Hi I fear that someone tried to 'tighten' the antenna on the remote controller. That or the back pack closed on them. Everything works but they flop about. Should I glue them? Opening the casing looks scary. Thanks.

What do you mean 'flop about'? Can you post a quick video clip. The RC has a one year warranty.

Yea, i am pretty sure they Might be broke ......I would just package it up and send to DJI . My concern would be the antenna wire may have pulled off the main bored , or that it is damged. the only way is to remove the cover .  You need to be sure 100%

It would appear just the base has cracked, so you could repair that.

You might need to open the controller up to insure the wires are still intact.

I agree Microcyb but he said he did not want to open the case etc.  Folks like you and I would have that RC cover off quicker than a Prom dress  and dive right in.

True, hence the glue.

It is quite easy to open the controller and check the wires.
Here is a video to showing opening it is not too bad.

I hate to say the obvious but have you tried screwing them back in tight?   Mine were like that I simply gripped the white bit and tightened.

Okay I manned up and opened the RC. Nice and easy. Here's the video. The case was broken and I will now araldite this up. Interestingly two of the three posts that the back screws into crumbled. I disassembled carefully but still they fell into pieces
