Thank you for the offer, but before you go to any trouble let's confirm ... these parts are from a P4Pro version 1?? My camera works fine and the pitch motor seems to be fine. I have read/been told that DJI used 2 different pitch control boards in the P4Pro. How can we confirm that what you...

I've traded thoughts with DroneTed on this. He suggested I replace the pitch motor control board; so far I haven't been able to find one. You suggest the main board in the camera. Are you and DroneTed referring to the same part? If so, is there an official name for that part? (it would really...

Thanks for your input. Will keep looking for a solution.

Yes, several times but no change in the gimbal's behavior. I thought maybe the pitch motor was weak, allowing the gimbal to "sag", so I replaced the motor and saw no change. The C1 button causes the gimbal to snap back and forth 90-degrees as it should, except that it starts from the "sagging"...

Not doubting your opinion, but wonder what issues you might have had with later versions. My P4P has a gimbal tilt/pitch issue (after the start-up dance it settles at about 15-20 degree down from horizontal and looks a little backwards when it should be looking straight down). Don't know if...

Thanks for the photo! Very much appreciated!!

Yes, a photo would be very helpful, if it's not too much trouble. Thank you. Do you know ... are the pitch board for the P4 Standard and P4Pro interchangeable?

I replaced the pitch motor with no improvement, so it must be something else. The guy I bought it from said he left the gimbal guard on once, but I don't know how long it took him to shut down or remove the guard. I don't know enough about the workings ... when you run an IMU calibration, is...

Still looking for a solution to a gimbal issue. I have a Phantom4Pro-v1, bought used. The seller said he started it once with the gimbal guard still in place, but it appeared to be working OK. Too late, I noticed that upon start-up, the gimbal does it's normal dance but after it finishes the...

In a couple of past posts I read that there is a compass in the forward leg of both landing gears. I’ve learned there are also antenna wires in the landing gear legs. With my RID module mounted on the rear leg of the landing gear the compass reports as normal, but the RTH button on the...

I’ve only flown it a couple of times since attaching the RID, and didn’t notice anything unusual in simple flights. What sort of issues do you think it might cause? Perhaps I’d notice something abnormal if I were watching for something specific. Thanks!

I know this is an old thread, and my pitch motor works, but the camera ”slips” and rotates downward about 30 degrees after the startup routine completes. The thumb wheel will rotate the camera upward so that the lens axis is parallel to the ground (0 degrees) but when the camera is in that...

So they know I've been flying in a community park, or recording construction progress, or you've been shooting real estate video or conducting a search for a lost hiker, or whatever. How is that a threat to national security, even if the amount of data they collect from me & you is multiplied...

I'm flying a P4 Standard. If I chose to fly a map pattern all of the photos are stored on the SD card. Is there evidence that the data is communicated to China while the drone is in flight? When the drone lands, I shut it off .... data can't be transferred if the drone isn't powered up, can...
