DJI Phantom 4: dji phantom 4 esc error

Sun, 30 Jul 2017 16:27:47 -0700

I have a practically new equipment, only had three flights.

On the second flight the warning appeared and then on the test the next day it worked correctly. I understand that is a very frequent error in Phantom 4, but nobody wants to tell you what is the secret to solve because a friend took it to support DJI and quickly solved it for payment. That seems unfair to me.

DJI Phantom 4: Constant beeping (1 long 2 short) coming from controller

Tue, 10 Sep 2019 16:11:56 -0700

Hi there

My DJI P4 has recently started constantly beeping (1 long 2 short) from the controller but still operates and fly's the drone without issues. No error messages come up on the GO app and all firmware is up to date. It only started intermittantly beeping a week after the controller got a light spray of water but now its every time. If it still operates and fly's without issues water may not be the problem?

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers

Eric

DJI Phantom 4: Gimbal issues- horizontal camera movement

Wed, 30 May 2018 07:45:20 -0700

After a small accident the camera goes back and forth horizontally. I did a calibration and it got a little better. Camera shot is clear but with a constant horizontal back and forth. What can I do or is a repair shop my best bet. Drone has only had four flights

DJI Phantom 4: Problem with updating firmware.

Thu, 17 Nov 2016 16:57:19 -0700

I bought a phantom 4 and received it on Nov. 4th. I went through all the procedures that I read and watched on youtube to set it up. The on thing that never came up was the firmware update. I have never received a notification to update. I looked at the dji assistant 2 and saw that their was a firmware update for the quadcopter, but nothing for the remote. From what I've read and the videos I've what is that the first thing you do is update the quadcopter and the remote control. Has anyone else experienced this, and is there a fix. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

My drone does not stay connected long enough to DJI Assistant 2 for me to calibrate the vision sensors, it says Lost connection, ensure flight controller is connected to your computer and the Mc output on the left side shows a red cross. I would like to know is there a way for me to test my flight controller board before I replace it.

DJI Phantom 4: Done not working correctly after update

Mon, 02 Nov 2020 13:29:29 -0700

I was prompted to update the drones firmware and so followed the directions to do so. After a failed attempt at 99% it will fly but without any camera feed back. In the about section of the go ap it says for the drone unknown firmware. The controller shows the latest firmware is installed. Essentially my drone is now useless without a working camera feedback. What do I do next?

DJI Phantom 4: Fixing DJI Phantom 4 Smart Battery that has gone below reted voltage

Tue, 08 Oct 2019 15:58:20 -0700

I know I can fix this with the proper guidance. I have a DJI Phantom 4 Battery that went below the low voltage level. I know this can be fixed by just getting at the batteries and charging at a low voltage until they reach the level required by the smart battery software. The issue is I know there are other things you need to do or the battery will not work. I know this because i watched a video of one being repaired but it was in a different language and I could not figure out all the things the guy was doing to fix it. Is there anyone out there that has a guide on how to do this? Thank you!
