Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓In this guide, we'll walk through how to remove the upper shell of a DJI Matrice 210. In this instance, the strobe light on top of the aircraft had broken and was moving around freely inside the aircraft, therefore access to the interior was necessary to reattach the light.
