Well, problem solved. Looking at an online photo of the gimbal mount assembly, I tried three different ways to sandwich the PCB board between the square part that screws onto the baseplate and the part which locks onto the camera and finally got everything together somehow. I made a ridiculous hash of it, given such a simple problem. Like most drone problems if it ever happens again I'll be ready, but the odds are another confusing issue to confuse and confound as I try to get the bird back into the air again. What fun!
I did get some excellent YouTube advice from a fellow Inspire pilot about repairing a broken boom while awaiting replacements. The product FiberFix made a virtually unbreakable splint around the broken parts with no observable performance impact. I trimed a 1"x3" strip of the FiberFix, held it under warm water, squeezed the excess moisture out and wrapped tightly around the boom. I then used the included plastic film wrapped tightly around the FiberFix, and 15 minutes later was ready to fly again.
If it wasn't for my compulsion to have my Inspire looking new and pretty, I wouldn't bother with a replacement part given the cost and difficulty of its installation. |
