{"product_id":"dji-mini-3-oem-gimbal-camera","title":"DJI Mini 3 OEM Gimbal Camera","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe DJI Mini 3 OEM Gimbal Camera is the complete stabilised camera assembly at the nose of the DJI Mini 3: the camera head, the three-axis gimbal that holds it, and the flex cable and connectors that join it to the aircraft. As shown in the product images, it is an all-black assembly, with curved gimbal arms and round motor housings, a squared camera head with its lens set into the front face, a thin flat flex cable leaving the top of the gimbal, a short bundle of fine wires ending in a small connector, and a mounting end with locating tabs. It records every photograph and every second of video the aircraft takes, and it holds the picture steady and level while the aircraft moves. It is identified for the DJI Mini 3, and it is not a part for the DJI Mini 3 Pro, which has its own gimbal camera behind a differently shaped nose, or for the DJI Mini 4 Pro, whose gimbal camera full assembly we list separately. Pilots usually reach it while searching for a Mini 3 gimbal replacement, a DJI Mini 3 camera, a Mini 3 gimbal camera assembly, a Mini 3 gimbal motor overload or a Mini 3 crash camera repair. DJI has used more than one number for this position, so we match against the one you removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e✅ DJI Mini 3 Compatibility Guarantee\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🇺🇸 USA Compatibility Guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e👍🏻 Satisfaction Guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e💵 Money Back Guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e📦 Same Day Shipping \u0026amp; Tracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentified for the DJI Mini 3, the gimbal camera position at the nose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatched by the gimbal arms, the camera head, the flex cable route and the connectors against the assembly you removed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine DJI OEM gimbal camera, supplied as one complete assembly from mounting end to camera head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mini 3 name is shared by more than one aircraft, and the gimbal camera is where they part ways.

They fold the same way, look alike from above, and owners of both call their aircraft a Mini 3. The gimbal cameras are different parts. The Pro's nose is shaped around a pair of forward-facing vision sensors that sit above its camera; the Mini 3 has no forward sensors at all. A gimbal camera ordered by the name alone has a fair chance of being the wrong one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo the first check takes five seconds. Look at the nose of your aircraft. If there is only the camera, with no pair of sensor windows above it, it is a Mini 3, and this assembly is its gimbal camera. If there are two sensor windows above the camera, it is a Pro, and this is not its part. The Mini 4 Pro is different again, and its full assembly is listed separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second check is whether the gimbal camera is really the fault. A protector left in place, something touching the gimbal at power-on, an uncalibrated horizon, a failing memory card or a weak video link all make a healthy gimbal camera look broken. A bent arm, a dead motor, a torn cable or a cracked camera head do not recover, and the whole assembly is the honest repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it is the answer, it replaces the camera, every gimbal motor and arm, and the cable in one step, and the Mini 3 comes back steady and level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are unsure which Mini you have, send us a photograph of the nose of the aircraft.
