Crashed my phantom 4 last November. It randomly lost power (I think from a defective 3rd party battery). It sat out in the rain and snow for 4 months before recovery. It didn't crash from more than 40 feet in altitude, so I think it might have been stepped on by cattle.
Trying to decided if this is worth fixing. It still powers on and starts up (all 4 rotors will spin). The majority of the damage is to the housing (1 broken fan arm and 2 broken support legs). The Camera still works, but the gimbal appears to not function or move.
It doesn't look like these sell for much than $200-500 used anymore. Any idea how much I'd be looking at to send this off for repairs? Any suggestions for someone in the US who does this type of work? I'd prefer not to send it back to DJI. I'm going to just throw it away if the repair cost is more than $250
