You have an amazing skill and dexterity,I do not even own a P3, but still admire the ability to fix it. Me I would probably just replaced the whole assembly, or risked changing just the board, and spent a fortune. Thanks.
Is there a pot on all three axes to be tested the same way? And spec sheet seems to suggest accuracy of +/- 30 pcnt, which might explain some of the readings I get: 3.8k-4.5k at the balance point (same on both legs)
Thanks for helping me with troubleshooting. The potentiometer was bad and I got it within 2 days through Mouser ALPS RDC 506 (RDC506018A) for $1.39, shipping was a bit more though.
I have wondered if it is possible to pull the wires out of the gimbals. Glue gimbals in place, keeping only the wiring into the camera. Much less stable video but I could still see where I was going! I enjoyed your video, I was not able to stop the camera seizures though.

Hello, I have same problem, I want to replace potentiometer, but I can't find, I found 10 ohm but I need 4 ohm (resistor), if I replace potentiometer (10ohm) instead of 4 ohm will it work normally? Please help me 😞, can you write me model of potentiometer, I can't find it
Hey brother I know this is a long shot, but I need to see if you have the whole board for a Phantom 3 Pro? Mine is chipped and a couple of the chips on the board have swelled up.
I still get the crazy dance after re aligning the roll ESC to its proper position. Is there a chance the Pitch ESC would cause it to do the crazy dance as well? as I dont see much about it on the web. I did order a new Roll ESC but will take some time to arrive so figured I would ask this question of you, since your super smart when it comes to fixing drones.
My phantom 3 standard fell from 200ft and ripped the gimbal off. I replaced the ribbon cable and broken roll arm, but now when I power it up the gimbal goes crazy. I checked the orientation of the camera to make sure the flat side is on the flat side of the camera and made sure all ribbon cable connections were good. I came across you video and I see you measure 4+ and 4+ Kohm on the roll board but this if for the Adv and pro. I checked the pitch board it it reads 4+ / 4+, but the roll board reads 5+ / 5+ Do you have a standard roll board you can read the Pot value? I suspect this may be the Issue... what do you think.
I need the potentiometer board. But in Ghana, how do I get one. Please any means you deem appropriate. Will do the financial transaction for you to send me one. Phantom 3 dji Standard.
Hi TheA8W12. I crashed my drone and i purchased replacement gimbal yaw and replaced it.. all good but when i connected camera and saw that as u called chicken dance with my cam. I'm from NY do you have any 3AP Roll axis circuit board driver board for DJI Phantom 3 Adavanced/Professional fro sale or if i send my Cam set to you could you fix it? Thanks..
Good afternoon friend, I greet you from Mexico, notice that I have a drone equal to the one you repaired the problem is the same, what happens is that here I do not get the potentiometer, my question where can I get it ...
To theA8W12 or anyone else who will answer, I am deaf, do you/does he mention where you/he got the replacement pot's? I can't see anything in the subtitles. Also, during the removal, did you/he smear flux across the three lower terminals and then just heat one terminal to melt the solder on all three terminals? For what it is worth there is a similar arrangement at one end of each joystick pivot in the controller
So, you still around? Do you know how to correctly and properly repair the issue of the yaw arm not centering after a crash? (Most suggest an unreliable fix of moving the yaw arm and putting the set screw on the round part of the motor arm, rather than the flat. Doesn't last and is not proper repair.) Thanks.
So I ohm'ed out the roll board potentiometer and 38.7 one way and 2.7 the other but I do not see any evidence of cracks or damage. Should I replace potentiometer or the whole board??????
the potentiometer for phantom is RCD506002A-ALPS-SMD as indicated in comments but they are no more available. So if anyone has bought a lot I would appreciate to buy some
nice video. Where can I buy the potentiometer? I tested 4 different boards and they read between 6k to 2k. It could just be because I'm using a cheap Radio Shack Multi Meter. Thank You.
Anyway I can just send you my camera and gimbal and you fix it? I don't have a lot of knowledge in this area. My unit seems to be find but goes crazy when I hook it up to the phantom
In my case (Phantom 3 Standard),I change 3 times the cable, change 3 potentiometer to, but without success! I later discovered a defect on Pith-axis ESC Motor Circuit Board. At the contact point called HCLR_N, it was shorted! On the back of this board, several shorted pins also on the main controller chip. I bought a new and compatible board on eBay (Pith-axis ESC Motor Circuit Board), made the exchange, and miraculously, it worked perfectly !!!! :) Sorry my bad inglish
Plese elaborate. I have the same issue. What caused this shorting? I have not used my drone for a year. It was fine when i last used it. After a year of no use , the gimbal danced and had no video feed
I measured the position sensor for the roll motor on my P3 standard and it reads 89K on both legs, with no change in value when moving the rotary. it is my assumption that the position sensor is bad. Thanks for the great video
hello I have a question I had problems with the pitch engine of the camera gimbal. It got stuck not to the movement from top to bottom, replaced by another from another camera and when armed the camera went crazy. I returned the pieces as they were and even went crazy. Maybe a suggestion? thank you very much
are you looking to get just the potentiometer to re-solder yourself or sensor board where potentiometer is soldered on? if later then i would need to know which phantom do you have, S/A/P and which sensor board, pitch or roll?
Is there any possibility of anybody telling where can I find and buy a Potentiometer like the one you soldered here ? I have the same problem but cannot find the piece and don’t want to buy the entire board . Great video btw
Ah well i just got mine and i didnt do anything hardly i had been flying mine for about 20 min and it decided to go straight up (into a tree) and just go nuts i had to rip the battery out to get it to stop
of course, look at the checkout link below. i've created this couple years ago when P2 sensor boards were popular but i am using the same checkout for all, P2/3/4 sensor boards now, just make sure you write in the NOTES at checkout EXACTLY which sensor board you need. for what bird/model and if it is for pitch (side sensor) or roll (back sensor). squareup.com/store/uav-repair-shop/item/pitch-sensor-board-for-dji-phantom-vision-gimbal

