After owning a Mavic Mini for one day, my friend's son crashed it into a tree and broke the left rear arm. My local drone shop wanted 150$ for the arm, and 150$ for the repair. After buying an arm for 40$ off of Amazon, it took a grand total of 35 minutes to replace the arm on my own, even having never used a soldering iron before. I highly recommend this video to anyone trying to do a repair by themselves, as the tutorial was incredibly useful. Thanks DJI Drone Service.
OK. I MUST SAY THIS . HELPFUL VIDEO. HOW EVER NOT EVERYONE has the tools needed. I used a mini flat head to take shell off. The left rear side was being stubborn. Well you see there's a black sticker where the battery goes in and to tiny white dot stickers each side. If you look a tad further on left you see a black sticker from top to bottom. That's what's keeping it from separating. !!!!Wrong!!!!! Not sure what I cut but it's not a sticker . So I suggest In the demonstration that you should let the watchers know there are cables wires that run along the side of the drone as you' disassemble. be careful not to cut or tear one.. spend the $150.00 that way your not in my shoes saying now what.. So I give this video a 4 out of 1 through 10... I think it's very important to give As much detail and information Especially working on a $300 or $500 drone .so beware Red white Gray black wires are Running along the sides just like the part you bought to fix it I'll be careful .
The bottom body cover is just magically off!! This is where I was surprised when actually doing this and wished the video didn't slip this critical step as getting to the antenna wire is a hell of a task.
Great video, very hard to do it, took me almost two hours to get it done, i wish you explained more the process of removing the lower shell. Awesome video. Thank you very much
condor19891 yep flys like a champ i have no experience soldering but i got it fixed just heat up the solder enough to disconnect the wires u can use the same solder to connect the new ones good luck pal 😊
Yesterday I bought a mavic mini an hour ago I tested it but while when it was pepping the battery is low it gone far away from me automatically and crashed with the trees and falled on the ground broken front arm I was so mad and sad but when I saw your video I became little comforted cus I need a buy from arm and hopefully fix it thanks alot
Perfect tutorial, first time drone owner, crashed and snapped front right arm. Ordered new arm from Quad King for £24 inc postage and followed this tutorial to replace, test flight done and drone airworthy again. thank you very much for this tutorial :)
READ BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT: I broke my mavic mini because I'm a dumbass. I flew it into a wall when I was flying it indoors. I cracked the top right arm and for a week or two I just had it taped it up. It flew fine but it looked tacky and I'm sure it would have been draining the battery. Its been 5 years since I soldered and I was 13 years old when I did. This was the second most expensive purchase I've ever made but looking online I found that the damages wouldn't be covered under warranty and dji would charge me up to £100 to repair it(no dji care) . Being a broke college student you can imagine how scared I was to attempt anything. But after a bit of contemplating I decided to do it. I bought this soldering iron kit: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07WVVV7SP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_y00.Eb5WZJJZN And it's pretty good value for money, there's a lot of stuff inside, I'm not sure about the quality -as you can tell I'm no expert. I also bought a spare arm from Amazon -now out of stock- and altogether it set me back ~£50. The part that took the longest for me was getting the top shell off because I was very weary of breaking it. But take your time and keep in mind that you have to apply more force than you think. Soldering was hard. The contact area is really small and at one point I thought I fried it because the soldering iron caused a smoky look on the PCB. It's also really finicky, but the two "tweezers" in that kit came in really handy. Connnecting the antenna wire back was time consuming as well. You have to make sure it's perfectly level before you press down. All in all the soldering is not the prettiest but it worked. It took me around 2 hours, I went REALLY slowly. Watch this video as well to help with some parts of this video that he brushed past: m.czcams.com/video/E7hdTZ2BUSU/video.html I would say if you have the money, send it to the pros. But despite being a complete novice, I was still able to get it working and it looks as good as new -on the outside anyway. I would say go for it, be patient with it and watch this video multiple times and anytime you encounter difficulty with it, stop and search around online for other tutorials and teardowns. Good luck :) P.S. Thanks for this video,it was really helpful and saved me some money, as well as giving me some respect for my drone and a very basic understanding about all the components
Love the vid, helped me to be comfortable in rebuilding a broken arm. Seems the tricky part is repositioning the spring in the arm, rather than use any tools , just place the spring in the old arm, twist the top hinge (ie the bracket with the screw holes) , no risk of damaging the spring as I have seen else where.
you mentioned early (1:12) on that after the replacement, you'll need to reset the drone. Can you elaborate exactly what you mean there? I've just finished a front arm replacement on my Mavic Mini, got everything put back together again but then when I turned the drone on, the LEDs flashed green/yellow/red, and then held on a constant Red, which im reading is a critical error light. Idk whats going on....the drone pairs fine with the remote, and the firmware is all up to date. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks in advance
would like to know how u change motors and arm on the gimbal on a mavic pro 2 ,the jaw arm motord and how to change the connectors in those gimbal motors.
Hey thanks so much for making this video. I was able to follow it and fix my mini’s broken front rt wing with minimal effort except that you made prying off the cover look so easy but I struggled with that a little. Your tips for removing and resetting the arm spring were invaluable and made it a breeze. I had tried to glue my broken mini’s wing back on and it held for a while. Then I found it broken again when I took it out fly it one day. I had got an extra wing but I thought the process for changing it would be too much to take on. I tried to weld it back together again with super strong epoxy with no success. So then after a very brief search, I found your video and now I’m up and flying again like it was straight out of the box!
