Ok ... we (I) had 2 crashes this week and the gimbal/cam took hits both times .... Both crashes were Pilot Error ... Just trying to get some feed back on my options ..... when I Purchased the Phantom thru Amazon they offered the "smart guard" accident insurance for 69.00 (3 years) so I got it .... Contacted SG about claim and was informed as of Sept. 2014 they no longer cover Drones ... I purchased the policy in Jan 2015 ...After some discussion they finally agreed to repair the cam but I'm pretty sure they will still refuse the claim saying cam is ok and the gimbal is not covered .... all this could take weeks if not longer ....
I can just replace the assembly but your looking at prob 5-700 for new replacement ..... however ... you can get a whole new P2V for less than 1100 now ....
Also.... the option to go to a different Gimbal/cam setup but with the odd P2V configuration could be costly and not practical ......
I have flown the phantom without the gimbal and all seems ok .....needs new landing gear .....
Open to Ideas ....... what ya got ???????? thanks ......mike
