I have an Inspire 1 Model 600 system for which I'm looking for recommendations on what to do with it. It has had 3 crashes:
- January 2015 - covered by warranty;
- July 2015 - crashed into a tree; was fine; just needed new X3 camera;
- November 2016 - crashed into a tree; gimbal & camera knocked off. Needs a couple of cables, a re-heating and reshaping of a landing leg, and new gimbal. Pics attached.

- The whole system consists of:
- Aircraft body (1) - needs a couple of cables & reshaping of one leg; is stuck in landing mode & does not change to flying position for fitting into case; don't know if putting a new camera on it will resolve the issue.
- Remote controllers (2); one of which has never been used & still has its plastic film on
- Camera with gimbal (1) - needs new gimbal
- Propeller set - 1st quick release version (1)
- TB47 battery (1) - 40 charges
- Battery charger (1)
- ND filter (1)
- Manual pack (1)
- Power cable (1)
- Remote controller charing cable (1)
- Micro USB cables (2)
- Harness (1)
- Camera / gimbal box (1)
- Carrying case (1)

What are your thoughts?
1) Replace camera & gimbal; replace the 2 gimbal cables; use hair dryer to reshape landing gear? (Guessing less than $500 in cost if landing gear does not need replacing)
2) Sell whole system as is? What is the fair market value these days? Proceeds would go to a Z3 or XT for use on my other I1 Pro, or towards a Matrice 600.
 
i don't see the pics.
Thank you for your comment. Sorry, am not sure how to help. The pics are in my media folder in my profile. When I created this post, I clicked on the camera icon to add the media. Not sure what else to do.
