did u ask if they can just send u an advanced replacement, keeping your credit card as a guarantee that u will return the current one? Weird! Hope they take care of u quickly and well!

no I did not ask them for a replacement.... I am just very mad that I spent this much and have to return it right away! I am usually very calm and patient but this is definitely unacceptable especially  for the price...Guess I will find out shortly if they care to keep a customer returning and happy or not

Do you have any idea how long it will take to get my drone back!

Funny how this thread keeps appearing on the front page...

Like it has a life of its own. Haha

Get with the cracking program then. I have several cracked spots on my drone.

But then again I crashed it into a POLE.  No fault of DJI's at all. I just tore off some duct tape strips to fit over the cracks I put on my drone. Also if I face the drone the right way I don't see any cracks at all.

Those zip ties saved the camera... ;-)

I lost 2 rubber grommets so decided to put in the ties.  They are loose so the gimble movement is not restricted and now if a grommet comes loose I don't lose it.

Yes, the anti vibration dampers are an important component of the gimbal doing its job correctly.

The 17" propellers should be an awesome way to beat the wind at its own game. Haha

Yes, those look like an awesome design, with plenty of power and enough battery voltage to get the job done right the first time.  No need to land, switch flight packs and continue on your mission.  

Thanks to the bright DJI innovators, there will continue to be new drones and unique ideas for using them. Always and all ways, continuing to bring smiles and much delight to the adventurers amongst us.

You are replying to a zombie thread, and the cracks were a problem with the P3 series aircraft, not so much with the P4.

We have 2 P4s.  Husband has 1 and I have 1.   I had mine for about 2 months, few flights and it had really been babied at the time. It's longest flight at the time was 400 feet away, never in Atti or Sport mode, no crashes, I mean it had really been babied. Checked it after a short flight and had cracks.  I sent it in and got a replacement and since then, this drone has been flown hard, no cracks at all.  

24 hours of flight and large cracks are now appearing around the engine vents on my P4.

Try returning it to DJI and make a repair case.

dont doubdt , if you are under warranty  .. i would use it

very minor stress cracks forming under the motor arms. DJI replaced the P3P shell under warranty.

yes . My Phantom 3 SE got 2 little stress crashes  after 1.400.000 feets But it is not important
