While off, is it normal for the Gimbal on a Phantom to make a slight clicking noise once, when it's almost rotated all the way (think 95%+ rotation)? I calibrated my Gimbal, am not getting any error messages and the thing appears to be level, which is why I was wondering if this one click was...

I kept the drone in my line of sight, so I had plenty of juice to get home. In fact, the drone was overhead with 30% remaining. I ended up seeing it veer away a bit (probably from the wind) and so tried to manually adjust it overhead again. Also, I was 30-40 yards away from any trees; the...

How can I avoid losing my orientation with the drone (ie. front vs back)? I've had a flyaway with a much cheaper drone and managed to crash my phantom this time because I lost control directional orientation. I was stupid and tried to fix the return to home, not realizing the drone was facing...

Hey guys, This topic, like my last one, may already exist, but I was wondering what were the biggest tips you could provide to avoid flyaways/crashes? I've been blessed that despite the battery being ejected from my drone, during a crash, only the legs were smashed (at least to my...

******, you're right. Up on the phone app controll log is forward. Guess I could have done more damage. Just hate beating up an $800 device. Looks like they prob won't give me a new one. Oh well.

decreasing throttle shouldn't push the drone back, should it? Usually, it comes down when I decrease the throttle without a lot of backwords motion. That, I don't understand. How do I know if the drone is damaged? The gimble rolled after the crash (ie. it still seemed to move-I did a quick...

Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback. Doesn't pressing the left joystick down decrease throttle? I was trying to bring the drone down hard because I saw it start to veer off. It didn't really reaspond well. Also, it's definitely not going the direction i'm telling it to go. Towards the...

I'll get a picture later. According to the phone app, the drone did not go the direction that I tried to steer though. I was steering left and the drone continued to fly backwords. I only started to try controlling it, when I realized it wasn't going to land correctly.

Hi, I'm new to this forum, so I appologize if I'm not posting properly or in the correct area. I wish I came here with better news, but unfortunately, I just crashed my Phantom 4. I'm sure many people post about thi on the forum. In my case, the drone was flying great and I didn't receive...
