DJI Phantom 3 Pro - Camera crash Issue

greenline4 · Sep 29, 2019

Hi the Expert
My Camera has been crashed ( landing ) and some of the suspension balance element has been broken as well ( white ). I saw a lot of video of some small parts that has been replaced in the camera mecanism which resolved their camera issues... but i need to understand somthing before .
1. If a camera has a crash and its related to the grimble , is the camera supposed to power on and to show at least something in the screen ? or the camera depends absolutly on the grimble status ?
2. How to know if the camera is also dead or it s only the grimble ?

here is why i ask this .

see video of symptoms and signs of the issue I have ( seems to be physical + Gimbal Shake Error in the App + But I Can fly with nothing in my screen ( no video )

Thanks a lot

This is not Phantom 4k. You ill get confusing messages by posting here.

For P3X, you may want to look on the conceptual schematic here:

Camera to fried gimbal board bypass.

Hi. I'm sure this has been considered by someone more gifted than me but it occurred to me that it should be possible to find the video out feed from the camera gimbal motor multi ribbon and bypass the gimbal board to an external tx. it would save me mounting a sep 5ghz kit at 200g on the AC so...

If Ambarella works, you should see green light when SD-card is in the slot.

At first look, your issue looks like a broken magnet in one of arm motors. Replace it, or glue it if you really like having adventures.

Hi
First , i want just to clarify that my drone is a phantom 3 4k which means i m in the right category of posting ( mentionned Phantom 3 )
for The Shematic seems to be like a chineese language for me LOL but What I can tell you now is that there is no Green light when I put an SD card in the Ambrella.
Another thing , The movment of the camera in the video i shared has been resolved because it was only the wires behind the lens of the camera that did t let the camera moves properly ..
Now if you do not mind just to tell me if i still have no video .... is that means that it's something in the grimble or just the camera ( any way to check it )
Thanks again for your previous quick answer by the way

You are in correct category now, because your post was moved.

How exactly do you separate gimbal from camera in Phantom 3?

I don't mean it's impossible, you can separate it, at least in the understanding of how this works. I just doubt you can do it, without understanding schematics.