Is there a way to test to findout if the motors are bad or if it's the board ? Have 2 Drones and on both the right side motors are not working . Could I simply take it apart, remove a ledt arm and test it on the right side of the board ?
I own a mini se and Im trying replace the arm but for some reason my solder iron is not melting the flux. Im using a cheap one. Please tell what kind of iron I need I am trying to budget.
Hi there I have. A problem with my drone , a few months ago i crashed my drone , and I tryed to fix it by replacing the wings and the motor itself but it didnt work the drone starts to move to one side once i turn it on it looks to me like it doesnt have enough potential in the back right rear part of the drone its the (dji mavic mini )
My drone crashed and landed in a puddle 😢 and after drying it and trying it out again it just seemed the back right motor wasn’t giving full power so I bought a replacement and it’s still doing the same thing (not giving full lift power) so it just flips itself. Any ideas on how to fix this?
at 5:19 you mention rotating arm bracket but it makes no sense, mine never seems to be in 'that sweet spot'. Not sure exactly how you turn it or what I am missing. Didn't see a video specific to this process. Thanks in advance!
Still having problems after the rear arm was replaced. The drone won’t take off. It keeps going straight back and the one motor looks like it’s being underpowered. Could it be the circuit board?
I crashed my drone Friday ordered the parts and a soldering iron they both come tomorrow. I have never soldered before I am very scared to break my drone. Do you have any tips?
How does it work for sending my drone to you guys for a fix? And how much is it for a repair because I bought it from best buy. And how long does it tke for me to get it back?
My Mini2 flipped over when landing on a place with some sand. I think some sand particles got into the rotor housing; the rear blades don't rotate freely. It is a bit "cloggy" when pushed. What is the best thing to do here? Can I take apart the rotor to clean? Or is replacing the whole arm the best solution?
I have a Problem. After changing the front left arm according to this tutorial, the remote connection got unstable. Since I live in Germany, Sending it to you ist not suitable for me. Do you have any Idea, where the problem might be?
stupid nerd ? Possibly the antenna wire not connected properly. I’d say take it apart and double check that’s it’s still connected as it comes off easily
Any idea on fixing the ESC connection error? "Repairs required. Contact DJI support for assistance. (Code 30085)". Crashed into fresh water for about 2 min. washed and dried in rice 2 days. Now turns on and connects to app but wont let me take off showing that error on the app flying screen. Light on drone stays on red. Any ideas what it could be? Thanks
My drone went down in salt water (Atlantic Ocean) and was recovered 4 days later up on the beach. I cannot remove the SD card or the battery. Would it be worth my while to send it to DJI to see if it can be repaired and my SD card extracted? Thanks
What if we swapped the mavic mini 2 arms on the original mini ?? Will the mavic mini have more stability due to the powerful ESCs ?? This question is just stuck in mind since when the mini 2 was launched. Please reply !!!!
Great video thank you. Is there a way to put a off switch on the gps so that we can fly in authorization zones with no issues? we can just turn off gps.
For some reason when I go to put the arm bracket back in it goes the opposite way and the arm doesn’t lock in the open position and only wants to shut. Can anyone help with this??
I got to make this repair, as soon as Amazon's delivery has come there . I have failed at makeing same repair different Drone, could I cut and solder wire I screwed Last replacement soldering, any type of solder I need to get and heat shrinks ,I would love and appreciate a slow replacement video If I do wrong there is No more Flying..... Thanks This helped me see some light about the big repair job coming up! Thanks So much
Just picked up DJI mini 2 flying it in my kitchen for the first time it hit my stove 3 feet from the ground and it broke the left rear wing pivot screws hold it into the body I have not seen any buddy else pulling screws out also it cracked housing
Hey man, great video.. I recently crash and broke the front arm.. I replaced it and the drone flys normal, but my range is next to 0 now.. loses connection and video becomes laggy and freezes. Any idea on where to look? What to fix? Thanks man
@@finalbmotion thanks for getting back with me, I ended up taking it back apart a while ago and yup, my antenna wire was just sitting there not connected..
@@maverickthemutt I'm repairing mine today also, I will upload a video, and it came on my mind the antena wire. But hope yours is working properlu now. :D
Both videos I have watched regarding the mini when removing the top shell I noticed pieces breaking off the drone and laying on the mat. Not too good for "professionals", pretty careless with the prying of the ribbon connectors, one slip and there goes an smd off the board, or worse have the power button metal retainer break off
Great video I jus had a crash today and I jus ordered a new 3 way cable that connects to the gimbal and the drone as well as a new camera had a meeting with a tree and it won any help about the gimbal and installing and removal would be nice 👍 thanks 😊
It seems to me because the Mavic mini has no sensors that it could probably benefit from a swap to a like size race drone CF frame. Perhaps it would save weight a little and gain an extra few seconds of flight time but most importantly gain some strength.
Thanks for the vid, managed to replace my front arms, they twitch when I power them up, but dji assistant 2 wont recognize my mavic mini anymore, neither will the dji app. Any ideas on what I could do?

what would be the price for a front arm replacement? I thought I would do the repair/replacement, but it seems to be mpre tedious than I'd like.
It seems to me because the Mavic mini has no sensors that it could probably benefit from a swap to a like size race drone CF frame. Perhaps it would save weight a little and gain an extra few seconds of flight time but most importantly gain some strength.
