    Why am I constantly asked to sign in to see videos, when I'm already signed in?

    Where to get voltage chip for P4P RC?

    If you're trying to repair the remote, DJI will give you a new one if you send it in for repair, $99. I messed around with mine reflowing that chip, worked for a while then reverted to not charging fully.

    P4P Yaw motor cable replacement.

    I did it using a video like this. I used a different video, this guy is installing the new cable as he takes the old one off. Not too difficult if you have the right tools, small screwdrivers and a plastic spudger or a good fingernail. Hardest part for me was looping the new cable around the...

    My gl300c radio wont charge right

    I’ve reflowed/heated the component several times, it didn’t last. I sent the controller back to DJI for repair, it was way out of warranty, they sent me a new one for $99. That was a few years ago, who knows if they still have any.

    Wonky controller

    The P4 had an issue where the controller wouldn’t hold a charge. It was a component on the main board. I eventually sent mine back to DJI and they repaired/sent me a new controller for $99. There was a fix called reflowing the solder on the component, heating it with a heat gun. I tried it a few...

    Usb - C to Lightning Cable adapter for P4 V1

    I haven't tried that adaptor, but tried others to no avail. I returned my iPad Mini 6 that used USB-C and bought a Mini 5 that uses lightning. If you search for iPad mini and P4p V1, you'll see a few threads on the subject.

    Is it a bad idea to buy P4P V2.0 in 2023 ?

    The P4p is a great drone. Never let me down. You’d need to get an RID module to be FAA compliant. I know a lot of guys like the P4p for mapping. I also have an Air2s and haven’t touched the P4p since.

    RC Won't Charge

    Phantom 4p remotes had a problem where they would never charge fully, 4 lights. My remote would charge to 75% and be dead after flying 3-4 drone batts. There's a Youtube video that shows you how to take apart the remote and reflow a particular component on the main board. I did that a few...

    New Tablet

    Yes the Mini 5 works with my P4P V1 using Go4 and my Air2s Using DJI Fly. The reason I bought the Mini 6 was because the Air2s using DJI Fly wouldn't work with the Mini 4...only to find out that the P4P V1 wouldn't work with the Mini 6, so I took it back to Apple and bought a Mini 5 which works...

    Remedy for "strobing" prop shadows

    I had a Phantom 2 with a GoPro on a gimbal which had the same issue. After watching a video, I made a lens hood from a plastic cup in the shape of an oval, when cut in half, made the perfect shaped hood. Stuck it on with 3M double sided tape, worked perfectly. It may take some trial and error to...
