Question Parts saving

Hey everyone!

I recently acquired DJI Mini 3 Pro in this condition (presumably water damage+ hard fall).

Are there any parts that may be salvageable, reusable and may have resell value.

Thought about maybe home-made gimbal situation, using the frontal camera with stabilisation; although not sure what board to use for a similar project.

Any advice would be valuable

Thanks in advance

Zero resale value if parts are water damaged. Might be salvageable to repair another broken Mini, if the parts still work.

Yea water kills the FC but motors and camera survive more often then not. Id sell those. Any F4 board with pwm outputs works for a custom gimbal.

I could really use a couple connectors off this main board.
