Anyone know where I can buy the voltage monitor IC chip for phantom 4 pro?

Hi everyone, I had my p4p+ in storage for last 18 months and when I recently went to use it I discovered that the RC would only charge to 3 flashing lights - approx 69%. When I would turn on the RC the battery would drain extremely fast, and when I connected to the drone and attempted a test...

Very good info mate thanks heaps. I think I’m giving up on the idea of the little pin prick now. Think it’s game over for my p4p. Such is life.

Yeah sorry I should have probably explained that a little better. Honestly I’ve never really been happy with this drone - I mainly use it for stills and the quality, or should I say lack of sharpness around the edges is actually quite appalling for its price. It’s complete mush. Yep it cost a...

Thanks for the info greatly appreciated. When you say the voltage became more unpredictable, was that immediate or slowly over time? And is it possible this was coincidence of an already failing battery? It’s strange I’ve been using these original 2 for so long whilst swollen and not once...

Two of my original p4p batteries are very swollen. They’ve been swelling up more and more for around a year now and they’re now to the point where it is somewhat difficult to get them in and after flying they are very difficult to get out. I have another battery that I purchased maybe a year...

Hi all, Haven’t used my p4p for quite a while up until the last few months but when taking stills I’ve noticed a definite (and quite significant) loss of image sharpness around the edges of the stills? I’m shooting in 2:3 aspect ratio as I believe that to be utilising the maximum amount of...

Thank you all for the very useful information. Needless to say I now know how to properly calibrate my RC sticks and to not launch my drone from my car [emoji106]

Interesting mate, I actually took off from the hood of my truck as I was in a very dusty and dirty area so didn’t want to launch from ground. The hood is all metal so this may explain it?! Surely once it had taken off it would have corrected or no ??

When you say gimbal dial left then right you mean the dial that controls the camera going up and down right? Probably a dumb question sorry but just want to be sure so I can then put this in to action. So if you then do this as you say with the dial what happens? Does the process then finish...

Hi all, I updated my p4p+ about a month ago shortly before leaving to travel around Australia for a year. Ever since I’ve updated, every time I turn on the RC it starts continuously beeping - I then have to go into the settings and calibrate the controller sticks. The ridiculous thing is when...

I solved it by downloading the firmware from the dji website onto a micro sd and inserting it into the controller and installing the update locally. Ridiculous if you ask me but seems okay not. Let’s just hope my bird don’t drop out the sky!

Mate the P4P+ are nothing short of a nightmare. I personally think it’s due to the rubbish android system they’ve paired it up with. Have you actually set it up yet? Turned it on and been bombarded with the update messages and no fly zone updates etc ? If not let me know and I’ll explain to you...

Hi all, I just turned on my controller for the first time in quite a while - it immediately prompted me to update which I did - it was a 700mb odd download. Update done no problem. Now when I go into settings and click “update” and tap “check for updates” it says “Failed to check firmware...

Hey all, I flew my p4p a while ago for the first time in probably a year and it was advising me to update. I know one of the updates since my last update was bricking batteries and causing all sorts of other issues but I’m just wondering what the current firmware is like? I’m soon to be...
