Any suggestions? All help needed, all ideas and hints welcome!
Thanks in advance!

You did that inquiry about the fix a FIMI A3 inquiry. How did that go or did you just give up?

I'm not sure what to do.
I do repair and fix stuff, but this I don't know... I have watched a dozen of YouTube videos about this FIMI A3 gimbal fixing, googling around.

If it's the cable then the cable price (varies) + effort is, eh, doable but will it work? And this compared to some newer drone set is not that big.
I just find this DJI Mini 3 (DJI RC), price 780 €. That would easily replace this FIMI A3 for me.
You see, the price difference between repairing FIMI and buying this new one is not that big.

BUT, on the other hand, my trusty old FIMI A3 works great and does the job. Except the gimbal. Two batteries, dozens of spare blades, good picture quality, long enough range. Kind a sad to throw that away, isn't it?

Hi can you still buy the FIMI A3 , I would buy a new one and keep old one for spares , as you said it does the job and you have batteries
