    Phantom 4 Pro - Battery contacts melted!

    OK i got my “repaired” Phantom 4 Pro today with what appears to be a new battery. There is one problem though, they returned the same P4 I sent in ( no issue there) but they did absolutely nothing to fix it. It still requires activation on power up, but no repairs performed whatsoever. The...

    Phantom 4 Pro - Battery contacts melted!

    Same problem with melted battery contacts on my refurbished Phantom 4 pro after only one month and maybe 10 flights. Totally unacceptable. Caught it early this time and only melted one contact pin. I was using the same battery DJI sent with the refurb. Proof this IS a design flaw and DJI only...

    Phantom 4 Pro - Battery contacts melted!

    I was able to remove the 100 foot restriction today after updating DJI go and logging in. The Phantom 4 Pro refurb works well and I haven't found any issues. Nice to know I'm not grounded where I normally fly. So, DJI did a pretty good job in my case. I didn't have DJI refresh, and the Phantom...

    Phantom 4 Pro - Battery contacts melted!

    Same problem here. Didn’t understand why the battery was stuck in the Phantom until I got some thick rubberized gloves, ripped it out, and saw wonderful crispy smokehouse battery contacts! Do I just fix the thing myself (and buy a new battery) or trust DJI assclown repair department with total...

    Dji store

    Stupid DJI shipping policy......... I never order anything from the DJI store any more simply because trying to receive any package from them ruins an entire day. I had some DJI credit worth about $17 so I ordered some Phantom 4 pro propeller mounts. Naturally FedEx comes while I'm at work...

    Mavic Release Discussion

    Am I the only one hoping the Mavic was going to be a racing drone? Can't really justify getting another camera drone. I have a P3P and Inspire already.

    What's this thing on the Headplay strap?

    I noticed that with my headplay too. Is the rear mounted GoPro to see behind you, or is it just a way for headplay to buy a cheaper strap for their products?

    Why is DJI Go always asking me to buy a Phantom 4?

    Every time I open DJI Go, the splash screen shows the Phantom 4 and has a buy now link. Geez DJI, I just got a Phantom 3 Professional then an Inspire 1, what more do they want from me?

    GIVEAWAY: Phantom 4 (winner = lalvar40)

    Is this a beginner or advanced course? If it's an advanced course, it could probably just cover getting good video as I still struggle with this occasionally. Maybe advanced flying in ATTI mode? A friend of mine recently got his first drone, a P3S, and I've had some experience teaching him...
