Survived a big crash into the top of a tree... Drone is, amazingly, perfectly fine (asive from a broken propeller). However, rear leg snapped off and I cannot find it anywhere...

Any ideas where I can purchase one?

Thank you

First of all I am happy that not more damage occurred, but the Air gives the impression to be very robust indeed. I am sure that DJI support can send you the missing piece, just contact them.

Are you sure it's fine? The gap between the leg and the body of the drone sure seems askew... there's only a very fine, even gap on mine between the body of the drone and the leg.

Contacted, waiting for response.

Good eye!  I saw that after I posted the photo... Looked it over and, yes, there is no gap on the other legs and a small gap on this one... Whoops!  Let's hope this does not affect the operation.  I still do need a new leg though

Looks like the Axle Shaft is bent, send it to DJI, they won't send you the missing part.

I agree, did not spot this first.

After having spotted the gap now I fully agree with Buzzyone and recommend sending it in for repair.

Ah, great!  Sigh.  How much do you think they'd want for repair?

Looks like a possible crack in the body where the leg axis is also.  Slightly out of focus, so can't tell for sure.

WOW, very observant!  No, there's no crack there.

Doesn't look like anything snapped off just fell off or unclipped.

Yes. to did. But looks like there may be more damage than that. I'll wait for Support to respond and follow their instructions

I see in the picture you posted the arm seems to have dislodged arm have you tried to push it back into place maybe it just got knocked out when it landed on the arm?

That is precisely what happened. Way to fix it?

If you press it lightly or trist it lightly does it feel it will snap back into place?

No, nothing is "snapping back". I think something is slightly bent. No bother, just flew it and the craft behaves normal. Granted, its' in my apartment, but it flew up, stabilized, and was hovering normal. I think it's just peachy...

I am sorry for the crash. Please send the drone in so we can help to take care of it. Please contact our support to start a case: http://www.dji.com/support

What happened? How did you crash as it is loaded of sensors?

I suppose the tree branches were too small for the avoidance to sense them... Drone was performing one of the pre-programmed moves and ran into a tree. I tried to push UP but either the drone didn't respond or I was too slow...... Sensors look fine, though...
