I have an intermittent error with ESC Status Error on a Phantom 3 Professional.
This only seems to occur when I attempt a take-off. As suggested I turn off the main drone and turn it back on. Usually after 2 or 3 times I can then take off and then it is fine again. Usually this error doesn't repeat for consecutive take offs.

I have seen on other threads a Beta firmware is offered. Is this still the go to solution? If so could someone please send this to me and advise what I should do with it?

Many thanks

Hi. I am sorry to know that your DJI Phantom 3 Pro is having ESC issue. Prior from getting this error message. Did the said experienced any hard landing or crash? And was there any firmware update prior to this said issue? Please keep us posted for further assistance. Thank you.

I got the same issue on an Inspire 1 Pro (out of warranty). Each time i want to take off i get "ESC status error".
I brought the drone to DJI store and they quoted me with a replacement of the "Inspire 1 Flight Controller Module" for around USD 235.
I have serious doubt that this is a hardware issue (motor looks in good condition and the drone flew less than 60 hours).
Any advice would be welcome ;)

Thanks for the response. No serious crashes or hard landings. I usually let it land itself. Difficult to say if this was related to a firmware update; I've only flown it 3 or 4 times myself.

Is there anything I can try?
