Excellent video, thank you very much!! We were able to bring my son's drone back to life after an accidental crash the day he got if for his birthday. Glue only lasted so long and now, thanks to your video, it has a brand new arm and it's as good as new again!

My HS720 unexpectedly malfunctioned after just 2weeks. Didn't come in contact with any obstacles. I contacted Holy Stone and fortunately they sent me a brand new replacement.

Thanks for this. My new HS720E was flown less than 2 minutes before I had to kill the motor due to a mishap. It fell maybe 4 feet, and that was all it needed to break. I would return it, but I accept the fault. I'm chalking this up to a $300 learning experience. Thanks again.

It was great to see how this repair was done as I have two broken arms. I can now do this repair in confidence myself. Thank you for creating video for all us do it yourselfers!

[@teddavid9310]

OK major major thank y for this fantastic video. Like you I crashed my drone and thought it was curtains. But after watching your video, I ordered the part and replaced the rear left arm did, all the soldering, took it outside, armed the rotors and bingo everything works perfectly. Again thank you for this clear, concise, and developmental video which is superior in its instructional value. We should all chip in and get you a present :-)

[@grantmaz123]

Can't say how much I appreciated your video. Gave me the confidence fix a broken arm myself.

[@marciotavares4]

Thank you it worked well for me.

[@forresthalley5981]

Great video! I appreciate the description of screw length and placement. Very helpful. Thank you!

[@PLHamp]

Great video, worked like a champ. The tricky part is getting all the wires stuffed back far enough that the case goes on and clicks in place. The nice thing about the design is the solder pads are big enough that you don't have to go through the hole to get a good joint and connection. Just bend the end and touch it. I bought a broken spare drone for par parts that now that I know I can do this, I will fix it and have an operational spare. Thanks!

I appreciate this information. One part that was skipped is about

Great help. Tank you for explaining so easily to understand

Offering a general comment to those that may benefit from this arm replacement in the future. After owning my 720E for several months and 20+ flights, the last two resulted in "fly-aways" and crashes, the final one resulted in a broken arm. In hindsight, I believe the prop had begun to loosen; it might have come completely off and resulted in the crash. My advice is to check your props to ensure they're well-fastened prior to each flight! Good luck to all, MP

Howdy, Brother! Just a quick thank you for sharing this valuable repair lesson. Fly-On, Cowboy!! 🤠

[@grillmann]

Thanks for this video. I had exactly the same problem, and followed your instructions. New arm is installed and working as good as new. Much appreciated

[@jimg8070]

thank you. after several months, I finally broke an arm. footage was great, bird was smooth and steady all day mostly tripod mode stuff. Switched to high speed holster flying. I misjudged by 10'. battery ejected upon impact, fortunately, it did not go into the lake. by about 2 feet !. I have 3 drones to repair now ! DE22 camera came loose, and HS700E motor needs to be checked after a hard land. time to order an arm !

This is an awesome tutorial. I had to replace the exact same leg on my 720 after I flew it into a tree. 😆 🤣 😂 I was very surprised to find it broken as well. Ordered a new leg from Amazon, watched this video & fixed it myself. Only thing I did different was ,I soldered the wires to the clipped wires instead of at the base of the board.... worked great! Thank you so much! I am a new sub to your channel..

[@Rick-lm9py]

Fantastic video. Very helpful

[@MrUnclemoat]
