Where to find a gimbal main board

[Daniel NZDF]

Hello guys, I am in the process of fixing up a DJI phantom 3 standard with a broken gimbal main board. The gimbal is slightly bent, and the drone won't pair to the remote because of the gimbal damage. Does anyone know where to source one?

Many Thanks,
Daniel

There are a few options where gimbal parts are available here in the US, but since you are in New Zealand, shipping costs may become an issue.

Have you tried the 'local' dealers in NZ ?.........like Drone Depot in Auckland, or the official DJI repair shop DJI Ferntech in Christchurch? They may have some dusty old P3Standard parts lying around.

Other options would be to contact local drone pilots in your area using the 'Regional Meetups' section of the Forum......or maybe the 'Classified' section of the Phantom Pilots Forum for available parts.

Since you mentioned the gimbal arm is bent, there may be damage to the roll motor, and the roll and pitch boards also......including the ribbon cable.

Either way, good luck.......

"broken gimbal main board"
Is this the board that would I like to call in the gimbal plate?

Thanks for the help @RodPad and @captainmilehigh. I've decided to replace the whole gimbal, as I have just found an entire gimbal unit for a reasonable price off Ebay. DJI phantom 3 gimbal.

Sounds like a good plan.

Wow, I guess that's a good deal, with shipping?

Yeah, sure is, considering most other gimbals that I could find were above what I could afford.

Crap, anyways checking back in going to hit the bed quick.
It is that block diagram I shared, a lot of info there, where the WiFi comes from that gimbal base, to the main board, but the remote has do three things?

There is a post, guy flying one these with out that gimbal base and no landing gear.
To reconnect to different remote he needed that Gimbal Base hooked up

Yes, he would not have any info coming back.
Flying like any old school RC stuff.

But if he was to let off the sticks.

It will still hover if had GPS.
