I just replaced my Phantom 4 pro yaw arm using this video. Yaw arm was bent from minor crash. This video was priceless in disassembling and reassembling the drone. Thank you very much. Now on to my Mavic Pro to replace or repair the gimbal/camera on it. Good luck to me.
Many thanks for posting this video. Helped and reassured me a lot when repairing my drone after crash. The yaw arm snapped off as well as the gimbal cable. Being in the UK I was unable to order genuine parts but a quick search on eBay got me the cable and yaw arm for approx £25. Took just over an hour to repair and drone is now fully functional. I recommend investing in top quality screw drivers when opening the gimbal as they are difficult to open.
Thank you very much for this wonderful video guide, thanks to this guide I was able to fix my broken gimbal with no problem, This is the best video guide that I have ever seen to be honest. Regards.
The reason for the tough screw removal is the blue thread locker on the screws. It is released by heat. You may consider using a soldering iron on the screw head a few seconds before you try to remove them. You can get thread locker to relock the screws into place at an auto parts store. It only takes I tiny bit to be sure the screws won't come out in flight.
Great video, awesome detail on the repair! I was ready to comment at about 24:45 that you forgot the gasket (I am a noob, I don't know where it goes), but then less than 30 seconds later you put it in the camera housing. :-) Regarding those ribbon cables, DJI has given very, very little clearance around the corner of the camera for the camera to pitch up and down freely. In the case of my P4P, I actually found a little glue ball interfering with the free movement of the camera, it was stuck onto the camera body, which must have rubbed off from the ribbon cable after several flights. I learned a lot from your video. Thank you.
Wow great video. Was searching for something different but decided to watch this anyways and was not disappointed. Definitely got my inner tinkerer excited. Though I don't hope to have to repair my drone ever. I think I definitely found a great source for repair if I do. Just dealt with DJI CS to replace a brand new remote that was faulty. It kept beeping as if they battery was low even though I charged til the lights turned off. I even tested how long it would last when I turned it on and it would just beep and in system settings say 1%. That 1% lasted and kept beeping for over 6hrs. Anyways great video, thank you very much for the education.
Foster McLaughlin I do not know if it's your problem the beeping happened to me that the control sounded without stopping and a red light in the corner charged up to 100 percent it turned it off and the beep was not removed I lowered it update thinking that it would be removed would not be I removed when I was about to buy another control look in the control calibration of the control moving the left and right controls at the time the beeper was removed was the lack of calibration of the remote control maybe it is the same problem that I had try it .
Thank you. had Exact same damage. Following video right now. And done. Noticed a slight difference in the gimbal cable from yours. The one replaced and the replacement had an unused (small, like a branch) connector before the connector going inside the drone.
Where do you get the cover on the back of the yaw bracket? That part was damaged on mine and need to replace that part as well. Not the speed control plate but the curved flat cover that goes up the back of the yaw bracket to protect the ribbon cable. Thanks for a great video!
Great video, helped me a lot! I was able to complete this repair and the gimbal operates perfectly now. However, I need to repair or replace the main gimbal circuit board (the one the SD card goes into). Are you able to repair or replace those?
ps. i will be buying your gimbal guard!!!! btw... i need a replacement electronic speed controller case, the backside of the yaw arm. do you know where i could pick one up??
Please help me out, I changed damage yaw motor on my phantom 4 and is perfect ok but the problem now is when power the drone and I switch to picture is perfectly OK but when switch to video to record it blur and noisy and have check all possible video settings but still the same, please what could be the solution?
I have the same problem with my drone. But also my drone doens't format the sd card. He reads but I can't erase it. Could you tell me if the problem is also because of my flat cabe?
I cut the motor ribbon cable by accident...one of the screws that holds the motor to the gimbal arm wont come out...since I now have to order a $62 motor can I get a replacement screw for this also?

How do I get a hold of you need to send drone in

About to replace the yaw arm and flex cable. Wish me luck!
Good job. It's working again!
Worked perfectly! Thank you so much for the step by step video!
one of the little phillips on the gimbal was stripped and too tight to take out...any suggestions to get it out?
watching your video and doing my repairs. Just found my yaw motor cable is broke. Is there a repair for that or do I have to replace my motor?
Thanks for this video. why the horizon is tilted in turns in some DJI gimbal? Any solution? Thanks in advance
Great video, helped me a lot! I was able to complete this repair and the gimbal operates perfectly now. However, I need to repair or replace the main gimbal circuit board (the one the SD card goes into). Are you able to repair or replace those?
How much would you charge for the repair? I have the parts, my obsidian arm and OEM cable.
ps. i will be buying your gimbal guard!!!!
btw... i need a replacement electronic speed controller case, the backside of the yaw arm. do you know where i could pick one up??
Hi, I changed ESC, Yaw and roll motor but still gimbal overload, and gimbal look down side way. what is problem do you think?
Please help me out, I changed damage yaw motor on my phantom 4 and is perfect ok but the problem now is when power the drone and I switch to picture is perfectly OK but when switch to video to record it blur and noisy and have check all possible video settings but still the same, please what could be the solution?
Is phantom 4 pro and phantom pro 4 plus gimble and flax cable are same .can i use phontom 4 pro flax cable and yaw arms in phantom 4 pro pluse
I have the same problem with my drone. But also my drone doens't format the sd card. He reads but I can't erase it. Could you tell me if the problem is also because of my flat cabe?
good tutorial man! 🙌🏻 can u do a tutorial of how to change the middle shell of the phantom 4 pro?🙏🏻
My camera is not centered. It looks slightly to the right. Calibration does not fix. How do I get it centered again?
you have a bad ESC gimbal board, you’ll need to replace it then everything will correct itself again. Good luck
Anyone else have trouble getting the screws out of the yaw/roll motors? I simply cannot get these out to replace the yaw arm on my drone.
If this easily solve then why people send gimbal to factory calibration?
Will this also work for the P4 ADV?
Thank You so much, I got it!
wonderful operation ..i watched it comlete ...thanks
Phantom 4 pro, replaced cable and yaw motor, camera always leans to the left (when looking at it) no signal, no display
let's go ahead
I cut the motor ribbon cable by accident...one of the screws that holds the motor to the gimbal arm wont come out...since I now have to order a $62 motor can I get a replacement screw for this also?
