SOOOOOOO  Disappointed that my order from Davesmotors, the only officially available ribbon cable has been refused due to selling out very very quickly..... (THIS ALONE SHOULD GIVE DJI AN IDEA OF THE DEMAND FOR SUCH PARTS, but I'm sure you already know.)
Not only was this based in the US, but by the time I had information here in the UK and ordered, it was still to late.

Despite the fact that I have had numerous conversations and contact with various "subdue" or support personnel, not one of them gave me a heads up on this supply of ribbon cables....  I have a feeling that we are not in the loop on this forum and we really are here to be pacified.......

CAN ANY PERSON FROM DJI SUPPORT PLEASE ALLOW or ARRANGE FOR ME TO BUY A RIBBON CABLE here in the UK..........
If not....
CAN YOU PASS THIS REQUEST TO SOMEONE WITH THE AUTHORITY TO ACTUALLY MAKE A DECISION OR AT LEAST NOTIFY YOUR MANAGERS OF THIS ONGOING ISSUE.

I don't want contact with any more support staff via emails with me having to explain AGAIN, no more false promises and no further lectures on how its highly complicated and requires immense and sensitive calibration that can only be done by DJI  etc.....

I do not want to send my Gimbal to Germany unless you are going to accept the cost of any such repairs that are not required in full......

I've seriously had enough of asking nicely and going round in circles whilst still having to explain to every member of staff on the way round....

THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN EASY AND SIMPLE THING TO FACILITATE AND ONLY ENFORCES THE VIEWS OF MANY CONCERNING YOUR SUPPORT STRATEGY.


GOT ONE AT LAST>>>>>>

Sounds like a good money spinner, if you can come up with the goods.

Hope you can - mixstreme is getting rather annoyed

Its not really, DJI made it clear from the start that in their opinion the camera / gimbal was not user servable and would only be made available as a complete unit.
Most dealers have them in stock.

You have to buy the camera and gimbal as a unit, all because of an almost incomprehensible engineering decision about how the two are attached to each other ((press-fit in soft aluminum, on a device that hangs from the bottom of a 2.5 lb flying model).

$679 to replace? And the only option is to replace it with the identically engineered part?

Hmmmm.....odd marketing plan.

Hi Guys,
had a look at the pics of the flat ribbon cable and to be honest its not something I can assist with after all, I misunderstood I presumed it was the grey coloured standard ribbon cable that was needed and not as per the the pics,
So very sorry guys I cant help with that cable.........

Hey talk2t, sorry mate if I offended you in my reply comment I didn't mean to imply anything at all mate I should selected my words  better before I typed it, cheers  Phill x
Kind Regards Phill  sorry.

I ran across this website in the process of researching a similar issue.  If all else fails you might consider it a Plan "X" www.usdronerepair.com (look at the bottom of the page -- italics are mine)
"We charge $80 to fix the gimbal and install the ribbon cable. You must supply the ribbon cable or we will purchase it and bill you for it."

You should frame one, with a certificate of achievement....and a big cheesy smile.

Thanks for the effort Phill, much appreciated and I cant wait to hold it.......

How about a photo of the label with the part number / bar code so the rest of us can scour the web for something more specific than just "DJI ribbon cable"
