Hello, Redditors! So, long story short about a minute after takeoff on my DJI Spark I lost all control and it hit a mountain at 35 mph. When I ran over to the drone shouting OH SHIT, OH FUCK NOOOO! at the busy religious monument I was attempting to film, I discovered that the drone had the camera gimbal assembly mount shattered and the camera was hanging by the data wire. So I get back home and I blow the sand out of the motors and take the remaining bits of props off of the motors, and follow an IFixit guide to getting inside. I find that the only things damaged are the camera gimbal that I saw immediately after the impact and I discover the GPS board that likely caused the crash is spitting out errors left and right so I chalk it up as broken.Heres where I need help,Do I attempt to fix the drone, I can fix it for ~$60-80 and just know that it is less reliable because I disassembled it and messed up the silicone that holds the ribbon connectors in place and stuff, or do I sell the still-working parts on eBay or something like that and get a Mavic Mini?If I do sell the drone which seems like the most appealing option, is there anything I need to do to make sure all my data is off of the drone and it has no trace of my photos or flight logs or anything like that. Basically is there any storage on the drone other than my Micro SD that I should clear? via /r/drones https://ift.tt/3cjhJwM
