Thanks!
Thumbs up for taking pictures along the way ... the absolutely best information for a tinkerer ... I do it often when doing mechanical work on my vehicles along with bagging and tagging.
It really does help.
Many thanks, I hope I never have to do this, but I am confident I can thanks to your experience. My P2V was simple compared with the P4.
I have repaired many laptops etc, and it is always good to learn from others, youtube is usually my first call,thanks.
The silicone is not completely necessary, although it does help keep everything in place once the connectors are snapped together. One thing you might find helpful is that when you connect the flat four-wire cables to the two legs that have the sensors, the end of the cable that connects to the board inside the landing gear gets laid on top of the fixed connector and you push it straight on to snap it in place. It is not a plug that you push on from the bottom; rather, you lay the two parts on top of each other and snap them together.
omg I was struggling with 9:33 for SO LONG ON MY OWN before I found your video! was trying to slide it in and found it impossible! line it up on top and press it in is the way to go! THANK YOU
Awesome. Many thanks for taking the time. I have to replace the shell myself. This was very helpful.
Thanks for an excellent "how-to" video, and your time putting it all together. Helpful tips also appreciated!
+Barrie McArthur hey you're welcome!
Great vid Hosh. I had to replace my landing gear but ended up taking the Phantom apart because the clip in the leg got buggered when I tried to remove it. :(
Tip for those doing this - be very very very VERY careful with the screws that hold the little metal retaining plates in. I lost one screw in spite of being very careful. I didn't drop it, I had all the screws in a bowl it just disappeared. It's only $8 for a screw kit but $18 for shipping a total of $26 so I can replace one screw.
Totally good advise with the spludger (plastic pry bar) a screw driver would have really left a mess.
Oh well, I'll have spares if I lose any more. :D
Great video , Where did you get the parts from i just crashed mine , it said drone disconnected and just fell out the sky i think the battery wasnt in there tight :(
It happen to me few months ago. Still battling to get it back on. I got most of my parts at aliexpress
Metroplex Hus LLC that’s exactly what happened to me! Just the other day, gonna try to fix it...
Many thanks for the info. I had a fight with a tree and this was a great help to enable me to carry out the repairs myself.Keep up the good work
Thanks man! This is just what I what I was looking for, The other tear down posts moved too fast for my speed of repair.
Thank you so much for making this, I did the exact same thing to my Phantom 4, and was curious if I could repair it myself.
the landing gear cables also have numbers next to them that correspond to the numbers stamped on the inside of the landing gear. I just replaced the shell on my p4 and it won't turn on now, the only problem I had when replacing the shell was one of the antenna? cables pulled out but I don't know if that would cause the entire aircraft not to power
ive been waiting soooo long for this
+Brett Ward I hope it helps! If it doesn't, contact me.
thank you for the video, it has been very useful to repair my ph4 pro after a crash.
I had to change the left landing gear.
greetings from France.
Thanks for watching.
Seriusly. I juat search for phanthom 4 dissesembly and i din't even expect to find your video about even remotley into that topic. But i like it. Waching my favorite youtubers dissesemble a 1000 buck worth of money.
For those who are trying to replace P4P Strut Covers that have popped out or otherwise been lost in an accident:
Be aware that although they may appear to be 2 matched pairs, each cover is in fact UNIQUELY DIFFERENT and has an ID # 1-4 embossed on the inside to support this. Each cover MUST be matched to the correct Strut opening (I am awaiting Cover assignment info from DJI). Once correct assignment is made, assemble Cover onto Strut as follows:
First, note each cover has a snap on each side and two square shaped bottom tabs and a little round top tab; there is a mating hole in the strut's interior for this tab. a) Remove any Gimbal lock attached to the Struts, if any, b) Insert the 2 bottom tabs into the opening, c) While holding the Cover in position SLIGHTLY bend the Strut in a direction opposite the opening so as to "elongate" the opening JUST enough to allow the round top tab to clear the opening, c) While holding the Strut in this position snap the cover closed then release the strut, the round tab should engage the hole and the Cover should fit flush on all sides.
