    Resurrected Resting Phantom 4 Pro - She woke with gimbal problems...

    Looks like it. I am shocked at how reasonable the charge was. I expected to get beat up by these guys. Pretty cool to know it's this easy/cost effective. Love the EDDIE profile pic. Reminds me of the day when people used to paint him onto the back of denim jackets (NYC, '80s).

    Resurrected Resting Phantom 4 Pro - She woke with gimbal problems...

    Thanks man. Actually, had already sent in to DJI. Hopefully I lucked out as the quote is below at $108. If they send me a refurb I'll know since part 107 regi/insurance/business stickers are all over the frame. Also, I believe that they have to tell you if they plan to send a replacement...

    Thanks for the comment man. Flew it through the 6 batteries and no change. Looking like sending it in for their mercenary service is the only option. Very tempted to go back to home-building just to be able to handle all repairs myself.

    Thanks, gave it a shot. No dice. Going to fly it though 5-6 batteries to see if anything changes then send it in to DJI. So strange it has broken for absolutely no reason.

    Warm it up, shake something loose, shake something back into place, re-align the electrons and protons in the Chinese flux capacitor. DJI wants me to send it in for repair, of course. The thing is essentially brand new. Joy.

    Resurrected Resting Phantom 4 Pro - She woke with gimbal problems...

    Hello folks, I just started up a Phantom 4 Pro that's been sitting in my closet idle since November of 2017. Out of 7 LiPo's only 1 went bad! That's the good news. The issue: After startup, the gimbal thinks that level is slightly down and to the right, meaning that after initialization the...

    Phantom 3 Transmitter Partially Binds with Red & Green Blinking Binding Light

    Having a strange problem. I have 2 phantom 3 professionals. One is the older W323 model and the other is the newer W323B model. Last week I bound the TX from the W323 to the W323B. Just wanted to see if the old TX would give me better range. It did not. But I had no problems binding it...

    New P3 Pro Loses Signal - Old P3 Pro Has No Issues

    Hello folks. Have had the P3 Pro for over a year. Recently purchased a backup P3 Pro due to the great sales. When out testing today, I was having all sorts of video/RC signal dropouts. They occurred in my local practice field, where I normally fly. With my old P3 Pro, I get noticeably...

    Anyone used a Ricoh Theta S on their P3 Yet??

    mountaindr3wz - I tried mounting the theta using those items (CF plate and a 1/4" 20 screw) and the result was mad vibrations. Could you take a shot of your setup? Are you getting any vibrations at all?

    Sooooo..... Whose returning their P4?

    Interesting thread for sure. For folks new to DJI: The company just lies about their max flight times. They aren't measured under "ideal" conditions, they're just pure fantasy numbers. Anyone to try a DJI product first is a paying test subject, and you're taking a financial risk. If...

    P3P eBay Deal of the Day for $799

    I purchased the ebay deal too from that seller. P3 Pro with a DJI turtle backpack. Everything seems new/legit, and got it in 2 days since he's in NJ and I'm in NY. The only different part that might be fishy was that the SD card included was a black el cheapo 16GB Panasonic instead of the...
