rustle while phantom is powered up

Toelis · Apr 14, 2016

Just bought a new Phantom Advanced. Finished all procedures; both firmware updates (01.08) and IMU callibration. From the moment I power the phantom on I hear a continuous noise from the phantom.

Does anyone recognise this sound; is this normal ?

Any motor heating up faster than others?

Are all props ok?

No props attached, motors are not running yet.
I don't hear the noise on my Phantom Vision + 3.0

I just sent mine in.. It was making a rattling sound. Then it warmed up and there was no problem. I think it is a bearing. Not cool I don't want an in flight engine shut down. I do have almost 200 miles of flight on it though.

You're going to have to be more specific I think. Phantom 3's have a fan inside that runs when you power up the bird whether the motors are running or not. Maybe record and post a video with audio for us?

It looks like the sound of a fan. Made a short video. Try to post the link.
