So I ended up buying one from Amazon for $60 USD...A pricey cable but it was from DJI directly

Thanks for all the replies! I am thinking I will just sell it off for parts and buy a new drone...too much money to spend on a drone with very few value left.

Hey guys, novice queston, searched and didn't see great answers. My Phantom 3 standard camera is messed up...tried fixing gimble cable myself and no luck. Who do you recommend / how has it worked for you to repair it? Does DJI charge you for shipping? What if they look at it and it costs...

Ok update....put a brand new DJI Authentic part 85 (gimbal cable) and still have the exact same problem. Absolutely nothing with the camera functioning when I turn on the drone. If I go into the DJI app it also has the camera settings all grayed out as if it isn't even recognizing a camera is...

Sorry you are saying that removing it will ruin it or will make it work? Some misspellings in there I couldn't understand. Thanks a lot!!

Thank you! I didn't put the pins in while testing since I didn't want to rip the pegs off when it didn't work. I just bought the real thing from Amazon for $60 from DJI.... Man that's a pricey cable when the knock offs are$8. Hopefully this works!

Thanks for the reply.... So my original problem was that in mid flight the camera (which was working perfect) would do the wiggly thing and shut off (you know the wiggle in circles when it starts up). I looked around and many people felt it was due to the ribbon cable either being faulty or...

Is it possible that I just bought the gimbal cable (part 85) from a bad seller? I had him send me a 2nd and both are doing the same thing. Would a bad gimbal cable make the camera not move at all?

Interested in this topic as well, I replaced my ribbon cable with one off of ebay 2 seperate times, I have a completely dead camera now with the cables. I have no idea if its the cable that is bad (as it is not an OEM cable) or what the issue is....

So i was having issues with my gimbal on my Phantom 3 Standard disconnecting while in flight - I could land and then reconnect it and take back off but it would continually disconnect. So, I decided to replace the camera ribbon cable on it, and see if that was the problem. I installed the...

Has anyone seen that the camera signal gets lost in flight when panning the camera downward? When I tip my camera downward, the camera disconnects and goes into that spinning mode (like when you start up the drone). It then won't reconnect until I land the drone and restart it completely. I...

Hello, When I pan my camera on my Phantom 3 Standard downward, the camera disconnects and goes into the gyro mode of spinning all over the place (like when you start up the drone). It will not reconnect during flight until I land the drone and shut off / start back up. If I take back off and...

One additional thing, the guy who I got the drone from had added on the extender antennas to the controller. I do notice that no matter where I fly it, I get the warning of possible interference (I assume from those add on antennas?)

Thank you for the reply. I think I did turn on video caching - I will have to turn that off. Is that a known issue? I was able to see that my connection was still active in wifi settings, so I am not losing connection at all that way.

Hello, I have had my P3 for a while now and have been able to fly it to near not being able to see it without issue. The last two times out however when i get above 200 feet my video signal has cut off, and i no longer can see what is on the camera. Luckily i still have control of the drone...
