    P4 loose propeller warning

    Was just flying my phantom 4 around and it threw up these messages half way through my flight. Freaked me out. Propellers always installed correctly, double checked before take off.

    How to fly phantom 4 without FPV?

    Should I return it before i fly?

    Coming from someone who purchased from DJI only to find that horizon drift was still an issue, and gimbal calibration failed, i would suggest the following: Unbox your drone, keep ALL STICKERS, ALL PACKAGING ALL EVERYTHING. Put the battery and controller on charge and read the manual, download...
