Need assistance with some drone parts

[OCD Solutions]

Our project manager brought in his drone to fly our site and the intern crashed it today.

I dug it out of the trash and brought it home to either rebuild it or part it out to build something else cool and custom. Like a pond scum skimmer I can chase turtles around the pond with.

It’s a Typhoon H and it’s pretty beat up, that’s all I know at this point. I’m willing to throw some parts at it but at what point is it worth more as parts or a starter kit for something else?

Some “before pics”, lol.

The controller alone must be worth something.?.?.?

So I work for a drone company and we do inspection work with them. Over the years we have had quite a few crashes. In the beginning we used to try to fix them but most of the time other issues came up after they were patched back together.

They are pretty much built like toys and meant to be thrown away when crashed. We don’t even mess with fixing them anymore. If it’s one of our more important models we ship it back to DJI. You can find parts on AliExpress most of the time.

That explains why he tossed it. He said he has crashed and fixed it twice already and the last time was $800 in parts.

Once he saw the camera gimble busted in half, he knew it was done for.

Remote pond skum skimmer it is then!
