I'm dumping everything...just bought a Phantom 4. Extra batteries, props, extended wifi cards installed (accessory bay is inoperative) backpack, hard case (unused) spare gimbal, antenna mod (less amplifiers and battery..that's going on the new P4.) I've been watching a friend's P4 fly, saw the...

I'm getting rid of everything...just bought a Pahmtom 4.

So after another full reset, and at least 6 successful boot ups last Sunday, I put Solo away, until today (Tuesday) I decided to take it out and see what happens. Well, back to square one - boot up, gimbal wakes up, gimbal falls limp, gimbal wakes back up and promptly goes full down, followed by...

Certainly nothing is perfect, though I've had a chance to watch the P4 in action in our local flying group - zero issues for a couple of months so far. Meanwhile, I was grounded again today with some funky behavior with my Solo (after a failed gimbal recently....) Pretty much running out of...

Relatively new, and worked fine until this week...one more issue and I'm off to get a new Phantom 4.

Flashing red light on the charger brick, with accompanying flashing lights on the battery. Same symptom regardless of which battery attached. Has anyone seen this before?

Did the battery pull from the controller, and the stick calibration, we'll see :-)

That's' right...but I haven't been able to repeat the behavior after the stick calibration....could that be it?

Ok, I thought that was abnormal and a contributing symptom. I've been able to restart several times now uneventfully, maybe just a temporary anomaly.

"After half a dozen power ups, same sequence, except the gimbal decides to go full face down after going limp for a short period, and Solo will not connect to the tablet or controller. The green pulsating light on the gimbal stays on and looks normal. Grounded." As I originally posted, after a...

I'll give it a go, that's the only think I haven't done..

Ok, just about have had it with Solo...patience has run out, sadly. Latest symptom is this: Boot up Solo and controller, Solo boots up fine except that at the completion of the boot up, the gimbal goes limp for about 5 seconds, and then recovers to level. Subsequent flight is okay, LED lights...

The HeadPlay - these works beautifully. The video comes from the HDMI-out port on the controller. You won't see the OSD information, but that's minor compared to the awesome view you'll get with these goggles. You won't win a beauty contest on the flying line, but they do work really well. I...

I suppose it made sense to trust a bearing manufacturer that has a decent reputation in a niche market, designed specifically for high speed applications. Personally, I'm less concerned about cost, while putting my trust in outfits that have a lot of expertise. To each their own :-)

Hunting around, this oil looks to be perfect for lubricating these motors. HIGH SPEED OIL
