Hello all! I just created an account on this forum for this issue, but I hope to continue to use this site as it seems to be full of helpful people.
I have a Phantom 2 Vision+ 3.0, I've owned it since about the end of May, and have never crashed it. Today, I lost my "Good Pilot Prize" by crashing it into a tree while filming an ice blockage in a river. It crashed about 20ft up and tumbled to the ground, camera was still on and battery was slightly ajar when I retrieved it. Leg screws were pulled out of one leg, which I managed to fix, but I have a bent gimbal arm now. Can somebody clue me in on how to fix it? I'm thinking I'll try to remove the whole camera assembly or maybe just the gimbal arm, and then try to straighten it myself. If I had a 3d printer I would print another arm, but as it stands I don't want to buy a little piece of metal for $100.
