Hi DJI-JS, Thank you for your help. The reply below is the standard bumf that I've already had on  ...

Got the same issue with this stupid gimbal thing. My DJI Phantom 2 Vision just sits in a box and rots because I cannot fix the gimbal (camera head broken off and cable severed). All the offers for replacement are 600$ wich is half the price of the unit. Can this be? Just looks to me you are ripped off by DJI by this spare parts. Following the price logic a DJI without camera should cast half the price? I can't find any DJI for this price. If I would have known this I would have definitely bough another product with spare parts and easy to change elements.  I am in Switzerland and so far I have not seen any service center or similar. Dom:@ P.S. The cable I have seen have been 290$

Mixstreme,

Tahoe Ed,

What about propellers? That is not a DIY spare part. Neither are prop locks. Nor camera and gimbal assembly. None of these spare components are listed online let alone available and we are in month 5 here.

It is unbelievable that propellers, the most vulnerable component are not for sale yet.

In addition, existing Inspire customers should be able to buy a spare aircraft.

DJI could actually make more money setting aside a few complete packages for parting out to existing loyal Inspire customers. I have already purchased plenty of spare batteries, remotes, and chargers, so I don't need an entire complete Inspire set. Had I known that Inspire was not going to make these basic components available as spares, I would have ordered two Inspires with single remote controllers.

It is very disconcerting that basic spare components are not available to Inspire owners. If this business practice continues, I will be forced to take my business to a manufacturer that makes spare components available to existing customers.

Thank you for listening Tahoe_Ed, and pass along my concerns to DJI executives.

Hm, my post disappeared, so I am re-posting...

Jesse, it did not disappear as I see both of your posts.  We have many parts in LA.  I was there last week.  The prop locks were sent to the dealers for distribution.  I have heard that there is some price gouging on eBay et al.  That is not from DJI and may be from some dealers that are trying to take advantage of the situation.  I have heard prices as high as $40 for 6 prop locks.  Our dealers are selling them at I think $2 for 6 plus shipping.  DJI sent out the locks to those that ordered direct.  I sent my set of prop locks to a lucky user that responded to a post for those that needed them.  Where are you located?  I can help you with props.

Tahoe_ED . I really need your help sir... I just need Part 41 .. I don't even need the whole part set, just the gimbal mounting plate.  I called LA and every tier 1 dealer... No parts.. It's just a little silly plastic piece and I've got the money to pay for it burning a hole in my pocket...
Other dealers are selling it for $80.00 but NOBODY has it.  Please help me out?  Aspatuck@gmail.com .

If this helps, I only need the mounting plate and not even the entire kit.  I'll pay pal the money or pay by credit card immediately. Just don't want to be out my drone for the tune of $100.00 shipping both ways plus repair costs and a week 4 turn around for a part that is user servicable  and I'm currently holding in my hands. Thanks for your help... Here's a pic.  Part 41 is the official DJI part number.

I need part 17 the Gimbal ribbon. Can I buy one or do I have to send in the Inspire 1 just to have DJI install a ribbon cable?
What would the cost be to have that done?

You can get the part on e-bay for 5 dollars and it's a super easy fix.  One of the members here even did a you tube video that included a gimbal replacement and swap out of the cable.

DJI option 6-8 weeks and you'll probably have to pay for shipping at least one way.  DJI option is not an option ..

Remember, nobody ever ended up contacting me about my part.  I had to go the ebay route too.
