    Phantom 4 stress cracks... Should I be worried

    When all of them are cracking pretty much in the same place and even Drone Nerds admit its an issue, how on earth can they not own up to it?

    Phantom 4 Refurbish Advice

    Mine shipped the next day after ordering and I received it in 4 or 5 days... Maybe it was a good move that I didn't order directly from DJI? Sent from my VS985 4G using PhantomPilots mobile app
