**Disclaimer** Changing the arm means changing the yaw motor as its built in, this creates its own problems as it turns out the boards are paired and calibrated to the motors meaning when you have changed the arm the camera will likely not centralise, this resulted in the drone being returned to the shop where the arm was purchased and i believe they swapped the board for another one that more closely matched the arm they sold me and as you can see from my other video its perfect again
I know this is old but I brought my Mavic out of storage recently and needed to do exactly this repair and you made it possible for me. On mine it was the exact same issue - drone fine, camera fine but the gimbal was bent. Thank you kindly for making this!
@@shawngaske5458 glad it helped
As apparently many others, you have also saved me a few hundred € with the help of your video. Thanks!!
Note to greenhorns such as myself: Watch out while in sport mode - the drone needs quite some meters to stop. And practice with the DJI Simulator. :)
Glad you found it useful
same bullshit mistake I made showing off to my young nephew when asked how fast it went. Literally forgot in two seconds and she hit a water tower....
BRO YOU SAVED MY ASS THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! My pitch arm was all messed up I was able to fix everything myself because of you and now I’m flying again!!! Seriously THANK YOU!
glad this worked for you
Thanks for the video. You guided me right thru the process easily & Saved me time & money.
Glad it was useful
Thank you so much sir!!! You saved my drone's life. Big Job Sir.
Thank you dont forget to subscribe 😁
The video was such a great help! Would recommend better lighting for next one!
Thanks again!
Yes working on the studio setup it was one of my first videos i didnt realise it would be so helpful
Great video. Thanks. Where did you get the replacement fumble arms though? Maybe I’m using the wrong words when searching online but I just can’t seem to find them for a sensible price?

Thanks a million times. Worked like a charm on Mavic Mini
Glad it helped
Thank you! You saved me hundreds of dollars. Much appreciated!
Glad it was useful
Muito obrigado meu amigo! Através do seu vídeo tive noção de como trocar o gimbal do mavick pro 2 ! Everything works perfect! Thank you so much !
Thats great glad you are back working again merry christmas
Thank you so much sir

Sir, can you save mine as well?
I poked a hole in one of the side covers on the arm. 36.32 time stamp. I see that is is 2 sided tape. How can I find these covers. Part Name? Thanks a tone for this video. Good work
Not cheap to replace but see below

Thanks for the video! Everything went as expected except for the COM PORT in Windows. Tried it on two computers now but still no luck. I don't know what I'm doing wrong...
Have you the drone on and has the pc recognised it as a device ?
@@Kenprints yes, but not as a com port, only as usb device ( sd card) its also not a hidden port, it's just not there ( on three different computers)
pregunto: Porque no dejo ver el final del video?, por lo que veo no cumplió con lo esperado y por eso no dejo ver tal vez el error con el que quedó la cámara o el dron como tal.
How do you calibrate the yaw motor after installing the new one
Hi Sir Good day, My M2P gimbal is acting strange. The gimbal is still functioning at first, I can still calibrate it through the app but when I fly it and tilt the camera down or up, it won't move and then the camera is tilting on it's own Up and Down. And by the way there's a little impact happened, it crashed about 1 meter from the ground coz I hit something.
Is it possible that it can be fixed by reseating all the cables? Thanks.
Its possible you have loosened something with the impact another person in the comments below had a similar issue and it turned out to be a cable that had come off partially so its worth a try for sure use my guide to tear it down to access the cables then reinstall it see how you get on
@@Kenprints yeah Thanks, actually I tried it earlier and it works. Thanks again.
Jez Aerial thats excellent
Hi!! I have the exact same problem, but i also have no image and not recognize the sd card. My M2P felt after get inside a low tree. Maybe, my drone could have a flex cable disconected? After fix the gimbal and make a factory reset, do you think i could get image again? Thank you from Brazil!
You would have to take it apart to investigate see if theres something simple or serious wrong
Hi what needs to be done to fix DJI Mavic Pro 2 gimbal overload error it was crashed repaired and a lot of gimbal parts were replaced this only occurs in Sport mode thanks
Im guessing in sports mode the top of the camera housing is rubbing the underside of the mount if you move it by hand thru its full range of motions it should become clear where the issue lies mine rubbed on the rear cornera
I have a mavic pro with a bent roll arm, and it has a bit of trouble centering horizon. Would you recommend replacing the roll and yaw arms? Or just the roll arm?
Very good video, thank you very much. Is the arm of the mavic 2 the same as the mavic zoom? i can't get the new arm of the mavic 2. thanks.
