Has anyone here had any experience replacing the front rotor arm pivot/swivel joint on a DJI Mini 3? My wife wanted to fly one of my drones. She hasn't flown a drone in the past so I spent plenty of time explaining everything I knew. We kept the drone in cinema mode, went to one of our large open fields etc. However she became disoriented between trying to keep the drone in her line of sight and looking at the screen and hit a small tree branch. The camera and gimbal were fine but the right rotor arm joint was broken. I thought I ordered an OEM replacement joint but once it arrived I realized it was an aftermarket part. It was a tight space to work but I was able to replace the joint and reassemble everything. The arm moves correctly and the drone seems to operate normally. However the pivot joint/rotor arm assembly is not as tight and precise as the other side. I realize this may just be a quality issue of an aftermarket part. Does anyone know any tricks or tips for this repair?
I'm very careful and particular with my drones and I purchased the 2 year care refresh plan. I'm debating just asking for a replacement drone. Has anyone gone through the replacement process with dji? Has anyone used the "Express" replacement service? Any advice is welcome and thank you in advance.
