Replaced ribbon cable (Phantom 4 Pro), but now footage is glitchy/laggy/jump/choppy/not good...

[chris.janzen]

Drone crashed and broke the ribbon cable and yaw arm.

I followed a very detailed tutorial and replaced both.

Did all updates and calibrations.

The drone flys fine now (green), but the video is really laggy/glitchy/jumpy/choppy.

The video problem appears equally in all 3 places (memory card, phone preview, phone video file).

I suspect that there is a loose connection somewhere, but before I tear it apart again I thought I'd ask here...

Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated!

When replacing ribbon cables, it's important to use a genuine DJI part. Good luck

Absolutely correct. Aftermarket ribbon cables are notorious for being poor copies of the original DJI part #36.

I think you get the idea, can't cut corners on ribbon cables, OEM DJI ONLY. They are available and I have replaced several with 100% success. At least you know how to do it now.

Hi. Is Part 36 for the Phantom 4 Pro? Everywhere that sells the part 36 state that it is for the Phantom 4 only. Do the 4 and 4 Pro use the same part? Thanks for all help provided.
