Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a new gimbal and camera or just a repair?
If only a damper, the cover or one gimbal part is damaged a smaller repair may do. If the camera has no image, the housing is broken or the gimbal will not power up, a full gimbal and camera replacement is the dependable fix. We confirm which before starting.
Will the replacement camera match the original quality?
Yes. It is the same gimbal and camera assembly made for the Mavic Air, so resolution and frame rates are unchanged once fitted and calibrated.
Does this include the lens?
Check the option name for your model. Where a listing says the lens is excluded, a scratched lens is a separate part and we quote for it before fitting.
Can I add other repairs to the same order?
Yes. Gimbal & camera replacement is already ticked for you above, and you can tick anything else your Mavic Air needs in the same order. The most expensive job is full price and every extra repair or upgrade is 10% off.
How do I get my Mavic Air to you?
Mail it in from anywhere: UK orders can include a prepaid tracked label, and international customers get our workshop address and packing instructions by email. We send it back tracked at no extra charge. In the UK you can also drop it off at our London workshop by appointment.
Is the gimbal & camera replacement covered by a warranty?
Yes. Every repair and upgrade we carry out on a drone comes with a 12-month warranty from our London workshop, and we send photos or video of the finished work before it ships back to you.
