Introduction

This guide demonstrates how to replace the gimbal housing of your DJI Phantom 2 Vision. When completing the disassembly make sure to clean any residue that may be surrounding the screws before beginning, as doing this will ensure no over or under-tightening of screws may occur. Also, make sure to verify the size of the screws if you plan on replacing them, they are 6mm.

Note: The drone we worked on already had the propellers removed. However, you will need to remove the propellers before Step 4. Refer to the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ Propellers Removal for detailed instructions, as the process is identical.

    • The "battery" used in the image is for illustrative purposes only. Since the battery was missing, we constructed this one to demonstrate the repair process. The real battery will not stick out this much.
