Hey Guys, I'm looking for maintenance manuals for my drones. In my country you are required to have a maintenance manual issued by the manufacturer. Thanks
So I have this Phantom. It has a Battery. Lasts around 20 minutes or so. Also have a car charger to charge away from home. I am in the market for an extra battery or three. My question is how long of a cool down time is sufficient, adequate, and or responsible for the longevity of the drone's...
Working on a project in a tropical environment with a P4P. We're flying mapping missions with DJI Ground Station. We've got about 80hrs on the system an I'm starting to worry about the motors and ESCs. We run about 10 batteries per day for a week at a time. What's the lifespan or MTBF of those...
So, the word on the street is now "do not cycle the batteries anymore!" and "you'll damage your batteries doing this" and other comments like "they don't have a memory effect."
Hmmmmm. Bit confused now. So where did this info come from exactly? Have DJI sent written confirmation that their...
Hey Everyone-

Is anyone performing periodic acoustic spectrum analysis and temperature monitoring to monitor the health of the motors on their drone(s)? Seems like doing so might be cheap insurance.
I have inexpensive IR thermometer and recently loaded an acoustic spectrum analyzer app into my I-Phone. I'm...
Hello P4 pilots,
So I just called DJI about this question and got a kinda unclear answer. So should I discharge my batteries to 50 percent with that battery discharger DJI sells for 100 dollars or set the battery discharger to 2-3 days in the DJI Go app. I have 4 batteries. I do tend to use all...
Does anyone have ANY info on when or how to lubricate Phantom4 bearings. DJI seems to be totally silent on the issue and motor bearings on a P4 are inaccessible. Could it be they are sealed and "good for life" or what? With over 40hrs on the motors now I'm getting nervous and beginning to worry...
I believe DJI must include maintenance schedules, procedures, and checklists for preventative, routine, and periodic, maintenance, in the User Manual. Not only should the schedules be published, but so should procedures and checklists be published as well. It seems that since DJI does not...
I've used this stuff for years now on all my cars and trucks so I thought I'd pose it as a protectant for the Phantom. Here's some product info from the manufacturer:
"303 Aerospace Protectant
Product Description
Originally engineered for aerospace and aviation applications, 303 Aerospace...
