DJI Mavic Pro: Where to buy replacement parts

Thu, 30 Oct 2025 00:48:30 -0700

Crashed my Mavic and broke an arm off, damaged the main body in the front, and broke off the gimbal entirely. Anyone know where you can buy replacement parts, or will the official repair service be my only option?

DJI: Aircraft bound to another account….

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 16:52:58 -0700

Hi,

I purchased a Mavic Air 2S from EBay but I’m getting an error on the DJI Fly app that says

“Aircraft bound to another account. Change account and try again.”

I tried to reach the seller and no response. Is it possible to “unbind” the Air 2S from the previous owners DJI account?

DJI Phantom 3: Controller battery won't charge

Fri, 24 Mar 2023 13:41:02 -0700

The battery in the controller won't accept a charge. When I plug in the charger I can turn the controller on, but it won't charge, even when left plugged in for hours. Also, when plugged in and turned on, the red light next to the four white lights is illuminated. I'm guessing the battery is bad. How do I replace the battery?

DJI Mavic Pro: Where I can buy a service repair manual for the dji mavic pro

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 20:22:43 -0700

Crashed my mavic for the first time. Accidently hit the return home button and panicked. Long story short hit a tree and fell 30 feet. Gimbal is erratic and front vision sensor error. Just wondering if there was a service/ repair manual to refer during the repair.

DJI Phantom 2 Vision Plus: Camera Gimbal Repair and Replacement

Tue, 27 Mar 2018 08:31:05 -0700

Day one, Flight one... My Phantom 2 Vision+ took two spills and lost its pretty little camera. I'll be capable of working the metal back to fit, but the ribbon will need replacing. I've already ordered the part via ATK Drone Services, but a detailed disassembly of the camera gimbal unit would be very useful. Thanks!

DJI Mavic Mini: Help with lost mini resistor

Tue, 17 Jan 2023 15:50:35 -0700

Hi.

I managed to lose a mini resistor when I was replacing the gimbal cable after a crash with my DJI Mavic Mini...

Could you help me with the information about the resistor? It's the one on the outerside by the connector of the flat gimbal cable on the mainboard. I've attached a picture showing it.

Regards Lars Jonsson.

DJI Phantom 3: Phantom 3 Professional crashed vertical down

Sun, 05 Sep 2021 00:45:52 -0700

I was flying with strong GPS signals in wide open grassland with no trees, building & towers. Within 7 minutes of flight, the Phantom 3 started to spun 360 degree and with no control it crashed vertically down. The crash resulted to bad damage on the shell body, Gimble arm broke with camera ( although camera looks fine), landing gear crack and props got destroyed. The firmware V 1.2.6 was fully updated, compass calliberation, and home point was done as per routine procedure. Still, it crashed.

Can somebody advise me whether this is a manufacturing defect or Pilot error? Any idea is there a vendor who can repair?

DJI Mavic Pro: dji maveric camera wire replacment

Thu, 28 Oct 2021 23:20:36 -0700

Hi, I broke my gimbal off my mavic pro. I tore both my ribbon cable and the wire cable harness. I have the necessary know how and tools to make the repair and I found the necessary ribbon cable and replacement vibration absorbing mounting plate. However, i cannot find the wire cable harness with metal ends that connects the camera to the board for sale anywhere. Do you have any broken cameras around that may have this cable on them that hasn't been damaged? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

DJI Phantom 2 Vision Plus: Remove Gimbal Clamp Error

Tue, 24 Jan 2017 14:53:17 -0700

I have had my drone for about a year now. Today I was flying it in one location perfectly fine, shut it off, drove to a new location and turned it on. On my phone it had an error that said "Remove Gimbal Clamp," as well as a beeping sound that came from the gimbal. I did not have the gimbal clamp on and no matter how many times I took the battery out or put a new one in, nothing worked. What do I do?
