Help tracking down replacement gimbal arm

[PickleSlice]

Hello all,

I've been searching the forum but I have not been able to find a definite answer.

I have been given a Phantom 4 Advanced (WM332A) to try and repair. It fell from about 15 ft and the gimbal yaw arm broke, which also snapped the ribbon cable. The camera seems fine.

I cannot find P4 Advanced specific parts, so I've been researching and it looks like P4 Pro parts will fit, but can someone verify for me?

I'm looking at this kit, which I believe will work, although people are complaining about the ribbon cable, so I may need to track down a better cable.

Yes P4A uses Pro camera/gimble parts

Ribbon must be DJI OEM ..nothing else

Thank you very much for verifying for me!

One more question, where is a reliable place to buy OEM parts? Amazon doesn't seem to have them and Google searches pull up sketchy looking sites with sketchy ratings. IS there a place that the community uses?

djioemparts: Online Shopping for DJI Drones Repair Parts looks legit.

I’ve found them on eBay, there are a few reputable sellers with oem ribbons (DJI will be on the label with part #.) sealed in plastic. One example of several.

Check with DroneTed. He has a P4 Advanced camera/gimbal assembly ready to bolt on available.

I do. The P4 Adv gimbal is actually a P4 pro. You would probably need to update the firmware

There was not update needed, it all worked perfectly after replacing it.
