I thought also that Mantis series is out of production and webshop, but Yuneec has started to sell it again: https://shop.yuneec.com/eu/camera-drones/mantis-g/mantis-g/

I got mine from Ireland: https://www.radiocontrolledshop.ie/yuneec-typhoon-h-breeze-hexacopter-drone-spare-parts-spares-realsense-dublin-ireland/9500-yuneec-typhoon-h-cgo3-mount-set-yuncgo3p105-6970298650031.html?search_query=cgo3+&results=3 They ship worldwide.

Finally got working and pointing forward. After changing slip ring cable(it was bit peeled) I gave up and bought a new camera (used-one). Price was decent 220€.

Just got notification email from Yuneec Europe that they have now G in stock.

Managed to get mine from this webshop: https://www.radiocontrolledshop.ie/yuneec-typhoon-h-breeze-hexacopter-drone-spare-parts-spares-realsense-dublin-ireland/9500-yuneec-typhoon-h-cgo3-mount-set-yuncgo3p105-6970298650031.html?search_query=yuneec&results=21 The shop is in Ireland and they ship...

Now as you told about that magnet, I remember when I was putting all the pieces together, one screw dropped and sensor magnet got it. If I remember correctly I rotated magnet to get the screw easier out. Maybe this is the reason. Have to try to get it right. Based on your experiments it might be...

Turned H on. It points to left ?

This trick(found from this forum) worked for me: before calibration use pan knob to turn camera to point forward, then start calibration, wait for it to complete, restart and camera points exactly forward. Hopefully you haven't tested this yet :)

Worked for me, thanks!

Guess what guys, I got it working! :) Well, it's tilting okay now, but camera points about 45 degrees to left. I'm quite surprised that motor and sensor leads are still all right after so much bending the frame and motor axle. And bending that axle was the key factor for having tilting to work...

CGO3+ has six contact pins and that CGO3 seems to have just three. Probably it fits but does it work, my guess is not.

As you said. it's bent. If I detached the sensor, I got the beeps. I did calibration and put it half way. Also checked from channel settings that it works as it should.

Yes, it's bent. I can see it by eye. Let's see if I can bend it back (without causing more damage)

I have same problem. Starts gimbal calibration but ends/halts after couple of seconds. The led is green. Other leds(red, green. blue) which are inside gimbal flashes constantly. I tries to continue (at least I think so) if I push it slighlty.

Thanks for reply. I have to learn it hard way :) I'm thinking that possibly second crash caused gimbal frame to bend enough to prevent tilt motor to turn it all the way downwards. I can feel some resistance when turning it by hand. About that gimbal calibration error, when it halts and then...
