Which filters do I need?

Well it was bound to happen... Crash

A gust of wind came it pushed it into a tree about 20ft up. It was caught so I got help from a friend and we had a blanket under it to catch so once I released the landing gear it came down and hit the blanket but then rolled off onto the ground. One prop broke and the camera as you can see. Does it look like a minor issue/fix? I did test the drone again and it did start up.

I took it apart and it looks like the wires we cut when it fell. But it seems that I can just resolder the wire back on.

The good part is all 6 are still there.
You need to check for shorts between the wires. The insulation often gets cut on the edge of the metal slip ring casing, resulting in cuts that are hard to see. A close inspection might even reveal some that have some damage to the wire itself.
Other than that, yeah, it's a good bet for an easy repair.

Thanks a lot and I did notice on the black wire that there was a piece of insulation missing so I will make sure it's taped off properly.

Hi Chad. Don't do a insulating tape jod. If you are going to do a repair job do it right the first time. Get yourself some heat shrink tubing slid it onto the wires and solder the wires up. You then pull the heat shrink tubing down over the solder repair joint and shrink it with either the soldering iron or a heat gun. The tubing has an adhesive on the inside and helps with vibrations.

Just a word of advice make sure you get the props for the plus as they're bigger.
That camera holder looks much better than the yuneek one. I just drilled a small like in mine and fitted a red ribbon to it!

I did order the H Plus props and they should be here on Friday along with the gimbal cover.
