Welcome to the PHANTOM PILOTS Forum.

First question........was the replacement flex cable a Genuine OEM Part #85 flex cable? It should have come packaged in an official DJI smoke colored plastic bag/package.

If not, the majority of other flex cables by other knockoff manufacturers rarely work correctly.....and some do not work at all.

Yes it did come in a smoke coloured Bag but I ordered it from Amazon

That's ok. Sounds like a OEM DJI part.

Is the camera working now?

Have you done a IMU and compass calibration lately?

You may need to check the gimbal/camera settings in the GoApp as well.

OEM is 'Original Equipment Manufacture' part , manufactured by DJI. There are other flex cable manufacturers out there that copycat the parts and sell them at reduced prices.....most do not work correctly.

I'd recommend an IMU calibration as well as a compass calibration and restart.

Then check the gimbal settings in the app for normal parameters.

Besides the Smoke Colored Plastic
Is there any other key information?

The DJI Phantom 3 Standard Part #85 is the Flexible Gimbal Flat Cable (also known as a gimbal ribbon cable or yaw cable), designed for the 3 Standard model. It enables the gimbal's movement and is a commonly replaced, tear-resistant polyimide (PI) part.


Key Details About Part #85:

• Purpose: Replaces the flat flex cable that connects the gimbal to the mainboard to fix gimbal control issues.
• Compatibility: Specifically designed for the DJI Phantom 3 Standard.
• Material: High-quality Polyimide (PI) with gold finger contacts.
• Installation: Requires delicate handling; often sold as a "DIY" part, but requires technical skill to replace.

No. Not really. Sounds like it is a DJI OEM part.
