DO YOU BELIEVE THIS PIECE IS FOLDED AND DOES NOT SERVE?

Agree it looks totally offset,might be possible to put into a vice and gently bend with lots of care not to snap it,alloy very brittle otherwise get another,is that a replacement one,,it's poorly made.....and should add this is not folded,, it's a casting where alloy poured into moulds,,,,,well you ask,,was this what you wanted to know ?

Need a bit more information, is this from a new drone or one that has had a hard landing?? If it's new, send/take it back to the store and con Vince them you didn't prank it!!
As has been said, be VERY CAREFUL trying to straighten it as it is a casting and will break very easily?

If you’re in a bind, what they said. But the components that make up the gimbal spine have the ductility of glass, making the probability of bending it back to form very low.. You can try to use it as is, just be sure none of the motors or ESC boards get hot trying to compensate for the off-vertical angle.

In the meantime, order one or two new ones. They’re cheap and plentiful, and are common casualties in a crash.

But how did this happen? Dropped? hard landing? As freceiv ed new drone???

It had a fall of 6 meters but it was enough to damage 2 arms and the ribbon cable. he became entangled with a tree and then suffered only the camera.

I miss the error (gimbal motor overload), and it overheats when trying to stabilize. and thank you very much for your response, I will keep everything in mind.

I think I will buy the piece better, I know it will break easily when trying to straighten it. Thank you very much and your answers serve me

Ah, OK FelipeAlvarez, go for new! Good luck, and keep away from trees!
I presume you had the proper shock absorbers fitted - there's a picture in another thread of the camera attached by cable ties!!

yes of course I have 2 anti vibration kits, if necessary I would buy more of these rubber bands
