So I have been flying my phantom 4 around this first week or so and it has been great!
Though yesterday I had a minor crash and fall, I hit a tree at a fairly low height and speed. 1 Propeller broke others scuffed up, hit the ground landing gear first, and 1 side of the landing gear has a small crack and dent. All of this is no big deal to me. And the camera looks completely untouched and undamaged.
However, after cleaning up my drone and putting on fresh propellers. The drone can still fly great! But there is no video feed. And in the app there is an error "camera sensor error: hardware malfunction contact DJI for repair" So this is quite an issue because I can't record video or take pictures, or see where I am when flying.
So of course I can send it in for repair, but I am hesitant because I don't want it to be gone long and don't want to be charged a lot for shipping, and parts, and labor. Any one have experience with DJI repair? I may end up being charged a lot, and more may be replaced than necessary.
It's really hard for me to imagine the camera is broken. The gimbal still works great, I can adjust it manually, and with the auto gimbal thing.
I am guessing maybe a ribbon cable got damaged or pulled, or there is a connection issue somewhere from the camera to the drone. I took apart some of the connections some, but everything looks good as new. I am thinking of maybe replacing a ribbon cable, but I don't even know if that is the issue.
Anyone have any ideas? What could be wrong with it? ways to fix it? Please Help!
The error is "Camera Sensor Error" I don't know what that means, and I wish there was some documentation somewhere explaining what that error is.
