I appreciate this is an old post, but I just wanted to post an update from my research into fixing X3 and X5 gimbals. First off, if you do attempt to take one apart to fix it, make sure you index the nut beneath the gimbal PCB, as has been noted in the past. A quick and easy way to do this is...

Hot on the heels of my success in ressurecting a DJI 15mm comes the tale of an Olympus 12mm f2 prime lens. This lens came as part of a crashed Inspire Pro - both the Inspire and the X5R mounted to it took the brunt of the impact. I wish I'd taken some pictures of it. I don't have any, but...

Thanks Ed., it's a good point you make. Truthfully, I'm not expecting it to last but I'll keep my fingers crossed :)

I was given a DJI 15mm lens a while ago, which, together with it's X5 camera had been for a little trip in the sea. Predictably, trying the lens on my Olympus PEN EPM1 test mule didn't do much - just a black screen on the display, but at least it didn't complain about the lens (I have a smashed...

Ah nuts. That's bad luck. Probably the best course of action. At least you'll have peace of mind getting it fixed. I've spoken to USDroneRepairs a few times - Jeremy is a thoroughly nice guy and fixes a lot of DJI kit. Being in the UK I've not used the, myself but he is helpful and clearly has...

Hi Paul, Sorry to read about the crack and props to you for taking it apart and finding the issue. BTW I believe non-oem yaw arms are available to allow a self-replacement now. I can't help with the nut issue - I think that horse may have bolted as from what I've read, the shaft/nut would...

The SSD arrived today and seems great. Here's it unboxed and a quick test mount in the SSD reader and Exporter program, under Windows.

Very true- and there's the other one about a fool and his money... :D I'll report back once it arrives - it's not scheduled to do so for ten days or so. If this had been a private sale I'd have been slightly doubtful but this is an established RC shop and DJI distributor. They've been an ebay...

Just in case it's of interest to anyone.. I've just secured a new DJI00X5RAW-PART2 521GB SSD for an offer of 349 GBP (plus 12 GBP shipping) it was sold by an Italian ebay RC shop with 100% feedback. They have 4 more in stock. I'm not affiliated with the seller but wasn't certain if I should...

I don't like to cross-post (I've put something in the classifieds) but as this is a request for something folks might not be considering selling, I wanted to make sure it had visibility in the right forum. I have a heavily damaged X5R that is out of warranty and which I'm investigating...
