Introduzione

Vai al passo 1

This guide will show you how to successfully replace the gimbal assembly inside the DJI Mini 2 drone. If you need more detailed information on disassembling the gimbal camera to replace the camera cable or replace the gimbal housing, watch the video guide.

The Gimbal Camera is the camera that allows the drone to capture video and photos. It also can rotate in place to allow for multiple angles for the photos the drone can take. If the Gimbal Camera is broken or damaged this will prevent the drone from successfully capturing photos and videos.

This guide requires the use of ESD-safe tools.

If you have replaced the gimbal assembly, you will need to calibrate your DJI Mini 2 drone, but for gimbal calibration, you will need to use additional software.

this guide is missing so many steps its ridiculous

Ben Coleman - Replica

Hi Ben, thank you for the constructive criticism, but this is what happens when you make “creating a guide” a class requirement for a grade rather then hire professionals. I personally had no idea what I was doing writing this and just wanted to get my grade. So unfortunately, this guide will not be updated.

Thank you very much for your tutorial. I successfully managed to replace my broken camera assembly. Maybe you should mention how to insert gimbal back (not as easy as it seems). With the official part, you have to use pliers to pull the little rubber parts. And even with an official part, you will always have a warning message about calibration. We can’t do anything for this except sending the drone to dji. Even if the calibration is fine and the drone perfectly working, there is this anti self repair « protection »… Only a certified DJI technician/shop can remove the error.

Thanks for the warning about anti self-repair! Was debating replacing it myself to save using up a strike for more serious damage. I didn't see anything about that voiding the warranty though...
