DJI Mavic 2 zoom/pro landing leg replacement - no soldering! Replace front leg , replace landing leg

  • A quick video showing how to remove and replace just the landing leg on the Mavic 2 zoom and pro after an accident, no need to open the drone, no soldering and can be replaced in around 10-15 mins.
    I sourced entire replacement front arms from AliExpress, 7-10 day delivery for around £20 each, I’m obviously only going to be using only the legs, meaning I’ll have spare arms, wiring and motors should I ever need them.
    My apologies for my hand being in the way of the shot in some places, if you missed something or didn’t see something please comment below and I’ll try my best to answer.
    I’m not a professional electrician, just someone who has done a lot of phone screens and repairs, and decided I’d take a look at my Mavic 2 my self before paying someone to repair it.
    I should add that ANY, DIY repairs will invalidate any warranty you may have on your drone, I bought mine second hand and as such don’t have any warranty.

    This was very helpful. I was able to order the replacement part online and as soon as I started taking off the broken part I thought for sure I was in deep doo doo. Like many casual hobbyists, I don't have a workshop for drone repairs so the idea of soldering and re-soldering had me stymied. Thankfully, I came across your video which provided a simple solution to an otherwise challenging problem. I just finished my repairs and fired up my drone and all systems are go! Thanks for your assistance!

    Found this video after repairing my m2p front right leg. During the fix I damaged the esc board soldering : - ( replaced and fixed esc only to encountered a faulty imu. Week later repaired the all errors and now I'm back in the air. I Soo wish I found this video before I spent £120 on parts and many hours labour.
    Well done mate good video. No doubt I'll be using it for reference in the future ha ha.

    You can buy the landing gear piece itself..
    It only costs $8 on Amazon.. no soldering.
    I had to dremel the leg a bit to fit the led out.
    I couldn't get the led through the hole attached to the wires and didn't want to separate it from it's wires. I used a small drill bit to make a hole to fit the led through.
    It doesn't damage the structural integrity of the piece and when done it looks like new.
    Fitting the led through the new piece with my big fingers required patience but a lil persistence and it'll go in nicely and sit in place especially after you replace the plastic led cover.
    I just fixed my Mavic 2 Pro last night.
    Your scalpel idea is probably quicker & better than the dremel. But as long as we both got the job done.. it's all Gravy Baby!

    Thanks so much for this. Just did this repair, worked brilliantly. I didn’t have a scalpel tool so I used a tiny Dremel tool bit to grind the hole out a bit larger.

    thanks for this. Worked a charm. Though i might recommend if you have a small selection of drill bits then just spinning them by hand to create the opening will be more simple.

    Thanks, i was doing alot of searching because i broke my leg aswell, hearing about soldering and all that was making this whole project sound like im going to have to spend an arm and a leg to have dji replace it. Cant believe no one thought to just make the hole a little bigger . Thanks you saved me some headache.

    Hi guys, sorry for the lack of communication.
    Firstly thanks for all the kind words.
    Secondly, the small plastic leg cannot, or at the time of making the video, could not be bought separately, I purchased the full arm, complete including new motor form Ali express for around £25 each. I then remove the part I needed, and boxed the rest just incase I need any spares.

      If you can find this video, then why can't you do a friggin' Google search, or go to the DJI...or eBay...or Amazon websites and DO YOUR OWN SEARCH for the parts?!? They are nearly EVERYWHERE. Do you have to call your mommy for instructions on how and where to buy groceries when you run out? If you need specific instructions on how to shop online, then try THIS incredibly complicated search term:
      "Mavic 2 Pro replacement legs"
      So much for the notion that "There's no such thing as a stupid question"! JEEZ. And by the looks of it, you're not the only lazy moron out there that needs specific instructions about how to do your own shopping. Just out of curiosity...do you find shopping (in general) to be a mentally challenging task?
