    The Dreaded Drone Crash

    As I read Phantom Pilots with interest daily, I never have to wait very long to hear of an unfortunate drone crash. Phantom gimbals and landing gear seem to take the worst of the spanking. In 8 years of flying drones, I've only crashed twice and never with my P4P v2. My first drone was a...

    P4P v2.0 Battery Signal Error

    Had a (seemingly minor) crash with my P4P V2.0 in 2019, wouldn't fly because of battery signal error on all batteries.

    P4P interchangeable parts

    I repair drones on the side for fun and a bit of money. I was thinking it might be a good idea to buy a virgin drone from DJI to swap parts with a broken drone to diagnose issues in the broken drone. I would then buy the needed part online after I figure out which one is malfunctioning. So...

I believe the gimbal motors all get calibrated as one unit at the factory and replacing motors can throw this off. can anyone confirm? I was able to put a non native pitch motor onto a gimbal...