Yaw arm might be the same roll arm is different
friend, my mavic 2 zoom met a tree. I changed all the gimbal motors, the flat cable to the core and the video cable. Now I have the video and zoom, no errors on the dji go app and the drone flies but the gimbal does not move. At start up it shows no signs of life. What can I do? if it were only one of the three engines, the others should not move or only if one is broken all remain stationary? thank you
I have one here at present in a similar situation and im still trying to figure out what the issue is
@@Kenprints you have gimbal status N/A?
@@nettunaccio i have a gimbal that has been repaired but the camera part flops when it finishes initialising
@@Kenprints can you give it a try for me? Could you just unplug one of the three gimbal motors to see if all the others stop moving too? For your problem have you tried to do the calibration with phyton?
Yaw motor demontage ???
Missing as you calibrate the camera again! It happens to me that I try to calibrate and the camera looks to the right. Do you know how to re-calibrate the camera? Oh, could the controller be out of calibration or faulty? SOS 🆘 Waiting for your reply sir. Congratulations! 🤞
Yes check my other videos i show the process for recalibration of gimbal using python script on pc
ua-cam.com/video/Xx51f4QuMbI/v-deo.html
@@Kenprints I will try to do it step by step. What program must be downloaded to calibrate the camera? Does the Mavic 2 Pro drone have to be connected to the PC from the first moment? Thank you very much 🙏. I hope to calibrate the controller. The controller is new! Health!
@@tomasjosegemelos5200 if you look over the pinned comments below you will see a link to a video by eric purwadi which was the basis for the mavic 2 version i used check out his video and it shows how to get the software etc and drop him a like when you are there 😉
@@Kenprints I will do that! 👏👏
Hi ~ I left the Gimbal Lock on my MP during Power On. Other times nothing bad happens. BUT this time, after it had sefl-checked after power on, I removed the Gimbal Lock. Now my MP stated in App that Gimbal is NOT ATTACHED. There is Blurry Video Feed to App but Can't control gimbal or camera. Would this replacement fix my issue...???
I cant see how the gimbal guard would have caused that type of damage to be honest especially the blurry video etc sounds like something got torn on the video transmission cable either that or your ribbon connectors are loose or damaged where they attach to the drone
Very cool video. Can you please make a video on how to swap gimbal from Pro to Zoom. I consider buying a zoom gimbal I just wanted to make sure if it is a straightforward swap or there needs to be software configuration after fact. Thanks.
Should be a straighforward swap the calibration is only due to the fact the individual parts of the gimbal were from different sources and needed to all be synced together as such - but if you had a complete mavic 2 pro gimbal assembly it would be as simple as opening a few screws and removing 1 or 2 flex cables and installing the new one
SUAS Media awesome! Am glad DJI didn’t put any restrictions in their firmware updates. With that sorted out, next in to find a zoom gimbal. Will let you know if in any case I have luck in buying and installing one in my M2P. Thanks again.
@@hbl_channel no probs
Thank you for the video, it is amazing.
you know if it is possible to replace the camera motherboard? in case if it is broken
Its possible to replace yes unsure if you will need to do the calibration steps afterwards butbi would assume so
@@Kenprints Thank you for your answer, because I heard that maybe the board on the camera, and the board on the gimbal of the camera (if you understand me right now), both maybe don't really see each other or work with each other after replacing the board on the gimbal. Please each info is very very important to me, I really appreciate your answers.
calibration! do you mean this ua-cam.com/video/rOWD_OfOROI/v-deo.html
Thank you very much
@@wissamalassadi136 no watch my calibration video as yes otherwise the boards wont be paired correctly
@@Kenprints This one right ? ua-cam.com/video/Xx51f4QuMbI/v-deo.html
So after replacing and calibration it will work hopefully?
@@wissamalassadi136 it should its not the most straightforward process as anyone who has done it will testify to but when it works it works
What precision screw # and type used?
It seems that m2p teardowns are few & far between, also I have heard people talking about the gimble & camera mentioning magnesium, aluminium etc, did you get any idea while disassembled what the materials where like the gimble and camera housing? but that was instructive and a great resource.
mathew sutton hi Matt they are made from seriously strong stuff I tried straightening the original arm but it wouldn’t bend in the end excessive force snapped it in half but it took a heck of a lot of force. Hope the video was helpful
This is great, where fo i get genuine parts though or what do i search for specifically because I have the exact same problem
There are a couple of sellers here in ireland that sell genuine parts let me know if you need their details
How did you know that the ribbon cable is the problem?
