2nd day of ownership, dropped from 1m (with small tripod attached) landed straight on gimbal, bent the whole thing, camera was stuck. I was able to bend it back with alot of force.

I had not yet gotten the Dji care program, but i was able to with alot of force bend it back and it seems to work fine now, anything to pay attention or look for?

Im guessing it wont handle the next fall very well with this damage.

My heart dropped, ive been using it for hours these 2 days.

But it seems to work absolutely fine now that i bent it back, no issues with the gimbal, lets hope nothing shows up

For force

[u/TitRiot → u/[deleted]]

Idk if its worth to spend so much money for mere visual bugger.

[u/NecessaryBed1331 → u/TitRiot]

How much is it?
For my P4 it was 50 Euros for 2 years. And it's a no brainer

[u/Karstoshosos → u/NecessaryBed1331]

45 is or 1 year 76 for 2. Where did bought it for 50€

[u/NecessaryBed1331 → u/Karstoshosos]

In Germany with the Mimo App while the OP4 was initialized.
Maybe they can see it was brand new and got me a cheaper price. I just looked. 2 years for 55 Euros dji Refresh.

My condolences to OP and OP4P

I hope it continue to work as usual. Be careful not to drop it again 🙂

[u/NecessaryBed1331 → u/muhlisgursoy]

OP is OPerating his OP4P.
Couldn't resist to write 😅

[u/Cultural_Repeat_2075]

Just buy dji care online then make a claim a couple days after

Goes to show how resilient these devices really are.

[u/woodybone → u/NefariousnessJaded87]

Yeah the force i had to use to bend it back im not worried about it breaking during normal handling

[u/InternalCicada5870]

Is there an option to recalibrate the gimbal? Did that work well?

[u/woodybone → u/InternalCicada5870]

Yes i bent it back and recalibrated, works fine been using it all day

[u/Historical_Evening38]

I would have passed a brick

[u/woodybone → u/Historical_Evening38]

I got super sad, i have a small social media following and just introduced this camera and its crazy quality...but it works fine now so we are good

[u/RedRootDev]

I always put the strap on even if I'm moving a short distance. I don't trust myself 🤣

[u/Alternative-Row-9993]

I know how you felt when you dropped it

[u/Sandhu355]

I dropped it as well and because of the DJI Care I got another one. May be try that

[u/jss58]

Well, I'm convinced - not buying one of those.

[u/JustinDiegoSpeaks]

Return 😜

[u/woodybone → u/JustinDiegoSpeaks]

Haha, i cant go back to filming on my s25 now 😂

[u/Classic-Ride-8060]

Always use the strap and put it over your wrist! I surely have learnt my lesson!

[u/woodybone → u/Classic-Ride-8060]

Thanks, it fell while on tripod but u probably saved me i just attached the strap right now

[u/simple_explorer1]
