 1.10 and it has been happy ever after.

and you get good flight distance?
