Camera crash

[500cc drone]

Can anyone make educated guess about repair costs here?

Situation: P3 advanced drone crashed and camera broke off and camera arm bent (see pictures)

Everything else seems to be ok. Starts up and motors turn normal.

Thanks

Really depends on the damage. The cable is not much but a little trying to get on right. A new gimbal arm is pretty inexpensive too. The issue is if the motor magnetic ring on the yaw arm is damaged. There are a few people on here that do repairs too. My magnets in the camera arm were damaged so by the time parts were totaled up I just got a whole new camera. The advanced camera is like 270 from places like B&H and drone nerds etc. even DJI it's about the same price. I paid 370 and got the 4K pro camera.

so here are some links....

IF you need the motor and arm for the roll ( i said yaw I'm sorry)
DJI Phantom 3 Gimbal Roll Arm Replacement with Motor (Pro/Adv/4k)

replacement yaw (the one you actually bent)
DJI Phantom 3 Gimbal Yaw Arm Replacement - Aluminum CNC (Pro/Adv/Std/4K)

Ribbon cable
DJI Phantom 3 Ribbon Cable Part 49 (Professional/Advanced/4k)


ribbon and yaw combo
DJI Phantom 3 Gimbal Yaw Arm Replacement - Aluminum CNC, Includes Ribbon Cable + Set Screw (Pro/Adv/4K)



So if you just need the ribbon and yaw, thats 40.00 so pretty cheap. The roll arm if ok, just presses back together btw.
