I had a bad crash today and bent one of the arms on the H3-3D to the point that the gimbal cannot fully tilt. I have tried to straighten it but the metal does not bend easily (unless it falls from a tree onto concrete apparently). The rest of the gimbal appears ok so I'm wondering if there is any future in sending it in for repair. I have ordered a new gimbal and would like to use the repaired on as a backup. I'm assuming that if repair is possible DJI is the only option.
If anyone is interested in how I caused the crash, I was flying a golf course using Ground Station which have successfully used for three other courses. However, this course is very hilly. I like to fly at 75 feet. Unfortunately, I was in a low area for start-up. Holes 1-7 flew great but hole #8 is about 60 feet above my starting point and the Oak trees behind it are about 30 feet tall. Bad combination.
Thanks for any help.
