DJI Phantom 3: Open the Locking tabs on Phantom 3

Tue, 16 Feb 2016 15:51:30 -0700

I'm trying to take the top off my Phantom 3 so that I can check for loose cables. After I undo the screwed as shown in the Phantom 2 video there are little locking tabs that need to be unhooked. How do you undo them without breaking them?

DJI Phantom 2 Vision: No FPV - black screen only - but it takes photo and video and store

Wed, 15 Apr 2020 13:04:34 -0700

Hi,

I have DJI Phantom 2 Vision which was working well and after a long time I took it out for shooting and found there is no FPV what so ever, although it takes pictures and video when I click from my mobile and I can see them immediately after the shoot, but no real time picture or video.

Is this something you can help me with?

Thanks

Alex

DJI Phantom 3: drone won't start and constantly beeps

Fri, 28 Jul 2023 08:19:23 -0700

I just got a new DJI Phantom 3 Standard a couple weeks ago. Today I tried to fly it (probably shouldn't have it was really windy) and on takeoff it got pulled into a tree. As it fell the battery fell out and hit the pavement. I put the battery back in, but now every time I start it it constantly beeps and the rotors twitch, but it won't let me fly. Please help me.

DJI Mavic Pro: Left rear arm support replacement part?

Tue, 21 Mar 2023 10:55:58 -0700

I had a small crash that bent up a small plastic support piece for the left rear arm.

The drone still flies, but that rotor isn't flying parallel to the ground anymore (even with some duct tape support): https://goo.gl/photos/xxZGB68M9ZvfhDt16

top view and rear view (broken support is covered in duct tape)

I found Where to buy replacement parts, but I can't tell if this part is part of the middle frame, upper shell, or bottom shell since it doesn't look like it's connected to the top or bottom shell.

DJI Phantom 4 Pro: Is this gimbal yaw motor fixable/replaceable?

Tue, 20 Sep 2022 21:12:14 -0700

Hello,

Long story short… Had a brush with a short tree. Tumbled to the ground (about 8 feet). From what I have learned, it is the “gimbal yaw motor” that is broken. Photos attached. Is this fixable?

I talked to a rep at a drone repair place and he said that if any portion of the gimbal is damaged, the entire gimbal/camera needs to be replaced.. parts $700, labor $150.

Has anyone made this repair? or can you point me to a video? I have been unable to locate one that deals with this repair.

Sun, 14 Jan 2018 21:15:05 -0700

Hi,

I crashed my drone from 8 ft.

The camera works, I can see on the screen.

The camera however, shakes uncontrollably and acts like it needs to be reset.

How do I replace the ribbon that has come loose to the camera?

Hoe do I know if I need to replace the gimbal?

Thanks

DJI Mavic Pro: Is there even any point in searching for it?

Wed, 02 Nov 2022 08:50:30 -0700

I have (well… had) a DJI Mavic Pro that dropped into a lake about 3 or 4 months ago from a height of 210 ft. My theory is that the battery may have died even though I had 21% left and was going back to land but they were the original batteries from 2017. I do wonder the odds of it being salvageable especially if the battery completely failed like I suspect. I know the last known location via the GPS but could not get a good look at where it splashed. The water depth is probably between 4 and 8 ft so it wouldn’t be too Hard to get it once I find it but it is quite a long way away from where I live and I am 16 and do not have my own vehicle or boat so I need to rely on them to get me there but I don’t want to waste their time retrieving a dead drone. Thank you. When I get home I can attach a video of flight logs if needed.

DJI Phantom 4 Pro: Little access door on one leg

Thu, 23 Aug 2018 07:42:12 -0700

I accidentally ran into a tree branch in the yard and it made the phantom 4 stop and it fell about 6 feet. One of the propellers were broken but I replaced that. A little access door on one of the legs popped off and it is not wanting to snap back on. I have tried but get to the point where I am afraid to force any more for fear of breaking it. Any suggestions?

DJI Phantom 2 Vision Plus: Loss of camera live feed

Wed, 24 Feb 2016 16:33:48 -0700

I have lost the live video feed to the ipad app. When connected I am able to pan the camera and capture a picture. I have updated all of the firmware and have the most recent app.

My app does connect correctly to another DJI so I do know that my ipad is working as should. Also, the other ipad from the other DJI cannot receive the video feed.

DJI Phantom 4 Pro Remote Controller: Remote controller battery problem

Tue, 09 Oct 2018 06:07:36 -0700

Hello,

I got a phantom 4 pro in for repair last week and it seems to be working fine except the battery for the remote last for about 10 to 15 minutes until it’s discharged. I figured it would just need a new battery for the remote but somewhere i heard that they have a common problem with some voltage regulator that causes that issues. Any one else ever experienced something like that or have fixed a case like this?

Thank you

DJI Phantom 3: HELP! Peace Corps volunteer stranded with broken DJI3

Thu, 04 Jan 2018 20:59:32 -0700

I crashed my DJI3 from about 12 feet high onto concrete.

I think I fixed everything, except the camera up/down gimbal swivel seems rough, and I get an "overheat" message. The aluminium plate on the back of the camera was dented, but I think I fixed that. I'm pretty sure it is the up/down swivel, but I can't find videos on fixing that.

Can anybody give me some advice, either in this forum, by email, YouTube, Skype or something? There are no repair places that I know of for at least three countries away!
