Gimbal problems...

[TheDopeGodfather]

So, I stupidly tested out the waypoint feature in Litchi before setting the default altitude. Hit a tree, and now my gimbal looks like this. Camera still works and so does gimbal up and down movement. It's just hanging weird. Any suggestions, or should I send it in for repair?

It looks bent. I would send it in.

Oh dear. Can it just be streightend?

I would not try that. It could make it worse or snap a set screw.

I meant once dismantled. Then again, I guess it'd be just as easy, and better, to replace it....

Yeah, that part is only a few dollars.

Replacement part is the best option

Could someone please link me to the exact part that needs replacing? I'm still not exactly sure.

I would think it would be easier to send it in. I looked in dji store and they don't sell them anymore, but they still sell the phantoms, witch I thought they discontinued.

Update: Replaced the gimbal yaw arm and now everything is great! Phew, that was a close one!
