Mavic 2 Zoom: Mavic 2 Zoom - Accelerometer ACC0 deffective

Wed, 12 Aug 2026 01:46:30 -0700

Hello, after a crash, the Mavic 2 Zoom give me an “data error message” on accelerometer ACC0 (see attached image).

I think that the accelerometer is now defective and I wanted to know on which part of the drone is the accelerometer.

If it’s on a PCB part, I think that I will be able to change the PCB myself.

Sharper Image Mach X drone: Where to find spare props (propellers)

Mon, 03 Aug 2026 04:32:20 -0700

Where to find / buy spare props / propellers for the Sharper Image Mach X?

Kings Drone, who seems to be the only one to sell spare parts for a lot of these drones, does not sell them. They seem to be impossible to find!

DJI: Aircraft bound to another account….

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 01:04:58 -0700

Hi,

I purchased a Mavic Air 2S from EBay but I’m getting an error on the DJI Fly app that says

“Aircraft bound to another account. Change account and try again.”

I tried to reach the seller and no response. Is it possible to “unbind” the Air 2S from the previous owners DJI account?

DJI Mini 3: DJI Mini 3 top shell stuck and getting damaged during removal

Sun, 05 Jul 2026 18:35:38 -0700

I am trying to remove the top shell of my DJI Mini 3 to retrieve a screw that fell inside. I've been following the repair guide using plastic opening tools, but the clips are extremely tight and won't release. The plastic housing is starting to get damaged/chewed up from my attempts. Is there a specific starting point or a trick to popping these clips without damaging the drone? I'm stuck on Step 1 of the shell removal. Any advice would be appreciated!

DJI Mavic Air 2: Jello/gimbal motor overloaded/off center camera

Sat, 23 May 2026 15:48:34 -0700

I have a Mavic air 2 with a few issues after a crash, all related to the camera gimbal.

Before repair:

Jello (tried new OEM props, no effect)
After flying away for a couple minutes, error 40003 (gimbal motor overloaded) would appear
Footage looked fine besides the jello, but previous owner reported the gimbal would sometimes tilt as well
Gimbal looked slightly damaged, but everything was intact and all axes rotated freely, both manually and when stabilising the camera

Repair:

Replaced gimbal (including mounting board and dampers), but kept the original camera module and cables which did not look damaged
Recalibrated gimbal using python

Issues after repair:

Jello (even before arming, which I didn't know was possible)
Error 40003 soon after powering on, much sooner and more consistently than before
Gimbal is tilted and not centered
DJI fly gimbal calibration stops at 10%
Error 40011 (gimbal calibration failure) (I believe this is normal after using the python method to calibrate the gimbal, but it should still be fully functional)
