My ribbon cable to mini USB broke at the point where the ribbon connects to the mini usb after only five flights. Never had a crash or hard landing.
It is less than a month old so I am going to contact my UK dealer (Heliguy) tomorrow and demand a replacement gimbal or a full refund as I believe it is not fit for purpose and here in the UK Trading Standards will back me up.
I also have the fallback of my credit card company should I need to go that route.
I know I could easily use the spare ribbon cable that was supplied but if I fit that I may be breaking any warranty conditions as I am not a "qualified technician", after all, if you tinker with any other purchased product you render any warranty invalid.
I believe there is a design fault as the ribbon, when plugged into a GoPro, is under tension at the point where it joins the usb and it must also be susceptible to buffeting with wind, etc.
So now I've got that off my chest I was wondering is there anywhere that can supply these cables as if there was I would happily buy a dozen because I think I will need them if I stick with this gimbal in it's current design.
