I flew into a tree some time ago. The drone fell down and all props got destroyed. Worst of all; the gimbal did not work. I searched the internet for a solution and found the the ribbon probably got destroyed. The I ordered a new ribbon on Aliexpress and in the meantime I searched for videos on UA-cam that explained ho to do it. Then I found your video. I studied i carefully and decided to follow the instructions step by step. I started the procedure a couple of hours ago. And I made it!!!!! I have right now performed a gimbal calibration, and everything seems to be OK now. I am really looking forward to the next flight! THANK YOU FOR THIS FANTASTIC AND INSTRUCTIVE VIDEO!! Whithout your video, I doubt I would have been able to succeed!
Thank you!
I came across this video and it FIXED my drone!
I don't know what problem you had, but mine was that the gimbal could not be calibrated. I could not move the camera at all.
$15 + 2 hours of work saved my drone!
Yes!! My gimbal was overheating and just kept going up and down. Ordered the ribbon on Amazon and thanks to your video, I replaced it today. All is fine & good: no errors and I can fly again! SUPER!
this is the simplest and most comprehensive video that I ever watched about mavic pro gimbal!!! great video... I just broke my mavic pro 1 gimbal....
Thank you! It works! My gimbal was limp (no pun here) so I ordered the ribbon cable on ebay, followed your thorough introductions and it worked like a charm. Saved my Mavic!
Thank you so much!!!!! DJI wanted to charge me $130 dollars, I took it upon myself to identify the problem and came to a conclusion I needed to replace this ribbon. Paid $8 dollars for the ribbon and only took about an hour of my time. Glad to say my MAVIC flys like new again :) :) I subscribed
I had a motor overload and my gimbal moved everywhere causing a choppy video.
where did you got the ribbon from ?
Thanks for this tutorial. Got my drone back up and running in 3 hours!
Thanks for the amazing instructions! You just saved me $250 on a repair with DJI! All it cost was $10 for a new ribbon and 3 hours of my time - well worth it! Keep up the great work!
Very informative with step by step instructions.
I look forward to these videos. Keep em coming!
Thanks, very informative. I do not need to do a replacement, but now feel confident if I have to.
Great video, great instructions. Helped me a bunch, 5 years later.
AWESOME help!! Got my mcviv back up and running...saved me a fortune :)
Could you please share the link of eBay for buying ribbon, please
Thanks for your guidance! Replaced both the gimbal ribbon and the video cable and everything works like a charm again.
Thanks for the tutorial, it helped me to change the vibration plate. Appreciate it,,
Thanks to your video I had my drone up and running within 48 hours of an accident that ended up breaking this cable. Thank Amazon Prime for one day delivery, and you most of all for providing this walk through.
thank you! just finished installing the $10 cable. Took about an hour but took my time, and amazingly my drone is back in order! My drone kept giving gimbal errors and over heat errors, after a while in storage. Probably got banged around alot during moving with no clip in it to stabilize the camera, but that cable fixed it!
Thank you so much for doing this video. I bought the replacement cable and it worked perfectly thanks to your thoughtful plans. Really appreciate it
Thank you so much! Took a bit longer than I expected but your step by step process helped so much!
HUGE THANK YOU! My Mavic back to life after watching your tutorial :)
Thank you so much !!! Racked my brain even with this tutorial but you took your time to explain things very thoroughly
awesome video, helped out big time with all the tips and info about screw sizes and pre bending the cable. my gimbal is all fixed now. mine was shaking and getting very hot and finally got the overload error message.
Thank you so much, great DIY. Getting the ribbon to the first gimbal connection was tricky, I ultimately shoved that one in first but did not connect it until the whole elbow-bendy bits were in first. First time at it didn't work, I checked over the replacement cable and it looks like a 90degree bend was slightly ripped. Got a 2nd cable and boom, everything worked as expected. You the man.
Just wanted to say thank you for this video, saved me £300! I could actually see that part of the original ribbon had bubbled up slightly, not sure why but the new ribbon has done the job. Nice one!
Thanks so much for taking the time to post this video. I really appreciate it and now my drone is working like new!
I thought I lost my $1300 drone but turns out all I need is an $11 part from Amazon and this video. Thank you sir
Thanks for the video, it helped me a lot, especially the detailed instructions on the tricky points!
