[size=14.6667px]Hello,
[size=14.6667px]Sadly my X5 felt on the floor and bent the small pitch arm that has no cable in it...i was able to "unbent" it so the gimbal can inicializate. All works fine but the arm is not straight...

[size=14.6667px]This is the arm im talking about:
[size=14.6667px]

[size=14.6667px]Does anyone knows where to get this arm? Or should i ignore it?

[size=14.6667px]Thanks in advance.

Pics dont seem to show up, try re-loading. Try searching ebay for a scrap unit or may be lucky to find just the arm. You may cause more damage in the swap so if it works, might be best left alone.
Also as a heads up, to properly bend aluminum back, remove it from the gimbal, and use a heat torch, allows the metal to soften.

But all electronics need to be removed.
Not sure if it uses the same logic as the x3, but the x3 uses magnets in the motors for calibration, you may have moved one out of place in the drop.

The angle seems to still be maintained, you may have a slight skew but if it is still balances you should be all set.

Alternatively, I have a 3D printer and I make up unique parts like these. You can design a simple part and have it printed with a bit more reinforcement.
DJI doesnt always sell indiviudla parts but there may be a scrap camera on ebay here and there.

From the Pic i would leave it as is and adjust roll settings. Looks like the Roll arm from the pic. You may also have slightly skewed YAW as well.

I apologize for the late response since I just came back from my holiday, sorry to tell you that the warranty will remain the previous one.
