Fixing my phantom 4 motor

This was my attempt at fixing my phantom 4 drone. I was able to replace the motor myself but I found that I had bigger problems.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It is helpful and now to replace my motor that is squeaking.

What an adventure that was! Sorry it didnt work out for you. Gotta say I admire your tenacity in having a go at it. Now that I have seen you in action I aint gunnu go there. Too much finicky finger work for me. And besides, for all your cautious work the gimble screwed up. Really appreciate your video though.

Very cool, I just Subscribed!

[@arlodowgwilliams2605]

I like your videos a lot. You need to put out more!!!

[@keithtweedie8484]

Good job. Will keep your video in case it happens to me.

Thank you for this tutorial. Do you need reset phantom 4 when you change the engine or it will work fine?

[@barthurs99]

I you are crazy!!! I love my phantom 4!!!I would never do some thing like that!!!

I think that DJI drone is EXPENSIVE

[@jimhofoss9982]

Thanks for showing us the guts! Maybe one of the plugs for the gimbal isn't making full contact-and the gimbal itself is ok...possibly the ribbon cable was damaged...it appeared as though the camera had full motion when you "powered on" the drone, indicating the motors and gears were ok for the vertical axis....spare parts are always good though! Looks to me like a connection issue, it was moving right to left as well, I think that ribbon cable to the main board connection is your culprit, those connections are finnicky. Watch out for those aggressive trees!

Jim Hofoss thanks for the tip

I got to 15:42 and decided to start saving for a replacement Quad in working order.

Yaw motor sensors damaged in crash

Sorry mate. It not "Fixing" , it's "Replacing" . Title might need to change . Cheers

Are you interested in selling your old gimbal tray unit. I'm in the process of creating a pilot program using drones to locate and track sharks close to shore at our public beaches in south Alabama. We have had many shark attacks over the years and using drones to locate sharks is the only economically viable solution. We hope to save many lives if this program proves to be a viable concept. Our main drone, a Phantom 4 had an insistent that damaged the camera. Even if we have to lock the gimbal in place that's ok. We only need to see straight down. We have limited funds to purchase new equipment so repairing them is our only option right now. We could really use that gimbal and camera. Thanks for your consideration. Fly Safe!

I was planning on saving it for spare parts but if I change my mind I'll let you know

[@graysonmiller8195]

Totally understand. Nice work on the video. I have a motor about to go on my p4. I ordered a replacement. Your video makes feel never about the job. Its not as bad as I thought though. I think I'm gonna put in quick connect terminal!s though in case I ever need to change it out again.

[@graysonmiller8195]

Assuming we don't loose it out in the gulf. Lol

[@arlodowgwilliams2605]

I bet all you needed was a yaw arm
