This is my first time posting in this great forum after doing some general reading for the past few days.
Yesterday I have crashed my P3S for the first time, after having it for a few months. The battery was already very low (less than 20%) when I suddenly lost connection with the drone. After I walked fast towards it to try and regain signal it started descending automatically, as there were only ~30 seconds left on the battery. At this point, it was above tall trees and far away from me, and I don't know if the battery died in mid-air and then drone fell into the trees, or maybe it descended until it touched the trees and then fell all the way to the ground.
I got panicked, ran into the woods and located the drone on the ground. A bit of dirt and scratches, one prop is broken, and the thing that upsets me the most is that the gimbal is completely broken.
So basically, what are my options?
1) Is there a good repair shop in the Boston, MA area I can use? if so, what is the cost of such a fix?
2) From a quick search I did after the crash I know I can get it fixed myself, I'm just not so sure about that as this will be my first time trying to do something like that with the drone. Kinda scary (How will I know that there's nothing else broken)?
Any help and advice are much appreciated.
