I have a Spark that has crashed a couple times now and I have 2 things going on:
1. I am getting a gimbal motor overload error. With the drone off the gimbal seems to move real freely up and down. But when powered up and hovering in one spot the whole gimbal assembly all of a sudden vibrates very excessively from side to side. It also doesn't seem to have the full range of motion up and down.
2. The main body is cracked near one of the arms.
So it is in need of some repair. I have watched some videos and I think I would be good doing the body replacement. Looks like a lot of disassembly but not to scary. The only thing that scares me a little is the soldering of the motors. Looks like a new body on Amazon is about $30.
The thing I don't know about is the gimbal, would I just need to replace the gimbal motor assembly - $11 part on amazon?
I am also curious to know if anyone has sent their drone into DJI for repair. Any estimate of the cost to fix these 2 items.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks!! |
