Controller screw size?

[Buffalo Bill]

Hi All,
I had an amazing time in Hawaii and learned a lot about my Phantom 4. On my last take off, at the Makena State Park, Big Beach, Maui, I felt the little screw on my controller holding my display in place fall out into my foot, then into some vines on the beach. Anyone know the screw size?

I don't know the size but you can be sure it's metric.
I would go to an auto parts store and try different sizes till you find it.
Some Home depots have metric hardware also. Not hanging in the little bags, these would be in pull out drawers.

Yep. Thanks. I'll give it a try.

Hi Bill, the screw size is 3mm. I have had the same problem so I used a slightly longer cap head screw with a lock nut on the other side.
( 1 M3 * 16 cap head. 1 M3 plain nut.)

Just looked at your photo again. It looks like you are missing another part there, there should be a spacer that fits through the attachment on your controller.

I think you'll find it's M4..not M3.Thread Pitch phantom 4 remote

Thanks, guys. I'll try both.

The locknut seems like a great idea!

M4 with a locknut. Won't have that thang fall off again!
