first flight crash

[TopDawg]

Ok crashed my drone on its first flight was soo excited that I got it off the ground and flying I forgot about a small bush/tree near by and it caught it on a branch. It fell to the ground on its side, broke the blade. However the gimbal ribbon has been pulled out along with the black and white wires. Also one corner of the gimbal base plate has snapped off. I am UK based so any help on repairs or a repairer that can help would be appreciated.

Based on your photos above, here are the replacement parts you'll need:

• Gimbal Mounting Plate (Amazon or DJI)
• Antenna (Amazon or eBay)
• Cable Pack (Amazon or eBay)

The individual cable wires look like they are in good shape, so you won't need the cable pack if you're able to slide them back into the connector.

This is a good tutorial on taking it apart.

The antenna replacement is a little more involved than just removing the gimbal.
