I have an Inspire 1v2 with an X5 camera I have never flown it as it was bought second hand as a spare for a project which didn’t materialise. I dug it out recently to see if I could get it in the air.
Bench testing without props showed a faulty gimbal which on checking showed three of the wires in the ribbon cable to be broken.
So guys my question is does anyone know where i can get it repaired…?
I understand that this may be a problem due to lack of spares…ie Ribbon cable.
Does anyone know anyone who can repair my drone. I would really appreciate and hope someone can help me.
Thanks
Trevor
It’s worth trying Drone Doctor. UK based an apparently DJI approved. I believe there is a discount available for Grey Arrows members, details in the Members Only area: https://greyarro.ws/t/drone-doctor-exclusive-gadc-discount-code/59686

I’ve got a broken X5 (yaw motor broke), I’ll have a look if the cables any good for you.

That’s good of you thanks a lot. How much you want for it, if its usable…?
I haven’t got a clue about the condition, both of them look OK, but they’re still in the camera/gimbal. You can have the lot for £40 (no lens, that went onto it’s replacement). It worked perfectly before the GPS cable failed in the Inspire and it landed a bit rough into tall grass. No physical damage to the Inspire, but the yaw motor on the gimbal broke.

You can buy them via eBay:
OK! Deal I’ll swop you my address for your bank details. As soon as I get it I send you a fastback payment. Is that acceptable?
