I spent an hour flying my phantom 3 standard on Tuesday filming a cross country event and at the very end ( I had 15% battery) so i decided to come in and land but when it was 5 meters above me the power cut out and it fell to earth. Unfortunately during the crash the gimbal support snapped (easy to replace) and the multithread gray wire came loose (Just clips back in) the other gray stayed attached but the black wire snapped.
from what I can understand the black wire is not that important as I started up my drone indoors to check the gimbal still worked. It all worked including the live feed. From what I can find the single gray wire is the live feed transmission but that leaves the black wire?? I believe it is a GND (Ground) wire for the live view as all power is supplied by the thick set of wires.
I have asked about repair from DJI but customer support was hopeless
so my question is, do I do a self repair and not reconnect the black wire? it all still functions fine. what am I risking by leaving it loose? alternatively does anyone know where I can get an individual PCI U.FL connector that I can put back on thre black wire myself?
Thanks in advance, Edward
