phantom 4 yaw motor issue

Upstatepirate · Sep 9, 2018

I am having a problem with the yaw motor on my phantom 4. it's kind of free moving as if the motor isn't controlling it. It happens when hovering, flying straight, turning, ascending, descending, just not when it's sitting still like the other posts I've seen. I can post video of this occurring during flight, or from the drone if necessary.

What do you guys think it is?

Any hard landings? It may be a damaged sensor on the yaw motor. Sorry i didn't see your post sooner.

I am still thinking it is a bad sensor. U are upstatepirate. Do u live in upstate NY? I am near Rochester. I repair these cameras and would be glad to look at it for u. If you come here there is no charge. I have a couple of those cameras on the shelf. Ok I checked and see where u really are. too far to drive. I will pm u
