Wow this thread got emotional. Lol. Some of you guys are a trip.

Doubt it's the props. These stress cracks are unfortunately nothing new and quite common. I'm no engineer but I think it's from DJI using crap polymers and over torquing screws during assembly. Betting a lot of the cracks start out as hairline and exist out of the box and not noticed until a few...

You didn't know? DJI never has an issue... According to DJI. Lol. But yes, it's happening and like anything, things can fail. Just my 2 cents for a fix.

Reading all these reports of batteries not connecting on both snaps, or other reasons batteries falling out and phantoms crashing. Got me to thinking. So I came up with this 'fix'. It's lightweight. Rock solid. Battery will not budge even when I press release buttons. All I have to do is keep a...

Anyone have pictures or video on how to do the popsicle stick/rubber band fix?

On further inspection I found another hairline crack at another vent. Then found another place where the frame chiped on the edge of the battery compartment. Ridiculous. I used super glue and baking soda on the arms but will have to be extremely careful with a fix on the spot by the battery...

Was unaware of how common this issue was until I started digging around. Wow, dji needs to beef up these frames. My p4p was bought in May. No crashes, no rough landings. Never dropped. Went to go up yesterday and found a crack. Question, can you patch these with super glue and baking soda? Or...

P mode with the new props has been fine, however... I've noticed something peculiar when using the "low noise" props in S mode. When in full throttle, it sounds like the motors are pulsating. Like the rpm is pulsing up and down. Very noticeable. When running the standard props full throttle...

I stated before that it seemed smoother and it does... In gps mode. However I tried them out in sport mode today and it's slower (topping out around 38 to 40mph) and on a couple of fly by's it sounded weird and choppy. Weather permitted I'm going to do a solid comparison of both prop types in...

Maybe I can clarify. The red triangle did not reflect the direction the drone was traveling. For example, I would be facing the drone flying it straight away from me, but the red triangle would indicate that it flew to my left or behind me. This issue has stopped for me. Here’s what I did...

I think you answered your own question. But personally I would hold off. I’m betting we are going to see something new from DJI soon.

Mine came in today. I can definitely tell a difference on my p4p. Wife and neighbor both said it was much less noticeable with the new props. Probably just in my head, but it seemed a little smoother in flight as well. Thumbs up here.

Welcome. I’m still new to the forum myself and I’ve found it full of great stuff and some knowledgeable and nice folks. I’ve got both the p4p and the spark. I still find myself flying my spark a LOT more than my p4p. Not talking down my p4p, I absolutely love it. That little spark is a...

Thank you all for the advice. I will give these suggestions a try and let you know.

I did notice that the north indicator was not where it should be. There were no errors reported. What's extremely odd is that when I switch to my spark it works just fine. Only with my p4p is this acting crazy.
