I hit a tree and need some advice!

If you know someone or if there is a welding shop near you they can tig weld that aluminum tab back on much cheaper than you can buy the entire mounting bracket.

If you was close to me I would do it for you free of charge.

TIG doesn't go real good on plastic components.

Sorry! I was under the impression that the gimbal assembly was light weight cast aluminum!

Some of it is, it's hard to tell by looking.

I was kind of nervous about repairing my drone myself after I crash it, but it was easier than I thought. The gimbal/camera is easy to replace. The shell takes some time but not as hard. Give it a try parts are not that expensive.

You are so lucky. That is a very cheap fix. My camera has cost me a couple of times that were a lot more expensive than that. Ebay should have the part for less than $10.

Prevent the crash before it happens, go to flight school.

I crashed into a tree and my gimbal arm broke. Where would I get my drone repaired?View attachment 74193 View attachment 74194

Fix it yourself. I wreaked mine and it lost communication, had to tear it apart the second day I got it. If it won't recalibrate, you'll have to do it too. It's easy after the first time.

Love this video, I wreaked mine trying to film Christmas lights at someones house. They wanted me to fly inside and get the stair way, I did fine until I tried to back out of the door way.

I have two pieces of advice. 1) Consider personal property insurance which has a zero deductible, it's full replacement value and covers loss and crashes etc. I have mine from State Farm. I'm in Connecticut. If they initially tell you that they don't insure drones, either tell them to check with their HQ, because they DO; or email my own State Farm agent for help: [email protected]. Advice # 2): Beware of trees.

Hope this helps.

I do all kinds of repairs at very reasonable prices. I’m located in Congers, NY 10920 but I accept shipped items.
