3DR Solo Gimbal

[Learning2Fly]

You say in the last paragraph that (I'm paraphrasing here) you've offered up two solutions, one being replacing the hdmi connector and straightening the arm...

A HDMi connector off the circuit board, it's not a cable. You won't likely need one of those, but here's a recent post pointing to them.

If just an extra stock hdmi cable, then ebay will likely be your source. 3D Relish makes a replacement ribbon hdmi cable, mixed reviews.

Better backup would be to buy an extra gimbal, $150 is a fair price for NIB today, they will dry up soon. It'll be a year or more before any full fledged diy version will be up and running...and still cost $150+ and effort. No diy gimbal will compare to the stock gimbal on a stock frame.

No... I use it. It's actually Solo #2. I am playing around with mission planner and swarming.
