Parrot Rolling Spider Minidrone: Why is my drone not stabilizing?

Thu, 25 Aug 2016 21:00:49 -0700

My drone crashed into the wall, and It appears to be in fine condition but whenever I try to fly it the back propellers fly faster than the front propellers and it causes my drone to spin out of wack. Should I buy new propellers?

DJI Phantom 2 Vision Plus: Camera Gimbal Repair and Replacement

Tue, 27 Mar 2018 08:31:05 -0700

Day one, Flight one... My Phantom 2 Vision+ took two spills and lost its pretty little camera. I'll be capable of working the metal back to fit, but the ribbon will need replacing. I've already ordered the part via ATK Drone Services, but a detailed disassembly of the camera gimbal unit would be very useful. Thanks!

DJI Mavic Mini: Help with lost mini resistor

Tue, 17 Jan 2023 15:50:35 -0700

Hi.

I managed to lose a mini resistor when I was replacing the gimbal cable after a crash with my DJI Mavic Mini...

Could you help me with the information about the resistor? It's the one on the outerside by the connector of the flat gimbal cable on the mainboard. I've attached a picture showing it.

Regards Lars Jonsson.

DJI Phantom 3: Phantom 3 Professional crashed vertical down

Sun, 05 Sep 2021 00:45:52 -0700

I was flying with strong GPS signals in wide open grassland with no trees, building & towers. Within 7 minutes of flight, the Phantom 3 started to spun 360 degree and with no control it crashed vertically down. The crash resulted to bad damage on the shell body, Gimble arm broke with camera ( although camera looks fine), landing gear crack and props got destroyed. The firmware V 1.2.6 was fully updated, compass calliberation, and home point was done as per routine procedure. Still, it crashed.

Can somebody advise me whether this is a manufacturing defect or Pilot error? Any idea is there a vendor who can repair?

DJI Mavic Pro: dji maveric camera wire replacment

Thu, 28 Oct 2021 23:20:36 -0700

Hi, I broke my gimbal off my mavic pro. I tore both my ribbon cable and the wire cable harness. I have the necessary know how and tools to make the repair and I found the necessary ribbon cable and replacement vibration absorbing mounting plate. However, i cannot find the wire cable harness with metal ends that connects the camera to the board for sale anywhere. Do you have any broken cameras around that may have this cable on them that hasn't been damaged? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Drone: Apex x100 Camera won't record

Tue, 20 Aug 2024 11:54:40 -0700

Everything about my drone works fine except for the fact that video and picture won't be recorded onto my sd card. The drone recognizes that the sd card is there, I've tried multiple different mini sd cards. The drone responds to remote commands and flashes lights when input is made, and I have visual connection from my FPV screen. I've opened up the camera and all wires are connected as far as I can tell. It just wont record anything, if you know what might be wrong please let me know

So my drone is fine and my controller. All collaborated and stuff. But the propellers on the drone won't turn and it doesn't look broken. I haven't used it at all. When I use the lever that lifts the drone up there is no reaction.
