Hello,

Is it normal for the Phantom 4 fan to constatly run when unit is turned on and never stop running?

Also I get a constant ticking sound, sounds like it's coming from the gimbal?

If a designer includes a fan in the design, then it is quite possible that it may run continously, it would depend on the environment. You would probably notice this only when it is on the ground, in which case there is no airflow to cool the electronics, so it would be normal.

The clicking sound is probably coming from the ultrasonic sensors on the underside and is also normal.
