Does anyone know if there is a cable pack available for the Phantom?
I had a crash a while back when I first got the phantom and when it hit the ground the camera support bolt broke free (As it was supposed to I guess) and the camera plugs yanked from the bird. One of the cables does not plug in with a snap it just inserts. The other for some weird reason snaps in. I think wasn't thought through since once the camera pulled down and reached the limit of the length of the cable it pulled the wires from the plug instead of simply disconnecting like the other. I was able to "Fix" it with some effort but I don't fully trust it. Without this cable plugged in I cant control the camera and I get no telemetry.
Has anyone else experienced this and is there a cable pack available for purchase? Any help is appreciated.

Depends on which cable you need. A quick google search yielded this result:

Thank god not the ribbon cable. There are two cables that decent from the bird and insert into the camera. Its the smaller cable. 5 pin I believe. The one that clips in. Like I said it controls the pan of the camera and when unplugged I get no telemetry data.

And it's not one of these?

Ahh! It does look like it would be one of those. I guess I should have searched harder before I posted. I figured with all the talk about how hard it is to get parts for these things that it wouldn't be easily available.
