    Wrecked drone in need of parta

    I see what you mean. I checked on line and the landing gear seems cheap and readily available. But as you suggested, I can get a set and use the clips without changing the gear and have the spare gear if the current ones go bad. Great advice: Thanks.

    Wrecked drone in need of parta

    Thanks. I see what you mean. The landing gear seems to be detachable but there appears to be wiring inside. Not sure if that is a big deal or can be a DIY job?

    Wrecked drone in need of parta

    I am also looking for parts information. My P4 standard took a dive from about 10 feet and the small white clips that cover a wire port where the legs join the body came off. Didn't notice it then and now can't find them. Can I get these anywhere? Seem to be a cover for wires that extend...

    Dji warranty is a hoax

    Experienced a failure of the RC controller on my P4 Standard to take a charge about 7 months after purchase. After doing the dance with Amazon and their third party supplier to no avail, I spoke to DJI. It took a few tries but they gave me a case number and sent me prepaid ups label. I sent...

    Does new P4 RC firmware set Home Point automatically?

    I just received a replacement P4 standard RC from DJI as a warranty replacement (due to RC failure to take battery charge). Came with latest firmware. On 3 recent flights, never asked me to set the home point or calibrate the compass. Screen did say Home Point was set. I miss the turning in...

    Phantom 4 Controller Will Not Fully Charge

    I had a similar problem with my P4 standard. I took it to an authorized repair shop in South Florida (one of only 2 or 3 in the US auth by DJI) They said the battery control circuit board was malfunctioning and that even a battery replacement would not work. So I took a great leap of faith...

    Phantom 4 Pro Parts

    For the record, the site for antenna stuff is MAXXUAV.com. Not MAXXUAS.com as shown. Simple typo I'm sure.

    DJI Service Sends Refurb for 6 Week old Bird

    Amazon is not so great either. I bought P4 from DigitalAndMore via Amazon and when I tried to return for repair or return was told by Amazon that the 3rd party only offers refunds within 30 days. I said it is not that I simply don't like it. IT BROKE (RC battery wont charge). Amazon was firm...

    New From Florida

    Hope this isn't redundant with other threads already started. I am in SE Florida (Palm Beach county) and looking for P4 pilots to commiserate and share tips with. Anyone know of any clubs in Palm Beach or Broward county? Thanks. Cant really find local support resources (i.e., legit repair...

    New firmware update

    OK. Did some research. DJI has a page ( DJI GEO System - Unlock Areas For Authorized Access ) where you can go and see a map of No Fly zones and selectively UNLOCK one or more of them for 3 days. (Cant unlock the actual No Fly - like Wash DC or the immediate vicinity of an airport) but you...

    New firmware update

    Thanks. Went to the DJI no fly zone page and it does say that most of the airports in SE Fla are in No Fly zones. Current link below to the page showing Boca Raton air[port. Shows a small (maybe 1 mile) radius for ABSOLUTELY NO FLY) but a large area showing AUTHORIZATION ZONE. Which it says...