Dear TheA8w12,
I have a phantom 3 standard and I need to buy the potentiometer, what are the specs and where do they sell them.
Please help
thank you
did you find the potentiometer?
Dear TheA8W12,
The rotary position sensor CJMCU 103.
I wonder if this potentiometer would work? That the only one I could buy.
yes, i believe it would.
I have wondered if it is possible to pull the wires out of the gimbals. Glue gimbals in place, keeping only the wiring into the camera. Much less stable video but I could still see where I was going! I enjoyed your video, I was not able to stop the camera seizures though.
My phantom 3 gimbal having the same issue. Where can we buy the potentiometer?

Where can I source the potentiometers too for a dji 3?
Also new with those digital multimeters, what setting do I switch it to to get readings?
Ohm

What if I get no reading or erratic reading
Sometimes I got non reading
Hi there. I am looking for the 'pot '. Where can i buy that? Thanks.
Where you buy the circuite. What is the part name?
Could you link me to a source for the potentiometer you use?? there are so many to choose from
Hi, does the reading need to be 4k on both the left and right probes? I have the same problem on my drone and want to test it.
i dont know if anyone gives a damn but yesterday I hacked my gfs Instagram account by using InstaPlekt. You can find it by Googling enjoy!

We're can you buy the potentiometers from?
nice video. Where can I buy the potentiometer? I tested 4 different boards and they read between 6k to 2k. It could just be because I'm using a cheap Radio Shack Multi Meter. Thank You.
I see that mine are the same way.
When the reading from the POT is 3.71KΩ, do i have an issue.? Need replacement ?
ArisMad Nop, it’s good
@@TheA8W12 Thank you for sharing your knowledge :)
World could have been better when common sence rules.
Mine are broken too, reading 10M both, can I fix that? I don't know where to buy this potensio
Can I send in my camera to be fixed . Thx .
Hi, would you please provide me with a pair of the potentiometer. I have my phantom 3 std gimbal broken!
Great video.
I cannot find phantom 3 standard RCD506002A-ALPS-SMD potentiometer on eBay.
The potentiometer is an ALPS RDC 506. Search digikey or mouser. About $2
I tested both roll and pitch boards and they're both read 4k. My gimbal still does the crazy dance. Any ideas why or what else I can try to fix it?
Controller probably
Really really helpful video thank you so much bro
Hi, What's the part number for the replacement potentiometers please ? Cheers
Hey jack, where are you located? I may have a few of you'd want to buy them
Can I ship immune to you to fix man?

of course,
look at the checkout link below. i've created this couple years ago when P2 sensor boards were popular but i am using the same checkout for all, P2/3/4 sensor boards now, just make sure you write in the NOTES at checkout EXACTLY which sensor board you need. for what bird/model and if it is for pitch (side sensor) or roll (back sensor).