Great video, is it possible to disassemble into Camera to clean the lens ?
My drone was dropped in water after it dry, everything is working good. But, it has some stain inside camera lens that cause image quality.
you could try but will probably ruin camera its probably in the sensor itself
Thank you! This helped me greatly
You are welcome
Well done. Great video
Thanks Paul
This is a very cool video. Woow. i love it.
Great video for lockdown day 1😂
Cheers 🤣
NEEDING HELP!!! I have a magic 2 pro that had a small crash. Nothing major. And my gimbal will not stay where I put it when the unit is powered off. It always falls to one side. And also it is not smooth looking when flying. Where do I get replacement parts good quality? Looking for the gimbal arm I believe is the issue. I know of cloud city drones but can’t find the part I think I need.
Www.radiocontrolledshop.ie
@@Kenprints big thank you!
@@StephenBrewer89 looks like they are low on stock at the moment also but hivedrone store in newry northern ireland have them also
Great video👍
Thanks 👍
Where did you get the parts?
Radiocontrolledshop.ie
@@Kenprints Appreciate the fast response!
Hey, Great vidoe. I have a very similar issue to what yours had. Youd hardly carry out repairs if I sent you the drone?I'm here in galway but would only make it worse if I went at it 😅
I could if you trusted me to look at it ha - look up suas media on facebook and message me there
my mavic 2 pro fell like 2 feet. and after it did the camera does not want to keep horizon level what can i do to fix it. or should i get a new camera
It may just need to be recalibrated if theres no physical damage check my other video on the non official calibration process
@@Kenprints i followed your video step by step but get this error
Error: could not open port 'com6': PermissionError(13, 'Access is denied.', None, 5)
i again followed your video step by step making sure i do everything right as you did it but still nothing keep getting this error-----Error: could not open port 'com6': PermissionError(13, 'Access is denied.', None, 5).
Not sure never had that happen before is the drone powered on ?
@@Kenprints yes the drone is on and had a full battery. i tripple checked the com port number to make sure i want to access the right one. where your port is 3 mine is 6. but keep getting this error
Not complete...he didnt show how to change motors on jaw arm,,only changed the signal cord,,thats NOT a complete gimbal teardown and rebuild,,bs
Cannot get those two small black cables to connect at 26:35
Im assuming one just snaps down on top the other but it just will not snap into place. Dont want to force it but not sure where to go from here
Anyone else having this problem?
Yes they are quite fiddly to get connected but keep at it and u will get it
@@Kenprints Definitely not designed for my sausage fingers but Ill keep at it 👍
I have similar fingers its not easy i may have got them fitted using a plastic pry tool off camera 😉
we have my crashed amvic 2 zoom gimbal, video is ok, it move when i start my drone after that it is like no power, how we fixed it? plz help
Torn ribbon cable id guess
Could you solve the problem?
I put mine together and it says my “gimbal is disconnected”. I took it a part 3 times to make sure everything is hooked up the right way and it still shows the same thing so idk. You know anything that could help fix that? Thanks
All ribbon cables seated correctly ?
Helped me fix mine, Thanks!
Great stuff glad it helped
Hey mate awesome video I'm having problems with my mavic 2 pro also but its just the gimbalnis getting no power but I can see through the camera perfectly just can't move it just flops around as if it was turned off any idea on what it maybe
Hi Tony did it have an impact ?
Ya mam had a little one from the floor on my balcony to the roof just took off and now can see through camera just no movement replaces the flat ribbon cable and still no change
Tony Kelly and you have tried reseating all ribbons , theres the one to the main body of the drone 3 on the gimbal control board also if you have and still no success then u may have a faulty control board radiocontrolshop in dublin probably have one they might be able to swap it for you or sell you the board and you could swap it yourself and then calibrate using the method above
Ya man so iv taken it apart and the connector on the back of the camera is attached correctly also on the top of the gimbal going into the board that one is correct and then the flat ribbon is new and also correctly attached so you think it just maybe the board on the top of the gimbal so just really replace that and then connect all connectors and should be good?
