Battery not being secured by both top and bottom clip will cause the one secured clip to pop loose with any flexing/change in direction, of the P4 I know because I saw it happen. Before flight make sure you can feel that the battery is locked in. On my P4 it is very hard to remove the...

My bet is battery dislodged! If only one side of battery snaps in a sudden change in speed or direction will cause flexing of drone battery compartment and battery release causing power loss. Then if hitting a tree or something else before the ground battery will fall out. Happened to me! So...

As one alternative consider the possibility that the battery in the p4 disconnected and then fell out at the point of last signal. I do not know why this happens, maybe because of flexing of the craft. I always have had trouble removing the battery because it catches on the way out...

I have not posted about this before but I had the battery fall out and luckily I saw it happen or would have blamed it on lost signal and control. I do not know how this could happen considering difficulty in getting battery out of drone every time

No real damage except camera arm broke off and tore the elect cable apart! Maybe expensive to fix!

No I cannot be sure both clips locked properly. I do know at least one of them was locked in place. I just cannot understand how it is so hard to get the battery out but yet it falls out in flight!

I might have not made it clear but the Phantom lost all power about 30 feet above trees a little far to see the battery fall but what else would cause all communication and power? it went straight down into the trees below.

I have usually had problems with removing battery. The two release buttons pushed and still tough to remove. The last flight the battery was inserted properly anda bout 100 meters out I was banking hard left and lost power. Crash in the Costa Rican Jungle. Found battery a couple of meters...

ok will try later, thanks

Yes and it is there everytime since

I believe this is causing really jerky video

Gimbel overload error. Is there a remedy
