I am anxiously awaiting a new cable kit ordered after my treetop incident. the 4pin connector
into the gimbal had wires pulled out and i have lost visual indicators on my screen showing battery level and
satellite strength. (camera and gimbal seem to still work fine)
i have been trying to find some help online so i am prepared for the fix once the cable gets here,
and from what i can see, this cable has 3 connectors going into the gimbal from the phantom, and
once up into the phantom it becomes 1 cable. then from looking at pictures of opened up phantoms
i believe that cable splits to go the the appropriate connections inside the phantom.
my question/concern is what tools may i need for this, anything special? also, it looks like
i may need some plastic cable ties. while i have it open i will look at my gps cable connection
and see if i feel like it should have something added to increase it's strength.
if this cable repair is successful, i hope to get my battery and satellite levels back on my
screen, but, if it doesn't cure my satellite and battery levels (possible other issue?) would
it still be safe to fly seeing the phantom as it does have green blinking lights and powers up
normally? (have tried without props)
