Hi All,
Purchased my P3P at the very end of August, and while overall I think it is an awesome platform which I very much enjoy flying, I find myself hampered by the fact I find new things going wrong due to what looks like build quality that are making it unsafe to fly. Until this past weekend (I flipped on take off due to large gust of wind) I had never crashed my drone once.
15 flights and almost a month to the day I noticed the beginning of the stress crack issue in the inner screw recesses of the two rear arms. Not wanting to deal with DJI warranty service (I live in Aus where there is no domestic DJI repair centre) I went ahead and purchased a second shell. Before doing the swap over, I decided I'd attempt the glue fix that many had posted about. This seems to have done the trick as after another dozen flights on there is no further cracking and the slight rotational flex I was feeling in the two rear arms prior to applying the glue is no longer present.
Anyway, to my most recent issue. Last few flights I had noticed significant gimbal skew where no amount of calibration (auto or manual) would correct. During a pre flight check last week I found that the 2 of the 4 rubber vibration absorbers were missing. This was because the plastic pins that keep them there had simply fallen out, just lucky the missing plastic pins were diagonal from each other.
Despite this latest failure, I am still not wanting to lose my drone to DJI warranty service for months during prime videography season. I have found replacements for the rubber vibration absorbers, however I cannot find anything resembling the plastic pins what keep the gimbal attached to the drone. Can anyone help me out with a part number or online store that stock these?
Thanks!
P.S - Apologies for semi rant post for what effectively is just a request for where I can get plastic pins to attach gimbal to drone...
P.P.S - I own a P3P, not P3A as stated in title (brain fade) ...