Tony Kelly hard to know but the fact you have picture thru the camera makes me think its either a cable issue or possibly the board although id be more inclined to think its the cables - the little ribbon cable under the board controls the yaw motor the long connector on top of the board controls camera and roll motors so if all those are connected correctly and it has power its either a pinched cable or the board is damaged
hello sir,
I had a few gimbal overload issue with my drone. Every thing works fine but when I start it up 2 out of 4 times the gimbal goes num. If the gimbal start correctly as soon is the drone leave the ground or i make a turn the gimbal goes crazy. I send it back to DJI but they said there was water damaged and won't take the warranty. So now my only option is to see what song by my self. I tried to correct by the app with the automatic gimbal recenter but it's stop loading at 20 %. I tried changing the cabel connecting the phone to the remote, sometimes that the issue but it didn't work. I reassembled the wire to the gimbal and give it a brush also not working. I noticed that the wire that connect the gimbal to the drone is in two separate pieces maybe that the problem I can see the connection between the tow. Please help me I love my drone and want to keep it. I can still do hyperplas and a the end of the shooting. Since there was no abrupt movement the camera return to norma. But soon as I take the joystick the gimbal go num.
Your video is amazing and help me in my process.
firstly
did it crash ? its easier to determine what might be wrong if an accurate description of what caused it is provided
@@Kenprints it had some water damaged. but before that the gimbal had the same problem but it was not often just like every 10 flight. after it went in the water it's every flight.

Ok guys so a wee update on this I managed to find a link to a video that showed how to edit this using python script for the DJI spark, now you have to modify the text slightly to get it to work with the mavic 2 pro but I used it earlier today and it worked a charm the gimbal is now perfectly calibrated again see link below

Hi, great video. I had one incident. I will be sk thankfull if someone can help me.
Now I will tell you my story: I have Mavic 2 Zoom and recently I crashed it on the concrete. So the drone stuck to the power wire and camera snaped and the drone fell down on concrete. The impact was on the front of the drone(front left arm and then the front left vision sensor and then front right arm) Rear and upper part of the drone did not get any damage.
Front left motor stopped working and the arm broke, while right motor is ok but the arm is bent. Front left vision sensor does not work but right is working work. And now the worst damage...
The gimbal arm snapped off where it connects with gimbal dampener mount where those three screws screw. That transmission (long wide camera) cable that you connect directly to sensor of the camera has snaped and also that yaw axis motor conector that connects underneath camera gimbal transmission (long and wide) connector also snapped. So I think I need to replace the same gimbal arm as you did but I also need to buy that long conector (transmission cable) which has one wide plug od top and one wide plug on the bottom and one wide plug in the middle. •Do you know what I mean?
But there is no way to test the camera sensor, from the outside it looks it is ok but I do not know is it ok inside and does it works.
●Do you think that something could broke inside of the camera sensor from crash impact?
●Can I buy Yaw and Roll arm for Mavic 2 anywhere but I need to calibrate it or it has to be original arm?
●And what are the setting for Mavic 2 Zoom to calibrate Yaw and Roll arm?
I made a list of what I think I need to replace...
1. Front Left Arm with Motor
2. Front Right Arm with Motor
3. Both Forward Vision Sensors
4. Gimbale Transmission Flex Cable (that long wide cable)
5. Yaw and roll arm motor
6. Gimbal Dampener Mount
7. And Plastic Shell for Aesthetic
@@davidsoldatic1661 hi david
All those parts are readily available from many sources where are you located ? I would imagine the camera internals are probably ok its just a matter of rebuilding it back up and i have put the codes on my other video for calibration
@@Kenprints thanks you so much. Can I buy parts needed from Aliexpress?
@@davidsoldatic1661 possibly yes i bought all my parts from a local drone store for convenience

Lighting was a little low.
Thanks for the feedback yes the conditions were rubbish and the presentation not great but im working on it a little better every time hopefully, thanks for the feedback ive upgraded the lighting, backdrop and camera since then and will do more as funds allow. Thanks for watching
Guys dont forget to subscribe 😊
After just watching a breakdown where the narrator explains every move he makes, and why he makes it, this video needs a couple things to improve the content. More light as somebody else mentioned, and more comments on what you’re doing, example of when a piece or two “flew off” and you made no mention of what it was that flew off. I don’t mean to be dismissive or critical, just making suggestions as how to make a good video “better.”
Understood
It was my first ever video on a drone repair and if i had known it was going to be as popular id have done things differently but thanks for the advice will bear it in mind for future repairs
@@Kenprints I should have also said that your job of taking apart the gimbal and camera was really a complicated undertaking, made me jittery just to watch. Overall..it was very complex and well done. I have taken my Mavic Two Pro apart "twice" now to make repairs....replacing the left front arm after a crash, having to buy a detailed soldering tool and the arm...I felt like a macdaddie after doing that repair. Make your corrections and keep your videos going, you'll help a lot of UAV pilots.
