Hi All.

I hadnever flown a drone until yesterday. I borrowed my borther's Phantom II Vision +. Piloted it and piloted it some more. Picked up pretty quickly. Then I got cocky and now I need a new ribbon cable for the camera assembly.

Can someone please point me to a reliable source? I've seen some on Amz, eBay but the prices flutucate wildly and I don't want to get stuck with a replacement that does not work.

Thanks.

That would not be easy as the Phantom 2 Vision Plus has been out of business for sometime. I would encourage you to do an internet search to see what you come up. Perhaps a place like BNHPhoto in New York City may know. You can also check here: http://www.dji.com/service/repair/centers

Thanks DJI-Mark. I found a few promising items on eBay. Tell me, there is no reason why I cannot fly the drone without the camera is there? I was wondering perhaps that the drone would be "unbalanced" or somehow affected in flight without the camera.

Thanks again...

The P2V+ will fly fine without the camera.  I'm not sure you'll have telemetry though.  If not, just be sure you understand how the AC is communicating to you via the lamps.  In other words, make sure you know when you have an adequate number of satellites, make sure you know when and where the home point is marked, make sure you know you're in ready to fly status, etc.

Agree with 4#. The aircraft performance will not be affected if there is no camera.

I found what seems to be a reliable source for OEM parts should anyone find themselves in this same predicament. I'm attaching a screen-grab as opposed to a URL for longevity.
