(updated version) DJI Mavic Gimbal Motor Overload Fix - Repairing Ribbon Cable

Nice focusing on the camera!

muito obrigado o vídeo foi de grande ajuda mesmo passando 6 anos .

good topic but horrible focusing, & actually showing how the cable is installed

I’m so scared to do this

Hi my bro

Just ordered a ribbon to repair myself. Had a repair ticket from a repair shop but didn’t want to send it off for weeks only to be billed an outrageous amount for the repair.

who can do this for me in Qatar?

Is it me or is the gimbal mostly out of focus, unlike his fingers and thumbs? The install is a bit more complex than what is shown, the cable has to be folded in order for it to fit properly. At times the gimbal is flashed about too quickly. I so wanted this video to help me solve my problem. Nice try but no coconut!

sometimes you can tell where the ribbon is damaged by the upper part. ... where the T looks more like a y where it has the s curve .

How do you fix it how are you show me today you make it I make it I have a drawing to fix you have a deal with it

I crashed mine. all else works , but behaves the same. Wonder if this would fix 🤔. Thanks for the vid!

The flat cable routing was a little tricky, but my Mavic was camera ready again after the repair. Thanks for the video.

Thks four your excllent video i change the gimbal cable 3 days after start again the gimbal over loading what you thing it is please thks

Hi thank you four your video I have a Mavic Pro and now is Said remove the clamp the camera is hoverloding what you thing it is thank you very much

Turned mine on and smelled smoke...lol. Just ordered Mavic Mini 2

Thanks for the video! It worked for me!

Thanks for the video. Does the platinum use the same ribbon cable as the Mavic Pro?

You are THE BESTt guy!!!!!

I have done that 2 years ago, and putting the ribbon back is a hudge head twister... I have to do it again, and i am dreading it.. Thank for the video

I saw, when it start gimbal, it has crash to upper side. Do you have ant solution for this ?

Thanks a lot, the first video of the startup looked exactly like what's going on with my mavic.

Great video mate got me out of a right fix here in Corfu, lucky I always carry spares with me. I would like to add that I had flow it for a day in various locations on the island then last one of the day it was in the air and noticed the video jumping from side to side. Its never been crashed etc and although I fixed it, took me 3 hours even as an ex auto tech but the cable is a poor design. My Mavic Pro is only 16 months old this is 2020. Thanks again Pete from Corfu Tourist 8-))))))

nice.

hello I have the same problem but I don't know how to do it if you can help please

Thanks for the video, easy to follow and best part it solved the issue !!!

Mavic camera looks so feeble.

1. had the same problem
2. get a budget from DJI (~600€)
3. seen this video
4. get the flat cable (22€)
5. replace it (~2h)
6. problem solved

Was your camera also getting hot?

I had the same problem on the Mini... gamble was crazy after a crash, but I fixed it by taking out the battery and let it rest fir awhile.

Where can I pick up the parts and what is the name of the part?

I have replaced the ribbon (bought from DJI for 35$) it worked fine first two times I turned it on, after few hours in the bag, tried again and the gimbal problem returned. Do you have any idea what could it be?

hi there, excellent video, but from where can you buy this ribbon?

I tried. Now i have a new Mavic Pro 2. lol

I followed all the instructions and I'm still getting the motor overload error :( Any tips?

One of the screws is stripped (the one under the left panel). How would I get that out?

Best Video out there, Thank you this looks like it has fixed the issue. What did you use to replace the small globs of black glue that secured each end tab?

Good effort but the video is too blurry.

UR Hbibiyyyyyyyyy wallahiiii thxxxx yu save me 500$

Where can I get the tools and the part?

What tools do we need to operate this surgery successfully?

This ribbon cable repair worked for my gimbal, thanks! Now I'm having an issue where I don't have vision from the camera, I think a connector is likely loose. Do you have an idea of what connections could be the issue?

Hi mate, we were experiencing exactly the same issues with our Mavic. After watching your video we ordered a new ribbon cable (cost about a tenner on Amazon) and fitted it step by step how you perfectly demonstrated in this video. If you're not that tech smart with repairs, like us, just so you know fitting the new ribbon cable is a right pain in the arse! But after a frustrating amount of time playing around with it, getting it into the right place and screwing everything back together... OUR MAVIC WORKS! The gimbal is now behaving itself and there I was thinking I would need to take it to the DJI Store! You've saved us a huge amount of money and time, bravo my friend. Two years down the line and you're still helping people out, thank you!

Did that to mine 2 still doesn't work aw, thanks for the video though, absolutely hate DJI

Great video

I had the same problem as you. Thank you so much for the instructions. My ribbon replacement was a complete success.

Epic tutorial mate my Mavic is the exact same issue, I’m going to Scotland this weekend coming and really want it working for then. Best get my ass into gear ⚙️

Thanks

thank you SO SO MUCH YOU SAVED ME SO MUCH MONEY where i only spent 12 bucks for the cable vs someone fixing it which would of cost me 200 bucks thank you so much man i appreciate your hard work and patience towards making this video and guiding us through the process!

Mine is doing the same exact thing piece of junk
