Just an addition to your video, which I didn't see covered. After following, everything was great, camera back in working condition. However, the gimbal thought front was 90 degrees off. Apparently the top housing to the motor housing, the screws you remove at 4:55, need to be kept in the same orientation. Once I rotated these screws by 90 degrees, the camera was back to proper position. Thanks for your great video, I was about to send everything off to get fixed, and this cost me less than $10 for a new slip ring.
Jeremy Griffith Thank you for pointing that out Jeremy!! Thats the one downside to performing this type of repair often is that I sometimes forget to include details such as what you pointed out because ive done it so many times I sometimes leave out little details haha. Regardless....thank you for posting it, itll probably help somebody else 🖒🖒
@@JoseAntonioBallarin I would recommend using a marker to line up the motor with the top plate prior to disassembly so that you can get the four screws back into the motor correctly.
@@moodberry Thank you very much. The problem is that when I removed it I did not use a marker and now I do not have any reference. Anyway my problem may not be due or an incorrect position. The gimbal works well but when it is in operation, when moving it vibrates, touching it gently, it stops vibrating until it moves again. I do not know if I explain myself correctly.
@@JoseAntonioBallarin You probably located the motor correctly if when it initializes it points in the same direction as the sonar sensors (the front of the copter). The vibration issue comes from what is known as the "PID" calibration. You can look that up on the internet. It's a technical term for calibrating the three axes so that they are in equilibrium. Every gimbal has its own quirks on how to do this technique and isn't for the faint hearted. I have three TH's, and when I turn them upside down, each gimbal reacts differently. One in particular vibrates crazily when upside down, but returns to normal when right side up. I contacted Yuneec and they said if it operates normally otherwise, just ignore it. So I will because they charge $80/hour for service plus parts if I sent it in. As for orientation, the OP left the part out about noting how to put the motor back together in relation to the slip ring. It can be in any of four directions, each one 90 degrees apart from one another because there are four screws that hold it in. If you don't put the screws back in the same hole they came out of, it will cause the camera to point in a different direction than straight ahead upon initialization. Actually, some people may WANT that! I don't think it hurts anything. But if you do get it wrong, just note where it is pointing and then rotate the camera gimbal in the opposite direction and re-secure it. For example, if it is 180 degrees out, rotate two screw holes and re-secure in place. That will fix it. How do I know? ;) Because that's what I did - TWICE :) Good luck.
Thanks so much. Just crashed mine and recovered it according to your manual, working 100%. Still, need to rotate it back cause having the same issue as Jeremy Griffith wrote below.
I picked up a Typhoon H for a reduced price of $300. (everything is included, nothing missing) The price was reduced because of this exact broken part. Greatly appreciate this video. I test flew the drone today (with the camera detached) and it works fine. My only concern is a hanging black wire near where the landing strut attaches. I have no idea what that wire was supposed to go to but the struts retract normally. All functions of the drone seem to be fine. I was going to send the entire drone in for repair until I watched your video. Again, I greatly appreciate the tutorial.
Great!! Thanks, my friend MadD MackX I have the same problem. I started to unmount and has been a time I did not know follow. With the help of your video it has been very easy. Thank you very much!! Regards, JABallarin
There are always questions about fixing problems like this on the Yuneec Owners Group on facebook and on Yuneecpilots.com. This will get lots of views.
Great video! If my Typhoon H's gimbal is spinning at startup and won't stop, what does that mean? Is my yaw motor bad? Is there a top secret calibration that I need to do? Every now and then I can get it to stop spinning. But if the camera moves for any reason, it just keeps spinning again. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I have a question about the other end of wires to the circuit board. I don't remember what it looked like before the crash, the circuit board comes with the other connection to plug in?
the problem of this camera can not connect with fpv glasses, would it be possible to jump on the video cable from the camera to an fpv transmitter to connect with the glasses?
nebluv Yes!!! sorry I didn't touch on that during the video. But yes you do have to remove the board and resolder the new wires to the board. BE CAREFUL soldering the pwm wire because there is a small surface mount resistor located at the bottom of the pad....take your time and you'll be fine 😉
regarding tbe pad your speaking of does that mean dont touch it or just becareful with the connection what should i watch out for and can u order just that board?
nebluv lol....just be careful with your soldering tip placement. when you take it apart you will see that the wire is actually routed around the side of the pad and not directly over the resistor.
I repaired all the wiring but I think that when I crashed it, the lowermost gimbal motor de-attached from the camera and might be missing some sort of screws to hold it back together. camera and other parts of the gimbal are working perfectly. Can you guys fix this problem?
Tirso Andres Yes either Vertigo Drones in the USA or DR Drone or omnidrone if you live in Canada are the repair centers that I am personally able to vouch for
I have the same issue where my camera spins on start up. I do a calibration which stops it until next start up, but only tilt control after the calibration. Any ideas on what went wrong?
Does anyone know if you replace the slip ring just like in the video, will a dealer calibration be needed? I've read conflicting updates in different places. I think not unless you replace the S2 board. Any help would be appreciated.
After the repair the gimbal just rotates clockwise. Camera is connected to the controller, and trying a gimbal calibration stops the rotation temporarily. Is there something else I'm missing?

Great trick the white wire used to push the 6 slip ring's wires through the hollow space!
SUPERB JOB BUDDY, NO KIDDING

Thanks Man.
With this video, I repaired my H without any problem (but with a lot of patience)
Thanks again(from France)
So glad I found this video!! Thak you!
Thank you so much for making this video finally got mine back together and flying

I think you are referring to the external antenna wire....Its supposed to be there.
Great!!
Thanks, my friend MadD MackX

Thank you for a good video! Can you show us, how you soldering the other wiring end? and the right position of them. Thanks

thanks for this video it saved me
Very helpful !!! Thanks a lot ;-)
one hell of a way to end a video lol !!!!!
Good job!!!
Yo MadD Max,
Do you have part numbers and prices of the slip ring motor!
And where did you buy parts!
I have a question about the other end of wires to the circuit board. I don't remember what it looked like before the crash, the circuit board comes with the other connection to plug in?
nice
Good
Where can i order that slip ring
My Q5004K Yaw motor 3EXIS burn all position ... i need spare part 3 motors for 3exis
one questions where to buy Yaw Motor ?
Yuttana Joe I have included a link in the description!! good luck on your repair!
Thanks so much
the problem of this camera can not connect with fpv glasses, would it be possible to jump on the video cable from the camera to an fpv transmitter to connect with the glasses?
Hi I just read on the yuneec site that you have to do a software calibration, is this what you find as well
Have you figured this issue out, I am having this problem right now.
Nice
hell after u have gotten the wires back in place do you need to sauter them back to the board?
nebluv Yes!!! sorry I didn't touch on that during the video. But yes you do have to remove the board and resolder the new wires to the board. BE CAREFUL soldering the pwm wire because there is a small surface mount resistor located at the bottom of the pad....take your time and you'll be fine 😉
this was an aweosme video ive had my drone 48hrs and my friend flew it into a tree im devestated but u have given me hope
regarding tbe pad your speaking of does that mean dont touch it or just becareful with the connection what should i watch out for and can u order just that board?
nebluv lol....just be careful with your soldering tip placement. when you take it apart you will see that the wire is actually routed around the side of the pad and not directly over the resistor.
so heres my thing if this doesnt work basically i will need.to replace the whole camera ball right

How much do you charge to repair? I cant PM you.
