Wish me Luck - P4P Gimbal repair

Traded a guy about $450 worth of stuff for a P4P with the camera completely separated at the broken Yaw arm. $125 worth of parts on the way.

That’s what I was thinking! Hoping that when it all goes back together it’s all good, but it flies and came with everything.

Came with everything? Even better! you can sell it for alot more when fixed or keep it. (Keep it)

Keep it’s the plan! Unless I get a Mavic Air bug...

Got the Gimbal Cable yesterday, still waiting on the arm and yaw motor, but bench tested just to confirm the camera even worked... and it does! Phew.

Moved to Colorado thirty years ago. Sure do miss the Luling City Market barbecue. Best of luck with that repair, the P4P is an amazing bird.

My experience is that you will need a yaw motor. Be sure to save the old yaw motor as you will need the casing holding the magnets. Also watch my video.
