DJI Phantom 4 Pro Remote Controller: Remote controller battery problem

Tue, 09 Oct 2018 06:07:36 -0700

Hello,

I got a phantom 4 pro in for repair last week and it seems to be working fine except the battery for the remote last for about 10 to 15 minutes until it’s discharged. I figured it would just need a new battery for the remote but somewhere i heard that they have a common problem with some voltage regulator that causes that issues. Any one else ever experienced something like that or have fixed a case like this?

Thank you

DJI Phantom 3: HELP! Peace Corps volunteer stranded with broken DJI3

Thu, 04 Jan 2018 20:59:32 -0700

I crashed my DJI3 from about 12 feet high onto concrete.

I think I fixed everything, except the camera up/down gimbal swivel seems rough, and I get an "overheat" message. The aluminium plate on the back of the camera was dented, but I think I fixed that. I'm pretty sure it is the up/down swivel, but I can't find videos on fixing that.

Can anybody give me some advice, either in this forum, by email, YouTube, Skype or something? There are no repair places that I know of for at least three countries away!

Parrot AR.Drone: What is the best glue for repairing the expanded polystyrene?

Mon, 12 Jul 2021 14:22:45 -0700

Hi,

I have used the AR drone twice and have already caused significant damage to the expanded polystyrene - the piece the camera fits on has all but snapped off.

I have made the mistake of using polystyrene cement on it which DOES NOT work. This glue is meant for high density polystyrene; the cement melts lower density stuff.

I've had a look around and people seem to suggest all sorts of glues: epoxy, copydex, foam-safe superglue, etc...

Has anyone experimented and have a definitive answer?

DJI Mini 2: ESC error after only 58 minutes of flight.

Sat, 13 Dec 2025 02:16:03 -0700

I had flown my mini 2 for 58 mins in total. And left it for a month, when I came back from my travels. I had neatly packed it in its bag inside my closet.

I turned on the mini 2 and it gave me an error ESC. Nothing worked, no updates, it clocks out at 80%, no company help, as I bought it in the USA, but live in Europe.

I'm stuck, it's an $800 brick now. Can you help fix it, I'm super girlie and have none of the gadgets on the fixit page!!! Don't know what to do!

DJI Mini 4 Pro: Head scratcher with this lil guy

Tue, 29 Apr 2025 04:17:10 -0700

I bought a crashed drone online to refurbish and sell as I do quite often. It needed a front left arm replacement “no problem”

It only had a cannot take off error due to the arm.

I professionally replaced the front left arm. when soldering I made sure to do it very quickly to not heat up the ESC board.

I put it back together gently.

When booting it back up, I was encountered with multiple gimbal errors

Gimbal stuck. Make sure gimbal cover is removed and
manually check whether gimbal can rotate freely (Code:⏎
1d010002)⏎
Gimbal error. Restart aircraft (Code: 1dOc0003;⏎
1dOc0004; 1d0e0001

Nothing was done to the gimbal during the repair, but I went through the gimbal took it apart tested the PTZ coax cable, it tested fine. Checked the gimbal motors. Even doing a DJI factory test by wiggling parts of the wire and physically inspected lines, all good

When booting the drone back up for the first 5 to 10 seconds the gimbal seems fine. Then suddenly goes limp and is unresponsive. I rebooted and tried again and then it seemed fine. Then I rebooted again and it went back to being limp after a few seconds.

I did a IMU compass Calibration. Updated the firmware refreshed the firmware. Factory reset the drone. When trying to calibrate using DJI assistant, it stops at 10%. Physical inspection shows everything is fine the buckles, the connectors, the boards don’t seem to have any burn marks. Check for resistance on the gimbal motors. Everything seems in order.

What can I do next?
