Just totalled my p3

[SoaringSteve420]

So, I just wrecked my p3s. Only owned it for MAYBE a month. Video was laggy and I knicked a power line, sent the bird spiraling down at my younger siblings. Bent the gimbal, Broke a couple props, but it just happened and I'm still disgusted at the sight of the poor thing. Wondering if anyone out there knew what my next best move may be? I dont have dji care, so I doubt anything can be done but eat it, huh?

She went down in a freshly-tilled garden, the soft dirt broke a lot of the impact I'm sure, but there's dirt all over it. Landed upside-down on the props.

Wiping the dirt off and replacing the props is easy. I'm sure the gimbal can be repaired or replaced. Others with more experience than I have can weigh in on that.

I wouldn't put DJI stickers (or any other stickers) on the props. You're screwing up the prop balance doing that.

All advice taken into consideration, thanks.

My main concern was internal damage. I figured I would be looking at swapping the gimbal if of the motors were trashed, but if I'm able to bend the arm back into shape and the gimbal motors function, would that suffice?
Anyway, she fell from apx 40 ft, so I'm sure something was busted inside. Of course, I'm one to assume the worst lol.

Your title says it was totaled....doesn't look totaled to me.

Decommissioned, then? Lol the bird isn't flying.
