I stumbled upon this YouTube video that I thought was quite interesting … it shows how he disassembles the devices, and how to repair some common issues (broken legs seem a common problem)
This is part one of a 2 part series

Be interesting to know how long it takes to change a leg

Obviously, timings differ according to skill, tools, etc.
- About 20 minutes if you buy a replacement with the motor and wiring.
- About 1 hour or more if you buy just the leg.
I’ve done both and would recommend paying extra to get the motor/wiring prefitted.
Thanks @clinkadink was guessing about that, don’t have a steady hand to solder anymore.
Will find someone that has next time as was shocked by pro drone fixer prices.

Yep, just had my M3P repaired under insurance ( broke the gimbal) by Heliguy in Newcastle. Total cost £296:50p ( including delivery back to me) I had to pay £50 excess. Replaced camera assembly and gimbal and tested the drone afterwards ( quick flight etc ) Had a quick fly about this evening and everything checks out. Had to calibrate the gimbal though
