So basically I crashed it, need to replace compass which I am comfortable doing and found a replacement. However, my camera took some damage also, it broke the UV lens I had on, I put on the original. I turned it on to test it out and the camera reacts to the controller but is all twitchy before it moves and during movement. Any ideas as to what I may need to replace? All cords seem intact I'll post pics when I get home. Just wondering if any one knew of a site that sold camera/gimbal repair kits or something... Thanks!

The cameras swivel it hangs on got twisted all the way around in the crash I twisted it back it does look like a tiny part of that msy have broke will take a close look wjen I get home and share. Thanks will give it a shot
It is now unable to look up or down more than 20° and is all twitchy. Even upon start up of the drone. Any ideas as to what I will need to fix?
Is this how this cable should look when the cover is removed? I am beginning to suspect this is the issue with the camera.
It looks intact but I was thinking that also. It may have also messed the wrapping of the ribbon when it crash because it was rubbing when being moved manually, before I started taking it apart. Taking this camera apart is not fun btw I did an entire shell swap and this appears to be much worse so far
Looks like the gimbal arm is bent just replace the arm, same thing happened to mine and it's fixed like new however do note be careful when replacing any gimbal components. Any wrong move and it's over. They also sell the ribbon connectors and gimbal arms on amazon for cheap
YouTube has videos on how to replace everything including the placement of the ribbon connectors
Ended up just taking off and reapplying the ribbon wire and replaced the compass and she's good as new. Yay, thanks for advice.
