Parrot Bebop Drone: Bebop drone - Camera front glass

Tue, 11 Feb 2020 12:56:21 -0700

Hello.

I have scrached the grass of the camera (bebop drone). Is there a way to change the glass? This product (EPP nose) doesn't contain glass? I mean... the glass in front of the bebop is the camera glass without any protection?

Thanks a lot

DJI Phantom 3: Controller battery won't charge

Fri, 24 Mar 2023 13:41:02 -0700

The battery in the controller won't accept a charge. When I plug in the charger I can turn the controller on, but it won't charge, even when left plugged in for hours. Also, when plugged in and turned on, the red light next to the four white lights is illuminated. I'm guessing the battery is bad. How do I replace the battery?

DJI Mavic Pro: Where I can buy a service repair manual for the dji mavic pro

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 20:22:43 -0700

Crashed my mavic for the first time. Accidently hit the return home button and panicked. Long story short hit a tree and fell 30 feet. Gimbal is erratic and front vision sensor error. Just wondering if there was a service/ repair manual to refer during the repair.

sharper image dx-2: The controller and the drone unit will not connect?

Fri, 31 May 2024 14:25:59 -0700

Batteries are charged on drone and remote batteries are new. Had a problem with a wire coming loose from the pc board that connected a motor. I repaired that and checked the motor before closing up the unit. Drone functioned perfectly. I closed up the unit and now the controller and the drone will not connect. I have followed the suggested procedure for connecting the unit before flight and still nothing. This is a sharper image dx-2 stunt drone Any idea what could be wrong?

Parrot Rolling Spider Minidrone: Why is my drone not stabilizing?

Thu, 25 Aug 2016 21:00:49 -0700

My drone crashed into the wall, and It appears to be in fine condition but whenever I try to fly it the back propellers fly faster than the front propellers and it causes my drone to spin out of wack. Should I buy new propellers?

DJI Phantom 2 Vision Plus: Camera Gimbal Repair and Replacement

Tue, 27 Mar 2018 08:31:05 -0700

Day one, Flight one... My Phantom 2 Vision+ took two spills and lost its pretty little camera. I'll be capable of working the metal back to fit, but the ribbon will need replacing. I've already ordered the part via ATK Drone Services, but a detailed disassembly of the camera gimbal unit would be very useful. Thanks!

DJI Mavic Mini: Help with lost mini resistor

Tue, 17 Jan 2023 15:50:35 -0700

Hi.

I managed to lose a mini resistor when I was replacing the gimbal cable after a crash with my DJI Mavic Mini...

Could you help me with the information about the resistor? It's the one on the outerside by the connector of the flat gimbal cable on the mainboard. I've attached a picture showing it.

Regards Lars Jonsson.

DJI Phantom 3: Phantom 3 Professional crashed vertical down

Sun, 05 Sep 2021 00:45:52 -0700

I was flying with strong GPS signals in wide open grassland with no trees, building & towers. Within 7 minutes of flight, the Phantom 3 started to spun 360 degree and with no control it crashed vertically down. The crash resulted to bad damage on the shell body, Gimble arm broke with camera ( although camera looks fine), landing gear crack and props got destroyed. The firmware V 1.2.6 was fully updated, compass calliberation, and home point was done as per routine procedure. Still, it crashed.

Can somebody advise me whether this is a manufacturing defect or Pilot error? Any idea is there a vendor who can repair?

Hi, I broke my gimbal off my mavic pro. I tore both my ribbon cable and the wire cable harness. I have the necessary know how and tools to make the repair and I found the necessary ribbon cable and replacement vibration absorbing mounting plate. However, i cannot find the wire cable harness with metal ends that connects the camera to the board for sale anywhere. Do you have any broken cameras around that may have this cable on them that hasn't been damaged? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
