@NathanShantz i hung a shotgun shell 3 ft under it as a moving target. One bullet hit the metal casing on the shell and transfered momentum to the drone, causing it to flip upside down, tangling the wire that was holding the shell into 2 motors, and breaking an arm falling from around 3M. The motors kept spinning even upside down in the dirt...... Air blew and tested it with the broken arm and it still flies just fine, but I need to fix the broken arm. It's not completely broken off.

@NathanShantz
@NathanShantz Жыл бұрын
So the max height that a DJI drone can go to is 1640 feet (until it stops the motors). I'm not sure if it would stop recording or if anything else will shut off if it goes above a certain height. If you are going straight up you should be able to transmit the signal for a while but I don't think you could see it at 100k feet. It should keep recording unless dji stops that past the max height. What if you used a gopro or something like that?

Not sure if the new arm comes with it already attached. It would probably save you some time getting the whole assembly. Hope this helps.

Hey bro, so I snapped the arm lock piece rite, I got a replacement but the arm won't lock back in place when folding out
@NathanShantz
@NathanShantz 3 жыл бұрын
So the black piece with the 2 screws that holds the arm in has a spring in it. This spring only rotates from 0° (folded in) to like 150° (folded out). It actually has enough force to go to 180° but is physically locked at the 150°. This is how it locks. If take it out when it's folded out and put the spring back when it is folded in, it will not be able to lock in the out position. My guess is you took it out in one position and put it back in the other. Try putting it back in the other position or you can use some pliers and rotate the spring. Hope this helps!

@@Jimmy_Cavallo thats good that it's solid. Maybe the arm is bent down a bit so it has less upward force on that arm? Are the propellers bent?

where did you find your replacement arm ? I'm after a motor. this is a great video thanks. I watched a few before this and they sucked

Thanks! I'm assuming you can get the motor but its probably easier to just get the whole arm assembly. I got mine from Amazon. amzn.to/3Oj2xmg You can probably get them cheaper though on Amazon or ebay. Look up OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) with your search so you know its made for dji. Do you just need the motor or is the arm broken too?

I have the mavic mini 1 with a broken arm, is the arm the same as the mavic mini 2? it could work?
@NathanShantz
@NathanShantz 2 жыл бұрын
The arms are the same but the motors on the mini 2 are a bit better. I don't think it's a problem using a mini 2 motor on a mini 1 but using a 1 motor on a 2 might not be that good. You could also swap your mini 1 motor on to a new mini 2 arm.

Hey there, I replaced the leg, but the drone wouldn't fly after. The new leg seems to be lacking torque, i.e., it seems to be too weak to take off, even though it does rotate :( any ideas why it could be?

@NathanShantz Жыл бұрын
I haven't had this error before but doing some research you could have a bad ESC board (where the motor wires solder too)Before looking into replacing it, I would double check your soldering and make sure the contacts are clean and wires aren't shorted. Use some alcohol and a small paintbrush and clean around the pads and try again. Good luck!

Are the mini and mini 2 arms interchangeable?
@NathanShantz
@NathanShantz 2 жыл бұрын
From what I've looked up the mini and mini 2 arms are the same size and will both fit on both drones. The motors on the mini 2 arms are a bit better than the mini's. I don't think the performance would be effected with a mini 2 motor on a mini, but the mini 1 motor on a mini 2 might have a bit less flight time. I would try to find the correct arm for your drone but they will both work! Hopefully that helps👍
