Thanks Jack! I think I did pretty well editing out some of the angry bits, this one can be frustrating! But it's so satisfying to see these devices fly up into the sky and give us a bird's eye view.
definetly not easy but it WORKED thank you!!! as far as the shielding re-install, I recommend not screwing in either sides of the gimbal first and only connecting the little ribbon. It was so much easier that way
Very helpful video! I just replaced the whole gimbal assembly in less than five minutes thanks to you. It's a shame too, because the camera still works on the old one.
Awesome Video, very helpful! Any chance you have seen a pitch motor not longer sitting flush in the roll bracket? Drone had hit the ground, it has a gimbal overload error at times but all the time the gimbal no longer moves at all. It looks like the left side of the bracket (5min 08 sec mark) no longer sits flush in. Have manually undone both sides and tried to resit but not working. Not sure if its broken the pitch motor or just bent something and so its not sitting straight. When the drone turns on the gimbal moves fine and looks to be in good working order and I am thinking its just due to too much pressure and not sitting properly so the motor cant move it without getting stuck.
Thanks for the tutorial, I just fixed my friend's Mavic 2 Pro (broken pitch motor, the one nested in camera housing). @TapticDigital to reinstall the U-shape cover, I found it easier to do it before attaching the thick washer and second motor. I think you did it at that point, but in video it is actually mentioned after attaching the washer and motor. Anyway I started with roughly putting the U-shape to the place, then started with the shorter side to snap it in bellow the nested pitch motor, then continue snapping the shape across its length and lastly carefully snapping the other end on the side where the washer will go in next step.
thanks for the video do you have an idea why on my mavic 2 pro the camera won't focus anymore it stay focus at about 1-2 m and when manual focusing or auto focusing nothing change it stays focus at 2m the same so the landscape is always out of focus
I've seen that issue a couple times, unfortunately the fix is usually replacing the camera assembly if the focus motor is damaged. I would check for repairs from DJI first, as the camera module can sometimes cost upwards of $600, and even more in labor if you have it professionally installed.
@@TapticDigital @Taptic Digital ok no dji service here in thailand, so have to do with local technician, so the guy replaced the gimbal for me but now I see there is a problem with focus, do you the focus motor is in the camera itself?
@@NicolasVoisinFilm it could also be the ribbon wire that connects the gimbal and camera to the board, slight damage to that can cause focus and movement issues.
I changed the cable and it still not working I lost some screws though is that something may cause the weight imbalance or something or is should still work… I mean places where three screws go I put 2 and I did touched some parts covered with blue creamy stuff
@@kobabui744 blue creamy stuff 😂. These cables from DJI seem to not go through the same quality control, and I've ended up with several defective ones so unfortunately that may just be bad luck. Thankfully the screws are very light and have no real impact on the balance of the drone, it's smart enough to compensate for any variations.
Great teardown video, very helpful! The gimbal on my Mavic 2 Pro is having issues, upon powering up it works perfectly fine but as soon as I get it up in the air, it immediately pops up with a gimbal overloading message. The gimbal resets after I land the drone and restart it, super frustrating, I've tried every non repair solution and nothing has worked. What do you think is the problem?
Tough to narrow down, I would check by turning the drone on and picking it up, manually rotating it around to see if there's a certain angle that causes the overload. But in most cases the overload is caused by a very small tear in the ribbon itself.
@@TapticDigital thanks for the advice! I've rotated the drone in different directions and it seems to be fine, just when I get up in the air it starts to overload. Would you recommend a ribbon cable replacement?
@@pianoshorts152 I would at least give it a try. The other possibility is a bad IMU, but that will give you far more errors than just gimbal overload. It would pop up with gyroscope failure warning, and all IMU data would read blank in the menu.
I just crashed my drone today. It hit the ground bounced back up into the air and tried kept flying. But now it’s telling me “No Image Transmission Signal” I guess my question is will I find my answer on which part I need to replace when I take it apart? And how would I know what the name of that part is if I want to find a replacement for it online?
Thankfully DJI kept it simple, Image Transmission Signal cable 😉. If you open it up you may find a rip in the ribbon, you may not, either way it is still your first step for repairing the issue!
Yep, error 200 is almost always a ribbon flex issue. Parts are cheap and definitely replaceable, but the process of replacing them isn't exactly what I'd call fun. I think the repair in this video took me a solid 2-3 hours just trying to get everything routed properly.
Masterful tutorial. Concise, witty, clear as a bell-and humble. Just beautifully done.

Hey thanks so much for that tutorial that help me a lot. For the u shape thing you have to insert it before you put the bearing. It slides very easily
This confirms that I need to go to the shop and pay to get this done.
It is absolutely not for beginners! The parts are cheap but the labor involved isn't.
@@TapticDigital how much would it cost to replace the row motor and gimbal motor arm?
Just what the doctor ordered. Thanks
That's me, phone and drone doctor!
I am about to fix my gimbal and this will help immensely.

glare resistant bellows for dji mavic pro 2 can you give me a link so I can order a new one

Had the error 200 code and replaced the part in this video, as well as the ribbon, now i have video feed but no gimbal movement....help!

Thanks top vidio
The flex could produce error 200 in the mavic pro 2 zoom? I have one and the camera does not give me video and the gimbal is not stabilized
Yep, error 200 is almost always a ribbon flex issue. Parts are cheap and definitely replaceable, but the process of replacing them isn't exactly what I'd call fun. I think the repair in this video took me a solid 2-3 hours just trying to get everything routed properly.
Thank you very much for the answer, I suspected the flex at first, but the description of the error had nothing to do haha@@TapticDigital
I hope that works for my Mavic 2 Zoom too, have a similar issue with "gimbal overload"
Did it fix it? Mine shows the same problem
My fine motor skills could never.
My mom, like any parent, always wanted me to be a doctor. Didn't work out that way, but now I tell her I'm a phone and drone doctor
Is it the same with the zoom
Nearly identical
@@TapticDigitaleven the ribbon cable
And also 1:50 is the ribbon cable shown here the problem with mine the entire gimbal does not work but the only wire i see disconnected is that one
At 7:05, the drone looks like a shark
Get too close and you might lose a finger!
What a nightmare to work with these super fragile and small cables..
As EEVBlog would said.
