crashed my P4P

[Demetrius87]

So while flying today I was about 15ft away from a building and a gust of wind blew my P4P into a stone wall (it really wasn't that windy out, just had a big gust). So long story short my P4P came crashing down to the ground and the battery poped out of the drone.

Damage to the drone is the back right landing gear is clearly broken off, wire inside that landing gear going from the senor down to the circuit board is ripped off at the board. Front of the two land gears are missing the plastic covers where the circuit board is located. Also there is a few minor hairline paint chips around the gimbal but I'm not worried about that now. So should I send it back to DJI for repair or see if I can find 2 new landing gear. I haven't tried taking off again after the crash but I powered the craft on and everything seems to be working on the app and the gimbal is still feeding back video.

I just saw that on Amazon but do you have the land gear for the Pro version?

DJI hasn't started selling landing gear for the P4P yet. Unless you can track down a repair shop that has landing gear, you'll need to contact DJI support and send in your Phantom for repair.

 

[Demetrius87]

Only place I found the Pro landing gear is on eBay from China. Has anyone ordered landing gear from China, is it safe? Also I found the front left motor (gray) won't lock the propeller. It twists but won't pop back up into the locked position.

Is the prop or motor lock damaged?

 

[Demetrius87]

Edit; nvm about the prop, it is working properly

I just went for a test run and everything seems to be working except the back left side sensor due to the wire being ripped. Went thru all the controllers and the craft is flying level at a stop.

Just waiting on confirmation from the eBay seller of the Pro Version of the landing gear.

And you were in P mode right?

 

[Demetrius87]

Yes I was in P mode, the blade was hit on the side of the drone but the side infa-red object avoidance sensors are only activate in beginner mode or tripod mode as we all know. Should have been in tripod mode when I was that close or at least activated narrow sensing which I learned about after the crash. Lesson learned.

i just seen yesterday Cloud City Drones in RI they sell parts and i did see landing gear w/ sensor/attena wires inc. I'm not sure if they are compatible for the p4 and p4p
but its worth a look they weren't that expensive $18 ??
