Well didn’t last long. Had a really hard landing due to operator error on my part. I was bring the drone down manually and glanced down to hit the land button on the phone and didn’t realize the left stick locked down. Looked up just in time to see the lights go out and gravity take over. Fell from about 30 ft on asphalt so it could’ve been worse if higher up and further away from me and didn’t see exactly where it hit the ground. Actually could’ve caught it if not for total shock of what happened. Didn’t realize stick was locked until after the fact. Good news it will still power up and take off so I assume it will fly although I didn’t really test it just in case. Will probably try tomorrow.
So here’s my question. I broke the gimbal arm which cracked the plate below it(see pic), cable is broke, camera completely off, bottom shell cracked in one spot(see pic), legs are a little bent but not cracked but will replace as safety concern. What all would I actually need to order to fix this thing and get it back in the air safely with a working gimbal/camera?
Thanks in advance for any help. Figured something like this would happen so I’m really glad I didn’t spend more than I did on my first phantom. While still bummed I’m more mad at myself for the stupid mistake, but can’t learn anything without making a few of those.
