Hi richmunton
you could try http://uk.rs-online.com or http://uk.farnell.com but there are many other industrial suppliers, try "Molex" for one, I don't think that getting the connector will be your biggest problem, it will be soldering the new connector to the circuit board that will prove the most difficult task..
Good Luck

I saw an Ebay listing for the circuit boards on the P3 camera...maybe that's the way to go?

I am watching eBay uk everyday[emoji106] but even broken stuff ends up at nearly £70 so as much as I would love spare gimble/ camera parts knowing my luck the only working parts would be the cable clamps[emoji33] was hoping that one of the many guys that repair gimbles would send me the clamp for a few £/$\€[emoji106]

OK, maybe silicon or hot glue? Even if a clamp is available, is it possible to refit one?

A replacement clamp should fit in ok with a slight bend,, but looking at the connector under magnification the top row of pins look like they need to be compressed down so I don't think glue etc would work[emoji27]