Thank you so much for making this video. I recently bought a used Mavic Pro on Facebook Marketplace. When I got home, I noticed the camera was really loose and I realized it was missing the two screws that attach the camera to the mounting bracket (from a previous repair, obviously) and the ribbon broke when dropped the drone while handling it. I got the cable from Amazon for $11 and was able to follow your intructions to replace it. Saved my day! I thought I had made a very expensive mistake.
Thank you for this detailed video, about to see if my mechanical hands worked.
Thank you so much for this great tutorial! You just saved me hundreds of dollars!
Thank you for making this video, worked like a charm!
Really good demo here, thanks for sharing it!
Thank you very much. I repaired my Mavic successfully with your instructions!!!!!!
One question... where do you get the spareparts?
Thanks for the info, and the Dirk Diggler music was a nice touch 🤙
Thanks for the help!!! Did it first try with your instructions, and it works again!
Amigo segui todos os passos e resultou na perfeiçao ! Um grande OBRIGADO!! Sem, este tutorial nao conseguia
Thank you. Your advice worked like a charm. A little intimidating at first. But once you get going, you will figure it out.
thank you for this video. it was very helpful.
Watched several "How to" videos on youtube showing the ribbon cable replacement. This was the only one that went through the steps carefully enough to actually help me accomplish the task. And successfully I might add. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this.
Next time try this one ua-cam.com/video/d26K0ZrObkI/v-deo.html
@@Lola.Owlace Thank you, but there will be no "next time". After a total flight time of 28 minutes I experienced my first failure. Yes, I had the gimble lock in place. Hiked 12 miles into back country and 6000ft elevation change only to have it fail on me due to gimble cable. DJI product is highly overrated and way too fragile for field use. Frankly, in my opinion, they make junk. I'm a 35year electronics engineer and I'll never own another DJI product. Basically, they are china made junk.
@@nogrey Yeah I agree but we damn like those flying toys you know..! Better chances in helicopter hehe
Amazing video, thank you so much for waking me through that. (PS: that background music was killing me lol like a faint alarm in the distance lmfao) Happy Droning !
Absolutely helpful. New camera has been put in and fly again
I'm having to do this fix now and seems pretty straight forward.
Great video...thanks a million.
Thanks for this video mate! It has me up and flying + recording again!
Outstanding tutorial! Thank you very much for your help and your time. This is what UA-cam was made for.
Thanks for the great video tutorial, helped me out perfectly. 👍🏻
Perfect! Had problems with overheating and malfunctioning gimbal, this sorted it! Thanks a lot
Thanks mate very insightful, you pointed out everything to watch out for .perfect backup and running😀😀😀😀
Thank you very much for the tutorial. You made very easy to understand and you definitely gave me the courage to repair my drone.
Thanks A LOT man :) Awesome help for my lovely DJI Mavic PRO Platinum !!!
thank you very much. I have now fixed my drone camera using this exact guide. Bravo...
That was an incredible video. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
Extremely helpful, thank you!
Thanks so much. With this video I was able to replace my broken ribbon with no problem!
Great video. managed to replace the ribbon cable with your help. thanks.
Thanks dude made it so simple and easy I fixed my mavic first time thank you.
2020, your video is still helping. Local shop was asking 160 to fix the cable.
I fixed for 6$ + some grunting
Thank you
Saved me over £100 in repair costs by doing this myself thanks to your video - Thank you so much!
Great video! Fixed "gimbal overload error" after Mavic had set for nearly a year. Thank you!
Thanks so much for "the trickiest part"!!!! I was already disparate to install it properly! Now I can fly!!!)
I started getting the dreaded "gimbal overload" message and I learned online that the ribbon was the likely culprit. Your video saved me hundreds of dollars by doing it myself. It took me two tries, as the first ribbon I bought had a connector that wouldn't plug in properly and ultimately broke off. The second ribbon plugs gave me no problems. The video was great, but wasn't really clear on the routing of the new cable and I probably didn't route it as cleanly as the original. Nonetheless, I powered up and everything works properly. Thanks so much for making this video.
Thank you! This was very helpful.
Thank you very much! Very good review!!
