I crashed my Phantom IV. My fault. I have found or four locations that say they do repairs - I will need to ship it to someone. The repairs will likely be significant. Camera broke off, but seems to be intact... 3 of the 4 rotors won't go ready on a power-up. Body seems to be intact. I would appreciate it if someone with first or second hand knowledge could recommend a place... Thanks in advance. Roger

Just send it to DJI, they will either fix it or send you a refurb at a reasonable price. I have done this 3 times with excellent results.

Sounds like you had better luck with DJI than I did. I sent one in that spent 24 hours submerged in fresh water and they told me 1500$ to fix it. I couldn't understand why they wanted to charge me full price for a drone and all the other stuff that goes with it to just fix or replace the drone.
 
I have repair a lot of drones that look like yours. The camera is the easy part. My guess is a new yaw motor and yaw arm along with a new ribbon cable. The drone is hard to say without a screen shot of the errors. From the photo I don't see any damage. They are a tough bird.
