To make a long sad story short;
I had - what seemed as a minor - crash after hitting a treebranch. After crash one motor wouldn't spin up, was just stuttering. Opened up the body and switched place on the motors (same rotation direction of course), and still stuttering on the same position menawhile previously stuttering motor now worked perfectly well. So I think it's the main board/ESC that is toasted. Nothing was loose inside the body.
So now I'm thinking of either buying a used P3 Standard and enjoy having double batteries and spareparts if **** happens again - or - ordering a replacement aircraft from DJI, this one: Phantom 3 - Aircraft 5.8G (Sta) | DJI Store
But what I don't see at DJI's site is if the cables for connecting the gimbal & camera is included. I imagine they should be fitted from factory and would come out of the aircraft's body for easy assembly. Like on the same type of replacement kit for P3 Adv/Pro (see attached image). DJI Couldn't answer my question after talking to 6 reps from customer service and tech support.
So, have anyone here ordered the same replacement unit? Was there cables fitted from factory? If not, is it hard to retrofit?
I would save 100-150 EUR on buying just the aircraft replacement instead of buying a used P3 Standard...