Thanks a lot mate!! I bought a replacement Gimbal on-line, which was defective. I didn' realize that I could just change the cabel (mine had snapped) watched your video, took the cable out of the new faulty gimbal, put it in the old one, now I am back in business. Wooohoooooo!!!!!
Perfect! thanks for the tutorial my gimbal is working perfectly now!
Awesome video thank you a ton!
Thank you very much my friend for such valuable information, and clearly showed everything thanks
Excellent video!
Thank you so much. Your video was excellent and allowed be to change out the cable easily. It took about 45 minutes from start to calibration.
Fixed gimbal overload, thanks for the help!!
Exact reason I'm here Dario, before spending mad money on sketchy parts..can I ask what tab and what to look at for gimbal data?
thank you so much, mavic is back again !!!
Great tutorial, fixed my gimbal overload error :)
Thank you!! Worked perfectly
Hey, thanks for this I watched yours and another video and between the two I was able to fix my drone.
Very good information. Thanks for share.
Absolute legend!
Like most here, I was getting the gimbal error. Bought a cheap cable off Amazon, followed your easy-to-follow steps and it's working well again. The camera is slowly turning to the right, but I'll do another calibration and I'm sure it will be fine. The fact its working again now is amazing.
Cheers!
I am getting the OVERLOAD error as well so I purchased the ribbon off Amazon. But I know nothing about drones, do you know if this is why I cannot calibrate the drone? Any help would be appreciated. I have not replaced the ribbon yet.
Awesome video man thank you so much! 😀
I am extremely thankful to you for making such a detailed video ..... you helped me so much i can barely explain .... My mavic is super functioning !!!!!! Thank you .....
Thank you for the awesome tutorial
best video and presentation I ever saw. great job
Thanks, could not have done it without you.
Brilliant video. Thank you. I managed to fix my gimbal issue for £13 instead of the £100s it would have cost me. Thank you!!
Holy wow. you solved my problem. Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for your vidéo ! my gimbal now working again !
best instruction tutorial yet! Thanks.
Thank you for sharing,helped me a lot...
Thanks for the video! Very helpful. Lol other than almost going insane from the beeping sound in the music.
Next time ua-cam.com/video/d26K0ZrObkI/v-deo.html
Thanks for your video 👍
Yo that's amazing how quick you're able to make that repair
Great tutorial! Thanks!
Thank You very much fir this video, It has saved me a lot of time, effort and money. Great discription :D Thanks again
Thanks! Saved me £250 and a lot of waiting! :) Fairly easy surgery up to the bends in the new ribbon, I had to give myself a little time out :D (liked and subbed)
Finally crashed my Mavic Pro and went hunting for a repair video that really took me step by step and this is what I found... - The INTRO caught me off-guard, been a few since I've seen it. - GREAT VIDEO! - Extremely helpful. - Definitely subbed! - Whenever you're ready to update the intro - shoot me a msg.
Very useful, thanks!
Hope I never need to replace my cable, but it's nice to know there's a video on UA-cam if I need it.
Thank you for the clear info. I'm going flying again! :0)
just had my first crash (minor crash) and my ribbon broke at the gimble. I have good camera feed and zoom but no pan or tilt. I was nervous about trying to fix it until I saw your video...good job, very detailed and easy to understand.
did you ever try the repair yourself? I'm in the same situation you describe and am tempted to try myself
Cort Hitchens I did... I was very careful with no distractions and it worked out, however it is very scary and complex.
@@mackofalltrades9317 Ok thanks for the response and good to know it has been done by more than the video-poster. I guess I'll order the ribbon cable and attempt it myself too. I have a mavic mini but it's just not the same as flying the mavic pro.
Cort Hitchens Just make sure you have plenty of Time and quiet, it took me about three hours, mostly because I did not know what I was doing and I had to keep referring to the video. If I had to do it again I estimate my time would probably be closer to an hour.
Fixed my problem! Thank you! Crazy how one small ribbon can be so disrespectful.
Thanks! worked for me! WOW!! YOUR VIDS ARE AWESOME!!!
CRISIS AVERTED !!!!
Great Video!! fixed my drone and saved a bunch of money thanks a ton
Thanks. I used this and 2 other tutorials on UA-cam and finally got it!
With mine next time you should be fine ua-cam.com/video/d26K0ZrObkI/v-deo.html
helped me immensely. ty
Thanks, mate worked well
