Very friendly and informative, service was completed quickly and the cost very reasonable. They were also very honest in advising me an upgrade was an unnecessary expense.

Why bring your drone to Microsmith
Test before return
Every drone repair is tested before it leaves — including gimbal stability, motor balance and full power cycling. We will not return a drone unless we are confident it is safe to fly.
Free quote, no obligation
We provide a clear repair quote before starting any work. There is no charge to bring your drone in for an assessment.
12-month parts and labour warranty
All completed drone repairs are backed by a 12-month warranty on parts and labour as standard.
Based in Newport — no posting required
Bring your drone directly to our workshop at 31 Russell Drive, Newport. No need to package and post your device to a remote repair centre.
Experienced with flight systems
Drone repairs require a working knowledge of flight controllers, ESCs, gimbal systems and power management. Our technicians have hands-on experience across multiple drone platforms.
Crash assessment before parts ordering
With drones, one visible break often hides a second fault in the gimbal, ESC or frame. We inspect the whole unit first, then quote properly so you know the full repair picture before parts are ordered.
Drone repair questions
Do you repair DJI drones?
Yes. DJI is the brand we see most often. We repair the DJI Mini series, Air series, Mavic series, FPV, Avata and Avata 2.
My drone crashed — can you assess the damage?
Yes. Bring it in and we will carry out a full inspection. Crash damage often affects multiple systems simultaneously — motor, ESC, gimbal and frame — so a thorough assessment is important before any repair work begins.
Can you source parts for my drone?
We stock parts for the most common DJI, Autel, Parrot and Yuneec models. For less common models we can source parts — bring your drone in and we will confirm availability and lead time.
How long does a drone repair take?
Simple repairs such as battery or port replacements can often be completed same-day. Crash damage assessments and gimbal repairs typically take 2–5 working days depending on parts availability.
Is it worth repairing an older drone?
That depends on the repair cost and the value of the drone. We will give you an honest assessment — if a repair is not economical we will tell you clearly.
Need your drone repaired?
Bring your drone to our Newport workshop for a free assessment and repair quote. No obligation to proceed — we will explain the fault and the cost clearly before starting any work.
