DJI Mavic 3 Pro Gimbal Motor: Yaw, Roll or Pitch

Three cameras ride on the Mavic 3 Pro's gimbal, moved by three motors, and a crash usually damages only one of its motors. This listing sells the yaw, roll and pitch motors separately, so you replace just the one that's failed. The roll motor costs a little more than the other two.

Choose Yaw Motor, Roll Motor or Pitch Motor. The listing describes them as brushless motors and names no maker, so each is sold as aftermarket.

Matching the motor to the fault

• Yaw Motor: sideways drift, or a gimbal that won't turn left and right.

• Roll Motor: a leaning or wobbling horizon that calibration can't fix.

• Pitch Motor: a camera that won't tilt, droops or shakes when tilting.

Before ordering

Calibrate the gimbal and check the yaw motor board cable, signal cable and arms; damage there can look like a motor fault. With the drone off, turn each axis by hand and feel for roughness.

When fitting, protect the flex cables and lenses. Calibrate afterward and record footage with all three cameras while panning and tilting to confirm each axis behaves.
