    The Dreaded Drone Crash

    As I read Phantom Pilots with interest daily, I never have to wait very long to hear of an unfortunate drone crash. Phantom gimbals and landing gear seem to take the worst of the spanking. In 8 years of flying drones, I've only crashed twice and never with my P4P v2. My first drone was a...

    Buried at Sea. My Phantom 4 is at the Bottom of the Atlantic now

    I have/had a P4 that was gifted to me by my wife and kids 2 years ago. I was petrified to fly it, it costing so much... So I cut my teeth on a less expensive drone, then when I was a better pilot I began using the P4. I loved it, and I have some nice videos from it. But I haven't spent more than...

    Gimbal makes grinding noise after crash

    After a crash, two props were damaged, and one of the arms separated a bit. Gimbal makes a strange noise now. Please look at the short video and let me know what you think. The camera works fine. I am concerned with the rattling noise that it is making. Here is a link to a short video.