The covers are designed to be held securely in this manner, they should only pop off if the strut is bent enough (as in a crash) to release the round top tab.
Great Vid Hosh
I just want to add a comment about the small covers on the landing gear
I lost one of my covers so I bought a full landing gear to get one of those tiny covers
Note all 4 covers are different
I did notice on your video Hosh that your little covers hadn't fully seated at the top
Why because of the tiny fragile dowel pin that locates in a hole on the top.
What I think needs to be done is when you insert that cover from the bottom first then finally you need to slightly pry the landing gear apart from the body and then when you have a slight gap you push the cover fully home without damaging the dowel .
Does anybody know where to buy these small covers on their own ???
Lading gear cost $37 a cover must cost 0.50 cents
Sadly, its worse that than. The "peg" or dowel as you referred to it has a larger diameter than he hole! I had to carve the peg down to get it to seat correctly.
Really good video there. All the best. Paul. 🇬🇧
Thank you Paul!
Excellent video and instruction thanks
+Fred Barney thank you!! Share it if you can. I'd appreciate it.
Thanks for this video, I hope I never have to disassemble my P4. However, the one thing I had hoped to see was how to put on the tiny covers at the top of each landing gear. One of my popped off and I have a replacement part but for the life of me I cannot get it to snap into place. Any hints on how to do this? Thanks!
+Dave Steckler nope! I have the same issue. Stupid little covers.
Please help! I also have the same problem
Same problem here man...Any idea how to do it?

Coolhand99au i emailed dji and they sent me a set of 4. Still cant get it on though! Ha
Thx. Any idea how to install that plastic cap on landing gear properly?
Yes! You need to remove some material off of the little plastic nub. The nub is a larger diameter than the landing gear hole!
HI ! WHERE CAN I FIND THE FLEX CABLES FOR MY PHANTON 4 PRO TRANSMITER ? I DAMAMAGED SOME OF THEM WHEN TREATING TO APPLY HEAT TO CIRCUIT....PLEASE
So I have a question about the landing gear access panels. How the heck do you get them popped back in? I've not been able to get them in no matter who try's. I noticed you didn't get them back in correctly either.
Carefully shave the little peg down. Its the best I could do.
Thanks for posting, was hoping you would show vid of you replacing the landing gear compass covers. I'm having a hell of a time snapping those back in. Any advice? Thx!!
+BosleyBeats ugh. I can get them right either! Idk wth is wrong with these things.
I scratched my replacement ones up fairly bad lololol. I then filed the bottom nub down and said fck it. I know the look will drive me nuts and I will have to use my DJI coverage to take care of it. Good to know i'm not alone in the stress of dealing with these damn covers!!
What is the size of Torx/allen head that you need for the landing gear ? Thanks
How much was the body frame + Landing Gear because I'm not sure if I will get the wrong one now that there is defrent types of fantom 4
No idea in today’s dollars. I did this years ago.
Very helpful video. Thanks alot
Edit; seems this was asked already!
Silly question. But how do you get the little pieces at the top of the landing gear back in? Noticed all 4 are off when you finish repair and then all 4 are on at end of video. Thanks!
The replacements have to have the tabs ground down to fit.
Yo is that all you have to do to remove/fix/replace camera?
I have a p4v2 and I screwed up by not photographing the position of the compass and GPS wire position. The problem I am having is there is only 2 wire connections not 4. And I cannot remember where these wires go. Someone please help.
What a great video. Thank you.
Thank you!
so this looks like something that needs to happen if you crack the shell of the dji p4. do you have to go through all of these steps (as they pertain to the landing gear) if your only goal is to change the landing gear? before anyone answers I completely broke the landing gear and one of the wires with the little gold snap thing got destroyed. (by destroyed I mean I screwed it up). so I think i can discern from the video it is that and that alone that is going to require me to completely disassemble and separate the shell (as shown in the video) so that I can reroute the new wire that came with the landing gear. tell me that I'm incorrect and I do not need to completely take this thing apart please please please and also please
+Cullen Darling I think you do need to spit it open. You cannot reroute the new wires without spitting the lower shell off.
hoshnasi ok. Thanks.......I think.
