    Phantom 4 Battery Dust Cover

    Hey guys! I had 2 batteries that went bad from deep hibernation and never recovered. In taking them apart I realized that the empty battery case makes a great plug while carrying/storing the bird in my backpack. A couple of times of found lint and dust in it, so this actually keeps the battery...

    Dead batteries

    Just went through that with one of my batteries too and tried everything including taking it apart and charging the batteries separately.....like Bones used to say "He's Dead Jim". Ended up buying new. Started a thread on batteries on eBay. Beware...... I found buy new and get that piece of mind.

    Batteries

    Starz I'm totally with you on that one. There is a guy on eBay selling "New" used DJI Batteries High Cap for $140, he claims most have low cycles and he applied the firmware......is it say he will accept returns, but further down on the description it says he doesn't? I emailed me and asked him...

    Batteries

    Hey Fred, just posted my experience on eBay this week. There is another seller with 40 batteries he claims almost new. If he takes returns might try it. Not sure, might just bite the bullet and buy from DJI or B&H camera. Never thought buying a battery would be such drama. My gut feeling is buy...

    Batteries

    Just beware on eBay. I just purchased 2 DJI low capacity batteries on eBay that the seller claimed was new and sitting on a shelf. Got them early this week and they were total garbage....went into deep hibernation and wouldn't charge at all. I was lucky enough that the seller worked with me...

    Batteries

    I would buy only OEM for a few dollars more and piece of mind. It would suck if the battery totally failed and the bird fell out of the sky. They sell OEM batteries on ebay but I just recently opted to buy new instead since my last battery failed to come back from hibernation.

    Dump the P3 SE and go P4?

    Thanks for all the great input. I took the P3 SE out one more time and hated it. Video was choppy and distance totally sucked. Few times only got out maybe 1000 FT and lost video & returned home. Took it back to Best Buy before my month was up and ordered a P4 Advanced. Will be here this Friday...

    Dump the P3 SE and go P4?

    I originally had a P2 Vision and had a lot of fun with it even with it's limited range and glitchy video. The cameras died and I decided to up grade to a new bird. I got the P3 SE because of its reliability and the upgrades they did to it. I've flown it a few times and really disappointed with...

    Almost Instant Low Battery Warning

    To be honest they have been great. Used them now for the last couple of months without having any issues. Flight times vary from about 22 minutes to 18 depending on wind and other factors. Both dji and litchi apps gave me accurate battery information during flight. Really happy with them so far.

    Anyone Bought a Drone from Tomtop in China?

    I contacted DJI today after work. They claim they are a reseller for DJI and will pay the shipping back if not working or damaged. The jury is still out for me....not sure I want that headache..... DJI Hello, Michael. What can I do for you today? Me I was thinking of buying a drone from...
