+Mike Morgan I'm glad I could help! I remember how it felt when I crashed mine and there wasn't a really decent video showing how to fix it. This was my attempt at solving that problem.

Hey dude, I did this repair last night (without instruction, I'm searching for a solution to another problem now) and just a word of advice. You said wrapping the cable around the camera axis was the hardest part, to which I agree, but if you start at the camera (plug wire into camera first), then install the camera and screw, THEN wrap the cable around and then do the rest backwards.. you don't have to wrap the cable underneath itself. The next arm is problematic as well but my solution to that was opening the housing, open the clip, close the housing, then use tweesers or something small to close the clip with the housing encasing it.

Thanks broo

Great video. I'd mention that you have to pinch the flat grey wire in order to remove.

Thank you for the video. I used your link for the parts I need and will be watching the video again when my parts come in the mail so I don't break it even more. lol

hola gracias por las instrucciones me ayudaron mucho para poder cambiar el flex que se me había cortado yo hice un cambio en la forma de enroscar el flex a la camara (al final), primero hice la vuelta por debajo y después puse la camara me fue más fácil que hacerlo de la forma que vos espero que te sirva. saludos

great video hope i never need to do it. o would add if you are in a environment with alot of static electricity to wear a grounding strap.even if you're not it would be a good ideal. a static shock can destroy circuitry

hey I have a problem I have a Phantom 3 4k drone and my drone be having a slight wobble in it. I bought several new propellers still the same issue. when it is setting down there's no wobble issues only whenever I flying do you think that's a mechanical issue or a software issue?

This is great. But where do I get the parts?

Is this ribbon replacement the same as the Phantom 2 vision plus? Thanks

You sir are a technician's technician! I wish I knew why all motors turned off in flight with over half a charge on the battery. I need the same fix.

hey. Does it work without the camera? I have the same broken gimbal but don't know it could still be controlled without the camera or not.

lol life saver bro forgot where the black and gray wire was lol

I broke that clip off that holds the ribbon. Can I purchase a new board or clip? Thanks for the video.

*Dont use this for 4K cameras*. You 'need' to start at the camera end for that version. The ribbon connector inside to the camera will never allow that wind and is a lot tighter fit and use the screw hole on the opposite side to mount camera to shaft . Yes I found out the hard way. Good video though..

Would you recommend gimbal flex flat cable from China ? Seems so fragile and wondering how reliable is not OEM one. Dou you have experiences guys? Does it works on not OEM one?

I just broke that black cable that wraps around it): can you get just that?

Just a hint when removing the plastic clips that hold on the gimble. You push the clip back down onto the shaft and leave it for 10 seconds then pull it back up and it will come right off.

This is alot more to it but hopefully I will do it

You could use a close up shot or a couple of still pictures there to help explain it. For the most part, this was easy to follow, and make no mistake it is a difficult fix that takes time and lots of patience to do. Please, in the future, forget the music.

I have quick question that I'm having trouble with. Do you see that pin your finger is pointing at at 16:52 ? That pin doesn't exactly go in and out of that hole in the vibration board very easily without taking the board off. Is it ok to bend the board enough to slip the pin in or is there another trick? I replace my vibration board and now I wish I had put that pin in before I attached the board to the drone itself because it doesn't want to cooperate if you put it in the way it's supposed to be... so mine is upside down and I don't want to start the project all over if I can help it. Any ideas on how to solve this small problem and has anyone else had this problem? Thanks in advance for any help.

It's hard to make an instructional video, The music was not distracting to me. Viewers, enjoy his effort and information, stop criticizing. You can be critical when you produce a better quality instructional video. Until then shut up and enjoy the information.

Did you run into a problem with the screws being different sizes and types when you went to put it all back together? I have three different screws left to install and none seem to work in the holes left to fill. I asked DJI if they had a diagram showing which screws went where in the camera and gimble arm assembly, unfortunately the help chat folks did not, nor could they direct me where to find on. Would you mind taking yours apart one more time and differentiate between which screws go where in the reassembly of the camera/gimble unit. Or even better if you can point me in the right direction I will contact whom ever you might know that can provide a breakdown of these pieces. I believe that might help everyone in the repair process.

Can you confirm if that's a roll or yaw motor that you replaced? 9:15

Hi, the same thing has occurred to me on my Phantom 3 Advanced but I'm just trying to see if it will still fly with the damage that has occurred and it won't. When I power it on, yellow lights flicker non stop and it won't let me calibrate the drone. I've tried doing a software update on the drone itself but it didn't go through. If I buy the parts you did to fix the gimbal, do you think it will fix the errors that are occurring to my drone?

@DGMaxWax

+Seth van Zyl make sure you purchase he ones for the advanced, but yes. And I believe here is a way to remove the gimbal completely and still fly.

Look at your video at 13:15-13:20 (and also at 13:49) and note the rather large gap above the ribbon cable connector. That gap is large enough that you can reach in with a tool and flip up the ribbon cable lock, which means you do not have to disassemble the motor setup. What kind of tool? Take a hatpin (ie, a long pin) and heat up the end with a propane torch and form a U-shaped hook with a very small radius....say 1/16th inch. That will allow you to poke in the tool and hook the cable lock from behind and pop it up. For whatever reason that particular location is the only location with a large gap above the connector allowing access to the ribbon cable lock with a U-hook.
