I've heard that there are many other fellow Inspire 1 Pro Pilots who are having the same issues as myself with the gimbal breaking from slight impacts.  My question is, what are you guys doing for fast repair?  Thanks!

Although replacement of mechanical parts broken on impact may seem simple enough for accomplished hobbyist, the Zenmuse X5 gimbal is much more complex than just that. It requires sophisticated assembly and alignment, which - without detailed instructions - is next to impossible to perform. Been there, did that... I'll recommend sending the unit for repair ... In my case it took a week to get fixed gimbal back from California to AB, Canada. Expect 300-400 USD penalty, though ...

Thanks Mark

The parts look very well made indeed! I am not sure that I would want to tackle the repairs on a X5 camera. I think I would send it to DJI for repairs

I would concur that sending the gimbal in for service would be the best course of action.

Hello, I had a similar problem, I got the repair parts, but I also had to change yaw controller board, now does not calibrate, even if I work moving the magnetic nut! Does anyone know how to inform any application for calibration, for example python with repair?
