After a mistake in one of my flights, my camera/gimbal broke and so I began looking for a replacement. I started reading all the threads of replacement and repair, etc. Eventually, I bit the hard bullet of buying a new DJI after careful thought of going with Dronexpert's solution that isn't even on the market yet. That brings me to post this thread to help others like me who need quick repair without confusion.

6.4 Binding the Phantom 2 Vision + and the Range Extender
If the connection between the Phantom 2 Vision + and the Range Extender fails, or one of them needs to be repaired or replaced, a camera and Range Extender binding will need to be performed through the DJI VISION App.
Camera replacements are plug and play and do not need re-binding.
I know this to be true because I recently had to replace a camera/gimbal and I didn't have to re-bind. I simply replaced the camera assembly, connected everything, and it worked. I was confused by the other posts saying you had to re-bind, and was searching for why I didn't have to and kept trying to re-bind only to find out that the MAC address in the hidden network was the same as the MAC address in the binding area of the app.
After my experience and reading the manual (thanks AnselA), it seems to only be a requirement if the binding is broken (from malfunction) between the RE and the Vision +, not a camera replacement.
