Not at all, things are made to function not with repair or modifications in their thoughts.

I guess they have their reasons.

Even the shell they have made extra difficult to open.

Well that's probably to increase stability without the weight of 100 screws

Here's a good example video:

That's where I learned the trick.
Didn't think I'd ever need it until I crashed my P3A and contemplated how I'd get it fixed. Then a few weeks later had to replace a motor that acted up, something DJI missed in the repair but wasn't too noticeable right then but started getting a bit worse later.
Anyone know how to rebuild a 2312a so I'll have a spare?

i got rid of those plastic things and use zip ties. They dont pop of when crashing and allows freer movement.

Well, I am not as anxious about opening her up after reading all this.

Thanks Dan & all for the info and video links.

Does anyone know if it's possible to replace a damaged u.fl connector on the gimbal itself ? I think it's the male u.fl. Looks like it's soldered to the pad on 2 sides. It's microscopic. Talk about tiny. I think they are u.fl ? ipex connectors. Anyway, its slightly misshapen. I tried plugging in an antenna from my Frsky X8R (same connector) but it wont snap on.