How do you put the covers (clips?) on the landing gear. I can't seem to snap them in place. Thanks!
+Issy Boo sand down the little nubs and push them in.
great video, I crashed mine the second day I flew it and the landing gear on one side is pretty trashed. Do you know if the Phantom 4 landing gear will work with a Phantom 4 Pro? I'd hate to get one just to find out it doesn't.
+Michael Eads it probably should. But I'm not sure. Call dji.
No, it does not. I bought a set only to find out that the P4 pro has smaller thinner landing gear.
HELP PLEASE!!!
I have a Phantom 4 Pro! Does anyone know what the clear plastic indicators inserts are called at the end of the arms that reflects the led lights? Not the clear undercover, the ones that insert at the end of the 4 arms! I lost one and can’t find them anywhere! If you know please let me know where to purchase.
Thank You!!
It doesn't look like your gimbal is physically damaged. What was the symptom after the crash? constant erratic behavior? I have crashed 2 - PH4s and both times the gimbal has gone gone crazy. I sent one back to DJI for repair and they only charged me $192 for the camera, $18 for a motor, $10 for landing gear component, and $150 labor... $370 total.... less than a gimbal. But I think the only problem may be a damaged ribbon cable.
For the second, I got new a ribbon cable and shell off amazon and will replace them tonight. Seems like everyone is having the same gimbal issues after a 'hard landing'. I really hope it is just a damaged cable.
The gimbal arm was completely bent and the camera actually disconnected itself from mount :(
Would you be interested in selling it cheap?
Do you fix drones for others too?
Bro I hav may dron sencer problem can u repair it
Hello, my friend, how did you put the landing gear caps on? I'm not getting...
+Jhonny Ebtir i haved down the little pegs until it fit.
I noticed some repair manual on your ipad, is this a manual or DJI's website?
+FotoMojo it was the ifixit blog.
sweet thanx for the info
Thanx. I crashed mine to the camera, landing gear looks to be the only thing damaged. But, when I turn it on no lights and maces a beeping noise and when it beeps the blades rock back and forth. Would that be caused by the camera or would it be something internal? Thank you for any help
+Jaffe is dahn do you mean the light under the propellers? If that is the case you could have a big problem inside.
Yes no lights but the battery
+Jaffe is dahn it could be a simple cable worked lose or a very big issue with the logic boards inside
Ok thank you Hoshnasi I am going to take it apart tomorrow. Again Thanx
Well the question is, im about to change the top shell. Pretty difficult compared to the P3P
Have you done it yet? It's not plug n play anymore haha
I have not had to swap the top shell. That is harder since you'll need to take off the motors.
Exactly! I'm on it, many wires to change haha! Have a great weekend :)
Thanks man
I need to replace my CW motor
But i need that plastic tool
Where should i buy it?
The Spudger? This will cover ALL of your needs and more. amzn.to/2kLJZMA
hoshnasi owh thank you
I'd try and buy factory parts from DJI if you can.
Please help, I can't snap back the plastic covers.. :(
+kanudoss make sure the compass and antenna cables are on the notches the align the halves and push.
Thank you!. Will try that
hoshnasi didn't work :(
@@kanudoss well. Too bad then. But i can give tou advice. Make sure the plastic snapping thing in the side of the cover are in good shape if not you can repair it with the peices that had become loose to be superglued with. But if you loose them. Well jist buy a new cover and secondly make sure there is no debris in the side of the plastic cover like tape paper ect. And make sure there is no cable just stuck in the snapping mecanism it will damage your cable and you have to buy a new one.
why phantom 4 have a internal cooler ?
