    I have a phantom 4 controller/xmitter that will not sync.

    Well... It doesn't work on my Samsung 7 or my Tab E and I don't have any other devices to try it on. I wish there was a patch to hook it up to a laptop or pc, if only for troubleshooting. Thanks for the suggestion. If I have a chance to try another device I'll give it a shot.

    Another late reply. I'll give your suggestion a shot. I've got bigger fish to fry now, tho. My video has gone out on the P4. Great!

    Well, that worked ... to some degree. So, many thanks for your help! Definitely hooked up to the drone but there are issues. No picture on the screen. Says it's ready to fly in dji go but when you select take off, it comes back take off failed. Also, I can't save changes in the settings...

    Sir, you have been very helpful. I will try the things you suggested as soon as tonight. I have one further question at this point: What is the "right dial"? Thanks so much again.

    I have a phantom 4 controller/xmitter that will not sync.

    I have a new transmitter for my phantom 4 (new used) it started out with the charging led problem where once plugged in one led would blink a few times and then it would go dead. Refloated the solder around the relevant connections and it's now charging and behaving like it is supposed to...

    External battery for Phantom 4 Controller?

    I know others have thought of this but I can't find a good reference in the P4 forum. So, I'll try: Has anyone solved a weak controller battery by just plugging in an external battery to the controller as if it were charging while running? If the controller won't let you do this, can you run...

    Move Battery out of Transmitter (P3P)

    great idea(s). Do you think an external battery would work for a phantom 4?

    Only 3 (of 4!) LEDs flash while charging.

    Apparently, perfectly good batteries are doing this. Suggestions are that it's the RC main board. DJI validated this.

    Forced to Take DJI Exam?!?

    I think you've touched on the problem for me. At some point experience ruining accident reduction methods to the point that the reason for doing something in the first place is gone, or relying on personal responsibility of operators to mitigate risk. Neither is perfect and the inevitable...

    Forced to Take DJI Exam?!?

    You are right. Another more basic issue is this: Even with the exams, tests, built in distance and height limitations, etc., There are still going to be accidents from "duffusses" and experienced with brain farts and equipment failures. Just look at General Aviation. Look at the Automobile...

    Forced to Take DJI Exam?!?

    Excuse me... is that the option you want?? Their is a huge licensing system in place so you can drive your "chevy". If the car mfgs took care of licensing and testing (see dji exam) things would be much worse. Yeah, that's the ticket.... Ticketing and fines, court fees. Just don't get...

    phantom 4 R/C is charging my S7

    Can anyone predict damage to phone or R/C will occur if you cut wire #1? Will the connection try to load V+ through the D+ line and blow the buffer circuit or something else as sinister?
