Repairs.....

I zigged left, when I should have zagged right. Impact with a stone chapel ensued, followed by impact with the ground.
Two arms that won't lock up, landing gear that won't lower, and a gimbal that is jacked up somehow, so the spherical camera part is rubbing against the bottom of where it mounts to the drone. That's just what I can see. Ugh. I'm afraid repairs are going to be in the "total it and buy something else" range.

The camera you just bend back down. (Carefully)
The arm latches are about $5 each, and take about 10 seconds to install. Problem is, I need one and can't find them in stock anywhere.
Landing gear MIGHT come unstuck if you power up, bind, turn the drone upside down, and cycle the landing switch a few times. Replacement, if required, is a 5 minute job each, but the assemblies run about $25 to $40 on ebay.

I doubt it is totaled. The worst part will be the camera, but WTFDProjects suggestion is the place to start.

I do not like the tools this guy uses

Ever been in an operating theatre? There's some pretty barbaric things in there, but it's all in the skill!
Do find parts getting harder to locate? Seems no fresh supplies are forthcoming.
I suppose it should be of concern that some parts have been unavailable for 12 months now.
So...the spring clips on the damaged arms look different than what I see online. It looks like the part that extends down from the main part is broken off. Is that what happens? Is that piece like a shear pin that breaks off in an impact to save damage to the drone?