Can you explain me better? I can not fit in at all. At the bottom of the caps, it has a "pin" type, I can not get through this part
+Jhonny Ebtir yes I shaved the pins down
Hey Josh, Hoping you can help me with a question I have regarding my Phantom 4,
I recently crashed my P4. I tried taking off from a friends boat but conditions were too windy.(really stupid on my part but no use crying over spilt milk)
As I took off a gust of wind blew the phantom backwards into the radar on the boat. After hitting the radar the phantom flipped and landed in the back of the boat. The props stopped spinning and it landed upside down. Thankfully it never went overboard and end up in a total loss. Since the crash I have had an issue with the Gimbal. At first it was giving me a message that the gimbal was disconnected. Also there was no signal to the ipad. Later I turned it on and the image signal came back. The gimbal was sitting skew and didn't level itself off. Also it was moving from the RC control but not has stopped working.
Now I took the camera and gimbal apart thinking maybe the ribbon cable was damaged in the accident. I cannot see any damage to the Ribbon cable.
My question for you is if I buy a new gimbal including the camera from dji will it resolve my issue? Is there anything in the body of the phantom that may be affecting the gimbal from working properly?
+Malcolm Webb I don't know to be honest. There is a floating unit under the gimbal unit that connects to the gimbal. I'm sure it's what gives the gimbal information on how to move and point. Start by doing an alignment on the gimbal. Google how to do it.
Thanks Josh. Are you referring to doing a Gimbal Auto calibration? Or are you talking about actually physically adjusting the alignment on the gimbal? If I try do the calibration the gimbal is not moving at all yet it says that the gimbal is calibrated. On the videos I find it turns and moves to calibrate itself. Right now it just is stuck and doesn't move at all.
Are the gimbal arms bent at all? If it were me, and the arms were not bent I would attempt a wire harness exchange. Since that is MUCH cheaper than a new gimbal then see where you end up.
They are not bent at all. Sorry if I'm asking really dumb questions but are you referring to the ribbon cable? I feel like the gimbal wasn't hit itself just that the aircraft took a hard blow landing upside down. What would cause the camera not to adjust to the remote control telling it to look up or down. I am able to run the calibration on the computer via the dji 2 assistant but then it just does not respond to the controller. i couldn't find any damage to the ribbon cable when i took it apart.
A hard blow could have disconnected the cable. Or damaged the connecting port. I bring up the cable because it is the cheapest part to fix. I'd start there, since replacing the guibal is really expensive!
I used your affiliate link to purchase the allen keys- and they don't work for the landing gear...
so what do you need for the landing gear than ?
You cut some of the pin, was that it?
+Jhonny Ebtir yeah pretty much. They made them pretty badly actually.
need the picture of the color coded wires
Here you go. bfy.tw/Fekb
Drone ke sabhi part lena hai
why you must change your p4 camera?
+Muhammad Tio Cahya Fajriansyah because it broke.
+hoshnasi my phantom 4 camera sensor eror, how to fix it?
Does anyone know where to buy landing gear for a Phantom 4 Pro? It has a different set of landing gear than the Phantom 4. I don't even need the whole set really, I just lost one of the plastic covers at the top of one leg. Everything still works fine, but it's annoying to look at. I've looked all over and can't find anything. DJI says they can't help me I need to send it in for repair. I just want to buy a $0.25 plastic cover and they want me to mail it to them... that's some "customer service"... Maybe I'll just get some white electrical tape and try not to think about it too much.
+Ahsieh2 are you sure the plastic piece is different from the 4?
Yes, I bought a set of gear for the 4. It's too large and has a different curve. There's no way it'll ever fit.
If you look at pictures of the 2 drones side by side you will see what I'm talking about. The P4 has a step where the leg meets the body. The P4 Pro has thinner legs that smoothly transition to the body. I wonder why it's so heard to find gear for the Pro though. I even heard they have discontinued the P4 and are just selling what's left in inventory. You'd think since they're focusing on the Mavic and P4 Pro that they'd have some replacement gear to sell.
guys at rebelrotor.com has them.
man I did the same exact thing, I have the video to it
Where can I buy a pink shirt as your own? (-:

why phantom 4 have a internal cooler ?
+Mr Desmit it gets hot.

I don't know.
