I love my parrot, or did. Until it crashed at a lowly 8mph into a sapling tree. The impact, amazingly, managed to bend the gimbal L bracket just enough so that the camera couldn't freely rotate any more. Incredibly annoying because everything else works absolutely fine. I've found out the L bracket is made of an aluminum alloy that can't easily be bent back to its 90 degree angle.
I resorted to removing the casing around the camera which allowed the camera to calibrate on start up, but as you can no longer fit ND filters without the casing I needed to find a way to fit the front part of the casing on so that I could attach ND filters.
No matter what I tried I always ended up with too little clearance with the front case attached and had to grind it down at the edges to make more room, which worked....
Unfortunately during this process a back connector came free (see pictured) and of course now the camera doesn't work. The connectors has a tiny bit of plastic in the middle surrounded by lots of metal pins.
I feel annoyed I should have just stopped with the casing removed and left it as was but didn't think it would go this wrong... anyone any advice on what I should be able to do?
