First crash, end result not good

[Murray]

I've had Phantom 2 Vision+ for the last month and unfortunately I've crashed into a tree about 10-15 meters in air and has a hard landing, bending the Camera bracket and has nearly split the black thin power cable to the camera, any advice on what i should do on how to fix it, or past the point of not being fixed?

Buy a new one. Seriously, it is so hard to get parts and not too mention what they are charging for the camera assembly you can just buy a new set up for only a few more hundred dollars.

Best bet is to try to acquire a used one from B&H photo or simply purchase another brand new one. You can recoup some of your cost by selling the extra transmitter and range extender for at least $200+ on ebay and can also sell the extra AC adapter, extra camera clip/lens cover for $ on ebay. The entire crashed Phantom on ebay will most likely get you at least $200 as well.

If you do purchase new, make sure to get the extra battery for $60 (or is it $80?) option, as you can then sell that battery brand new on ebay for about $140

is the camera it self worth anything if the ribbon is cut and the camera bracket bent

 

[phantomguy]

based on completed ebay listings (search on DJI Phantom Camera), the answer is a resounding "yes".

One mans junk=another mans treasure

Would you suggest selling everything separate
