Contacted support last night but they were less than helpful. As soon as I mentioned the word "design flaw" he tried to end the conversation. All I got was another email address which I am supposed to contact now..

Yeah that's what I mean, the gimbal mounting inside the craft, including the round part I was referring to earlier. Is it supposed to be so loose?

Was just about to grind it down when I noticed the gimbal mount seems to be very loose. I cant tell if this is normal or not, the hole at the bottom of the craft is about twice the size of the gimbal mount and has some kind of rubber buffer inside so I assume this has to do with image...

Nope, only soft landings and sometimes catching by hand. Also there are hundreds of videos with the 45 degree camera tilt so I don't think hard landing has anything to do with it. Embarrassingly its not just normal phantom 4 either. P4P suffers from this issue as well..

Yeah its not much at all to grind down, maybe one milimeter. But do I lose the warranty if I do so? Or should I attempt to send it back, because its obviously faulty?

It happens when flying sideways from left to right and moving camera down at the same time. So far i had this happen 4 times while flying in sports mode (out of maybe 20 flights). Probably going to grind this corner down a bit to avoid the motors breaking.. Edit: Heres how it looks when it...

Yeah video quality isn't that great. But it is good enough to see the problem, top right corner of the camera touching the round part at the top preventing the camera from moving all the way down, overloading the motors. Often it gets stuck for a moment in this position forcing the camera to...

Figured out how to reproduce the Gimbal Overload Error and discovered a pretty damning design flaw. You be the judge.. Edit: And this is how the gimbal tilt happens during flight. I probably tilted the craft more than I needed to but you get the idea..

Okay thanks for clearing this up. But cant I update the home point to current location of the remote? Or wouldn't this change anything, so if I engaged the return home command it would just fly 500m up the mountain and then crash into it? Definitely need more training flights to test the...

Probably should have read the overview part more carefully before buying the tab 3. Not much of a problem since I got it really cheap off ebay. I do have a couple more questions now though about what my drone is exactly capable of and what not, I don't intend to find out the hard way ;) I live...

Poor choice of words.. I didn't mean software compatibility but hardware. Like: will it be powerful enough to run the most recent version of go4 properly without lagging? Some of the tabs on this list.. i am very doubtful. You know, the ones with 1gb ram & 1,5 ghz cpu.

I don't mean any offence, but are you sure that list is up to date? That's the same list which led me to buy the Samsung tab 3, and it even shows the tab 2 as compatible. Anyway, i ended up buying a Galaxy Tab S2 today (ipad mini 4 was sold out..). Everything works fine now :)

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3. Probably going to buy a ipad mini 4 tomorrow because go4 doesn't appear to run properly on the tab 3, it lags like 5 seconds every time I open settings etc..

Just tried reinstalling the go 4 app, sadly the problem still persists. Also return to home altitude is back to 0 and can not be changed either now. Does the craft or the remote need an active satellite connection to change these settings? Will try to connect it with the assistant next and...

Thanks. Yes, the copter is on and connected to the remote and app. I can see the video feed. Its also just this one option I can not change, everything else works just fine (max altitude, max distance, RTH altitude etc.) I did update the firmware of the craft & remote before the first flight...
