Hi,
Just had a small crash and DJI mini 2 went down from half a meter.

Is there any serious damage I could cause?

P.S. only gimbal looks a bit wierd.
Gimbal calibration goes fine, horizont seems to be fine and all movements of the gimbal. But, when I power it off and flip the mini top down, gimbal seems to colide with this walls.
Is this normal or I potentially damaged ruber holders?

I checked two od them, they look good. The inner(front ones) I cant really see.

That is normal as far as I can tell. Mine does the same thing. If you are in doubt, it is not very hard to remove the top cover and inspect. If you break the cover, do not worry much, they are cheap to replace.

Hi Stephen, as its not damaged anyhow I would not contact DJI support.
Everything works normal, there is no even a scratch. It was an indoor use. I save my care refresh for more difficult times.  You agree?

The DJI forum gods just give canned responses about repairing damaged drones. That probably does not apply here.

Inspect the props for any nicks/cracks, run your fingers along the edges, if you find any, replace it or them.
Make sure the motors spin freely and feel the same when testing by hand.
Make sure the gimbal is straight when in the air, even in 20mpg gusts, it should be straight whilst in a hover.

I think ya should be ok in the above issues as it was inside but the props need a once over to make sure they
are ok as its those that hit 1st

Hi Bashy,
Props were fine, one had a small scratch from the wall.
So, I replaced them all with new screws.

Gimbal calibrate always and it keeps the horizon.
Also it hovers good and up and down gimbal button works without problems.
No errors at all and no scratches on drone, except the one on already replaced props.
So, I guess I am fine.
I also used mini camera and inspected absorbers. None is broken on gimbal.
Thank you.

Ah, ya good to go, take ya 1st flight low for a few minutes, flying inside can be hard, especially through door ways and halls if they are close, the downdraft causes buffeting and can cause it to be a little erratic, only do it if you've loads of room inside...
