Crash repair is about more than the broken part you can see

Crash-related drone repairs often involve more than one failed component. Arms, shell panels, landing gear, gimbal alignment, motors, and internal connections can all be affected by the same impact.

Australia-wide mail-in drone repair is available even when the damage looks severe, while Ballarat workshop drop-off offers an easy local alternative.

  • Impact damage inspection for shell, arms, landing gear, and motors
  • Checks for hidden gimbal, sensor, and power-system issues
  • Mail-in repair nationwide with Ballarat drop-off available

How the repair process works

Crash enquiries usually need calm, clear guidance. The process makes it obvious that the drone can still be assessed even if the owner is unsure how much damage is hiding under the shell.

Step 1

Tell us what is happening

Share how the crash happened, what damage is visible, and whether the drone still powers on or reports any warnings. Start with the model, the fault symptoms, any visible damage, and whether you would like to use our Australia-wide mail-in service or Ballarat workshop drop-off.

Step 2

Ship the drone or use local drop-off

Most customers send the drone to us by courier from elsewhere in Australia. If you are local, Ballarat workshop drop-off is available during business hours.

Step 3

Diagnosis and quote

The assessment focuses on structural damage, camera and gimbal alignment, motor condition, and any hidden faults that often appear after impact. Repair recommendations are based on the confirmed crash damage and any secondary issues discovered during diagnosis. Once we confirm the issue, we send through the recommended repair and quote before any work begins.

Step 4

Repair, test, and return

After the repair is complete, the drone is tested for the reported fault and either returned by courier or made ready for local pickup.

Arrange a crash repair assessment

Send us the model, a short crash summary, and whether the drone still powers on. We will explain the next step from there.
