I am getting a replacement part for the Movi MR gimbal tomorrow, Freefly is sending them via overnight shipping - this will allow me to actually test the electronics and see if the motors, gyros or other electronics got any damage. As far as visible physical damage to the copter the following is what I found so far: I just tested the whole system - the ESC's and motors seem to work fine (at least as far as I can test it on the ground). Though it seems that the GPS is damaged. One of the contacts got bent and it is giving me a GPS error - so I am assuming that the board got permanently damaged. Here is an updated full list of the damaged parts: - 6x propeller: $36.75 for 2pack. Total = 110.25 - 3x 500mm Cinestar booms: $100 each. Total = 300.00 - 1x Canon 5d mk3 w/ 24-105 lens: $3.999 - 2x Movi landing gear: price not yet known - 1x Movi Pan Axis Vertical Tube: price not yet known - Mikrokopter Flight Controller: $460 - Mikrokopter Navi Ctrl: $290.40 - Mikrokopter GPS: $105.95 - Mikrokopter GPS shield: $21.35”
