I was flying my phantom the other day and brought it home. Everything was fine. But something must of happened during that flight because the nexy day when I went to fly, I took my phantom out of its case and notice the camera was basically in two parts. It doesn't look like any of the cables are disconnnected but i'm not sure how to put them back together. And I definitely cannot get video to my phone now. The camera is my favorite part about the drone, please help! Thanks

You are kidding, right ?
You can see by the amount of damage that the camera suffered a big impact, it did not just fall off overnight in your case.
You need to buy a new Gimbal / Camera unit or send it off for repair.

Is it possible you crashed at some point in that flight and you neglected to mention that! Just curious..
I concur with johnwarr, it looks fubarred!...
You might get lucky googling a video for repair but that is the only other option I can come up with...
Wait...there is one more!
Check out drone experts.nl or dronecamps.com for a  quick release kit for a Zenmuse gimbal and go pro,
Also check out Phantomhelp.com for other suggestions,
Good luck!

Kind of like to think of it as a whackronym, kind of a code...built using words and acronyms....
found under barrel evidently dead
not to digress but that camera definitely looks bad and the gimbal looks gobbled!
i tweaked my gimbal on my very first flight and fortunately only to the tune of about 1/32nd of an inch i think, no ill effects though the camera back does rub against the ribbon cable behind it at about the 45 degree mark ever so slightly but not enough to impede movement or affect video...I have been trying to figure out how to straighten it hence the interest in this post for sure...

Wow - about the only thing that didn't happen was the cable tearing.  When/if you replace/repair the unit and if it is with a new vision camera, I strongly recommend some sort of gimbal guard: UAVBits makes an inertia guard while KillerRC makes a great gimbal guard.

That unit definitely took a major impact, as stated above that did not happen in a case unless you did not put the DJI gimbal guard in and then flung your case around.
