    Did my Phantom 4 Pro Suddenly Brick During Flight?

    Hey everyone. I'm new, and I'm screwed. I was flying my work's P4Pro yesterday on Sport Mode, and it suddenly lost all connection. I'm new to flying, but I've flown enough to have noticed that this was different: usually when I lose signal, it goes in and out and is usually corrected within a...

    My First Crash - Pilot Error. But I have a question or two. . .

    I was attempting to fly slowly through a 6' wide opening beneath a pergola covering our back patio. I had turned off visual navigation and had it in Atti mode. I thought I knew what I was doing. But of course, I didn't. I was only about 3 feet off of the ground and as I started to steer...

    Lost signal crash

    Flying today and not 50 feet from me a tree caused a lost signal ( There was no signal from the camera to begin with, just a black screen) and P4 dropped like a rock taking a 15 foot drop with it landing upside down. Was in p mode and all was correct upon boot up (until camera signal was lost)...

    Crash due to failed Obstacle Avoidance - case with DJI?

    Hello everyone, I'm new here on the forum and glad to be among fellow Phantom Pilots. :-) TLDR; Flying slow and steady, my P4 crashed into a tree branch that I didn't see due to bright daylight conditions. The Obstacle Avoidance system didn't detect it either, so the P4 continued to fly...

    P3S 2.4 antenna leads broke during crash

    Good day! I am a new flyer and unfortunately crashed yesterday breaking the gimbal bracket which is an easy fix. But also broke the u.fl leads for the two 2.4 wires leading inside the unit. It is my understanding this cannot be crimped or soldered back together. I have researched the forum...

    GPS tracker dangerous interference; caused mini crash

    After I lost my first P4 , and no chance to find it (long story..), I decided to use a gps tracker all the time. I bought a new P4 and attached a TK102 tracker, set it to send sms every 30 seconds. I attached it by adhesive tape to the landing gear. On the first flight (waypoint programmed...

    Hello all, I'm new to the forum and flying drones. So recently, I purchased a used FC40 with an oversized battery. Long story short, battery popped out the back mid flight, dropped about 200 ft. Good news: drone isn't heavy and took no damage that I could see. Battery was smashed all over the...

    Drone Hits Power Line (Phantom 3 Pro)

    Completely amazed that my drone did a 360 degree flip after hitting a power line and did not crash to the ground. How is this possible? Has anyone else ever had their Phantom upside down without crashing?

    Did I hit a bird?

    Last night my P3P dropped from 200'. I did 3 slightly different Litchi mission over 4 runs. During the 3rd run of the 2nd mission it suddenly spun and fell. The Litchi map on my phone showed me where it was and I was able to find it. Just before the 3rd run of the mission I had lowered the...

    Fell From the Sky--Prop Spun Off?

    I have some of those hairline stress cracks. Not sure if that has anything to with this but I doubt it. I had already called DJI and told them about the cracks, which the support rep insisted was cosmetic and does not effect flight. I was also having a problem artifacts/ripples in my videos...

    So this happened. When I get the new part in does anyone know how that ring goes on? It looks like it had glue applied and then pressed on, hard to tell. Anyone had to do this repair yet? Also the camera housing got banged up a little. Anyone know where I can get just the housing or if...

    Cancel RTH Quickly

    So a friend came over and wanted to see me fly my drone. I told him the battery was charging but it was probably enough to just hover around for a few minutes. Anyway that's what I did. I did not hear it say it was initiating RTS, possibly cause of the noise from the drone being so close. There...
