I think after my strange P4P crash, that as part of a service interval say of 200-300 flights or a few years, you need to re seat all the plugs between the circuit boards.... or at least check the plus have their locking screws in place holding them connected.

I am now thinking of opening up the drone and checking all the connections between the boards are sound... the locking ribbon cables still have their retaining screws etc...

We can rule out the battery and connection as the voltages and current all all reading and working? It would be a fault that has not shown itself since.... so maybe a connection to one of the motors or escs? Dry joint or a bad connection? Any problems with these things that often happen...

On a serious note.... if a bird had stopped one of the propellors the drone would give a motor obstructed warning message? However yes the theory that 3 of the motors were working overtime does seem to tie in with the current draw and descent rate. If I had not found the drone it would look like...

Also it is not then in free fall but dropping at 10m/s is going down super fast, way above its allowed max descent speed?

All the way through 17.35 I am giving a right rudder input and the nose is still turning to the left..... its only at 17.36 the nose starts turning to the right...

Thanks for your input... it is for sure strange to me. Is it safe to assume that the compass is correct seeing as it also reported 25 compass errors on the way down.... ie it may show it was steady, but could be spinning? Although the rudder input does seem to correspond with a change in the...

As said when looking at Airdata... the amps pulled during the whole flight were almost all green below 15A... but during its free fall it was purple... pulling over 25A... giving 25 Not Enough Force/Esc Error warnings, and 25 compass error warnings (compass could be due to it spinning?)

To add on to this, here are the warnings I get from airdata...: during the final fall: N 17m 34s 53.5 m 139 m Warning Gimbal Roll Reached Movement Limit O 17m 35s 53.4 m 140 m Low Risk Compass Error (repeated 9 times) P 17m 36s 51.9 m 143 m Low...

Hi there guys, hoping someone has some sensible input on this... flying P4P in 15mph gusting to 25mph winds... windy but not too much... the drone has around 200 plus flights on it and have flown in worse... however the only thing I can think of is that it was hit by some kind of swirling...

Oh and just to confirm the drone has never had any accidents.. never been knocked or dropped or anything.. always transport it in its case with the foam and camera support on the camera to support the gimbal..

Thanks for the replies but the top image looks like it has taken the picture with the shutter still opening? And I’m pretty sure no camera would record zebras and over exposure warnings to a final image?

Had my Phantom 4 pro for over a year and it has worked perfecty... today took some photos.. and the screen was flickering.. and these are the pictures recorded to the SD card... have I got a shutter issue? A ribbon issue to the camera? Any suggestions appreciated... have come home and over...
