Actually changing the ribbon in a phantom is also reasonably simple imo. I start from the mainboard end and follow it around. The hardest part is to roll the ribbon beneath itself around the camera. However, it’s not that difficult once you understand how to do it. Also really important to make...

Thanks I've just bought one from iHot-store. It will take a while to ship here from China, but hopefully it will work ok. Will let everyone know how I go. Price was about $15AUD which approx same as l I cal ebay supplier, but two x Chinese ebay seller, so hopefully increase in price means...

Hi, very hard to understand.. But from what I understood I agree to start from gimbal board. Starting from camera means uh that you have to push the ribbon into one of the connectors without release the clip. This can result in damage to the ribbon. Normally to get to this connector the camera...

Hi, did you say you have successfully used ebay ones. Can you share the seller you used and I'll try them as well. Thanks

Hi, I'm in Melbourne. Yeah the ebay ribbon does feel thinner to hold in the hand. You can tell when you try fold it from side to side that the original dji appears thicker whereas the ebay ones appear more flimsy although they appear a bit thicker near the pin ends. I thought about the pin ends...

Hi, thanks for your reply, however I'm not sure it helps. Unfortunately there are heaps of sellers, but I need someone that comes recommended. That is that they have purchased personally from or know someone that had purchased from. Otherwise, I'm just crossing my fingers that I get that 1 in 10...

Hi all, I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times and is probably fixed with original dji gimbal ribbon. The issue is no one in Australia where I live seems to have an original gimbal ribbon in stock. I have been forced to purchase these ribbons off ebay. I bought one of the more expensive...

I like quick and short answers even if it's not what I wanted hear. Thanks again for your prompt rrplsy

Hi all, I have a leftover p2v+ controller after my drone flew away. I am rebuilding a P3S. Is it possible to use the old p2v+ controller on the P3s. The controllers looks identical to the p3s gl358wa. A few months ago I saw thus guy flying his p3s with the same controller as the p2v+, that...

Yes thanks, I think that is what I need

Hi, I'm trying to rebuild a P3S mainly from spare parts. The 2 thin black and grey wires have had their ends striped. The ends were UFI connectors. Does anyone know if I can buy tyred writes out better still maybe find UFI connectors I could attach to the ends of the wires. Thanes in advance

Sorry, I know this is very old post, but I wanted to correct the original poster. Inverse square law means if you double the distance, you need quadruple the power. So 4 times and not 8 times as originally pointed out. So going from 100ft —> 200ft requires four times the power if it truly...

I too need a new antenna for the P3S. Original parts shipped to Australia is like close to $50. was thinking of just getting a simple 6db 5..8Ghz aerial with the correct internal connector. The external connection will need some modification, but I can’t see why that wouldn’t work. Thoughts anyone?

Hi, I know this is an old thread. I have a P2V+ which has a faulty GPS whichI can’t lock into any satellites and I also need a cable for the older style of compass. I bought it second hand and someone had played with it before and changed things out. Are, you saying I won’t need the old compass...

Sorry but I don’t know what the advantage is in upgrading to the compass cable/landing gear in the eBay link. Is it it superior to what’s on my drone? Main reasons I want to repair cable. 1/. I bought this thinking it was a P3. So I may not keep it. 2/ the drone is currently not operational...
