How I fixed my Mavic Pro Drone after crash | Gimbal & Camera Repair Tutorial

1. Great video, helped me a lot. I replaced the video and the flex cable, but unfortunately I’ve got no movement in the gimbal or a video feed in the dji app, the app just says ‘camera sensor error’. I wonder if that means I need to replace the actual circuit board that the gimbal is attached to, or the actual lens. Any thoughts?

2. Motivated me to try and repair mine again. Had the gimbal overload warning after a fall. Replaced the cable, same issue. Replaced the camera, same problem but lost video feed. Maybe I should buy a new video signal cable and try again.

3. well i crashed my electric beautiful bird yesterday unfortunately and i think i have the same problem and my propellers are damaged so i will change that

4. OK, gonna be a long one, here…..
   My problem is that I have control over the gimbal (Mavic Pro), but I have no video feed from the camera. It flies OK, and all the controls (including the gimbal wheel) seem to be OK. The rear light, instead of being either a steady or at least flashing green is flashing red/yellow.
   I got it from a friend who had flown it BVLOS out to about 5 miles and while returning, the battery reached critical level and it attempted to land wherever it was at the time. He was able to override that and get it back to the launch point and land safely, but with only about 3% battery remaining. He said he was trying to disable the auto-land at critical battery while connected to his computer, when it just wouldn't connect any more (to the computer or the RC).
   When he gave it to me, I downloaded the DJI Assistant 2 for Mavic Pro and connected it to that laptop. I got the 'device connect' sound, so it seemed like it connected OK.
   The app recognized the drone and let me into the program, and I was able to do an optical sensor (front and bottom) calibration and it also let me do a Factory Reset (but there were no firmware updates shown).
   I disconnected it from the computer, powered up the RC and the drone, and the RC seemed to connect to it, and I was able to get the motors to run and the controllers seemed to be working. I took it outside, connected the props and powered everything up again, and after the RC said "GPS Mode", I did a takeoff to only head height, and the controls seemed to work the way they were supposed to, but as I mentioned, the rear light was flashing red/yellow instead of green, and I still had no video feed from the camera, even though the gimbal was reacting normally to the wheel (down/up).
   What else could there be wrong with it that's not letting me get the video feed.
   My friend DIDN'T crash it, he was able to land normally after that loooong flight.

5. What parts did you need I think I have the same problem

6. You should open start your own repair service for all this stuff you do. I use to fix computers at your age and iPods/iPads for a while and made bank. Broke my Mavic pro a little worse than yours back when it was $1200 but been too busy and lazy to fix it myself.

7. Great video. Any idea which capable could possibly control video recording? I’m having issues trying to switch to video mode after a crash. I’m still capable of taking pictures, just not switching to video mode. Not sure if it’s software or if a simple cable would resolve this issue. Any help is appreciated.
