Very good. High quality components.

Hope I don't need to use this, but it's always interesting to know what's inside and how it's constructed.

Not so.

For example, my camera was bad from factory. My image is distorted (half screen is distorted) and I have problems to even get online repair form displayed from DJI web site. Should be too much repair requests these days.

Nice vid. Thanks for posting.


Someone had grass stuck in beneath a prop last week restricting a motor and popping an error message. This vid shows how to disassemble the motor too and would have got them out of trouble. Some nice quality stuff in there.

Good video by Ifixit ... It is pretty clear to me that this drone is not user fixable. DJI has the experts to repair to like new condition.

That's cool, wonder what the blue pasty stuff is for?

Thanks much. Interesting wikipedia quote on thermal grease:

"The main role of thermal grease is to eliminate air gaps or spaces (which act as thermal insulator) from the interface area so as to maximize heat transfer. Thermal grease is an example of a Thermal interface material."

Yesterday my Mavic Pro landed in sand and two engines are giving problem to turn them manually. Try to clean with compressed air but it appears that  part of the sand is attached to the magnets. Can someone help me to disassemble the engine and be able to clean it?

your out of luck those engines are attach to the arm, so you cannot just disassemble the motor you should of hand catch it.
