    Hard landing

    My P3P Pro made a hard landing and now when I power it up. there is a beep beep beep from inside the body. Some of the body seams did have gaps, which I popped back together. The camera and gimbal do the start up operation, but no image on my tablet. Thanks to installing a gimbal guard and...

    My Phantom 4 Just Flew Away....

    I was flying with my kids a few weeks back and I was maybe 1000 ft out and in the hills outside of town when my P4 stopped responding to my commands and rth didn't initiate automatically. We stood there and watched as it flew back over the city and within minutes went down and out of sight...

    Bail Out!

    Phantom 4. I should have waited until after the windstorm abated to inspect the damage to the roof of my garden shed. Notice there is bright sunlight. Look carefully and you will see white flecks in the video. Those are snowflakes. It wasn't the steady wind, it was the sudden, strong gusts that...

    DJI doesn't agree with their manual

    My Phantom 3S flew away and crashed in January during a rth procedure. Both DJI and several others said it was my fault because I failed to cancel the rth when I tried avoid a tree during the landing attempt. Last night as I was re-reading the DJI manual, I noticed (on page 11) the following: "...

    Phantom crashed and won't take off

    I got my first drone, a phantom 1, about a week ago. Its been a blast, and I love it. It came with three batteries but one of them was a bit bloated so I hadn't tested it out till yesterday. Everything was going fine till the drone just dropped from the sky onto a tree and hit the ground hard...

    Receiver

    I was just curious, what part of the Standard 3's are responsible for connecting your aircraft to the transmitter? I crashed mine a few weeks ago and it will not connect no matter what and I don't know what to look at or replace.

    P4P Crash, Drone Nerds and P4P Parts Availability

    Due to my own inattention, I crashed my P4P into the side of my house a while back. One landing gear was broken off on both sides from the lower shell and the lower shell was damaged. Given things I had heard about DJI service and given that I wasn't making a warranty claim, I decided to send it...

    Broken landing gear/compass

    Recently took a spill with my P4Pro and did some damage to the landing gear and compass. Does anyone know where to buy these parts? I can't seem to find the package anywhere.. maybe DJI hasn't realized it to the public or service shops? Thanks in advance for your help!

Shell and props all OK, Battery done for. Drone comes on, connects to controller and DJI Go. But Gimbal goes crazy (tried the adjustments...

    Crashed my P4P Pro, going in to DJI repair process

    I'm pissed at myself and this was definitely interesting as I thought collision avoidance is supposed to always be on in front when in P Mode.i had all safety features enabled. I was about 8 feet off the ground and ran ino my neighbors tank (industrial truck that's solid steel framed truck bed...
