Thanks for the comment. Always glad to help out other "economically conscious" DIYers. But if you can't afford to do this twice, be sure you read the first few lines of the video description. I had to do it twice because I wasn't careful running the wires around the plastic supports inside the controller and one of them got severed when I snapped everything back into place firmly!

@@baker.richard glad to help! Hopefully you saw the edit to watch out for where your contact wires line up as I severed one of mine and rendered the new thumb stick useless 😓

​@@Kuykenstuff I read it after I closed up so fingers crossed 😆 For me I didn't need to open very much to get things realigned. It was one of those ribs that keep the battery in place that had moved and it had bent somehow and was sat under the battery. I did a quick fly around the room and it seemed ok so hopefully all is well here. If not.. I'll be back to watch again!

You should be able to assign that in the settings, if I recall correctly. I'll have to take a look at mine when I get a chance.

@@Kuykenstuff thats the point, you cant change the settings. Only the function of the recht wheel.

Cool man, glad to help. Please do put that video up, we need all the help we can to fix our own equipment! it's also just fun to shoot, edit, and create content on TH-cam, more fun than I anticipated.

so how long did you used your controller before replacing the battery?

@@buwaya5704 years... my other channel I show how to change the battery just look p dji rm-330 battery change and it should show

What are the battery details for this controller. I can only find info on the non screen RC

@@buwaya5704 they last different for everyone depending on how much you use it... but it last for me like 2 years of off and on use...

@@BadLuckFPV thanks for the compliment, but I feel you might be getting a bit liberal with your use of the term “concise” 😅 I do videography as a side hustle, so I’m fairly versed in production, but as far as presentation, pacing, titles, all that mess, it’s still a learning process. Anyway, hope this video helped you out and saved you some money!

@@Kuykenstuff yeah I said concise before I looked at the length. Let's say thorough lol It's okay tho because despite my gaff this video had everything I needed.

@@Bob65001 glad to help anybody save some money in this great hobby, brother.

Thanks! Hopefully I won't have to do anymore self repairs, but in case I do, they'll be posted here!

@@Kuykenstuff Right, I'm a self repairer

@@Rushtik9506 yes, the RC controller runs Android OS by default. I don’t know if it can be jail broken or not.

Glad to help, brother!

Muchas gracias por su apoyo de muy lejos! Me alegré que su drone funciona de nuevo. Pido desculpas, no uso mi español con frecuencia estés días.

Sorry dude, was my first attempt at a proper TH-cam video and was trying to do the most! Glad the video got you through it!

Glad to help, bud! I feel like Cloud City Drones should be paying me a referral fee by now 😂

@@Kuykenstuff straight up😂

Oh no, that sounds like a debacle!!! One thing that I didn’t mention in this video is to check the fitment of the wires when you’re laying them down, before closing the controller up. Apparently one of mine got clipped by the little plastic reinforcing ribs, so I couldn’t turn left or right on my first flight and ended up having to do the whole process over again!

Dang, that sucks.. sorry to hear that. I already closed her up and did a test flight, but I could easily see how that would happen. Guess I'll eventually find out if a wire is pinched.

@@miken216 mine was apparent immediately. I sent my Mavic 3 up and then it wouldn't turn. Super bummer. On the bright side, I was able to do the whole replacement in 5 minutes the second go-round.

Dang! Sounds lucky that you didn’t crack the screen or worse! Glad you still found this helpful. Happy flying, amigo!

Happy to help! Glad my mistakes can be others’ lessons! Happy flying out there!

Glad to help out! Be sure to check where the wiring is laying when you go to push the controller back together. I wasn’t careful and my connector got caught and ended up cutting through one of the wires and I lost all left/right input on my first flight. Ended up doing the whole operation a second time.

I just hope it helps some people and that guy from Reddit feels shame.

Thank you kindly!

You’re welcome! The guy in the Reddit comment didn’t really appreciate it 🤣 Anyways, I didn’t get a chance to video it, but you’ll want to be really careful with where you lay the wires down in the controller before you snap it back together. Somehow after this video, one of my wires got pinched and eventually cut and I lost all horizontal input from the new control stick. It was really strange and frustrating until I discovered the issue.

@@Kuykenstuff This is my drone channel. It was my original comment from my fishing channel. I dropped my remote on a fire escape with the sticks still screwed on. It damaged my right controller stick. Being a Canadian, I ordered from the link you provided, so Fed Ex fee is $34 bucks Canadian. The stick itself was $30 Canadian, and I also ordered their Fix it kit. Yours is the only video I could find anywhere on any platform that demonstrates how to replace it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

@@glennmcneil1673 happy to help! I had another guy reach out from Germany talking about how shipping from that link would have cost more than a whole new RC unit 😬😬😬
