Hi all. Just came from vacation and found one of the plastic cover for the landing gear is missing (see pic attached).
Please looking for some guidance on where I can find a replacement for this.

Thanks in advance

Overkill, but you'd have spare parts.

White vinyl tape in the meantime.

If you get stuck try some irrigation poly pipe (split lengthways and fix with tape). If look is critical then fit some pipe to the other three legs.
Plenty of high quality tapes available as well. Why not try some reflective tape?

When contacted DJI did not have just this part but they come with landing gear. Also it looks like P4 and P4P/P4P+ are different. Landing gear is only available for P4.
  They seem to pop off all of the 4's. Might be a great time to maybe put some tape or a dab of silicone on the ones you still have.

It does seem strange that the one part that falls off frequently they dont stock as a spare, someone could make a fortune selling these

I really wish DJI had an online parts store for these sorts of incidents.  Even a walk-in service center rather than one behind a locked gate in CA where you have to ship it to them from across the street is absurd for service.  I'm sure some parts person answering their phone or online web sales could make their salary in just sundry parts sold due to the sheer volume out there, and rising.

Once off warranty, really would be annoying to pay $45 to ship a drone to CA and wait for a few weeks for a $5 part or whatever that the owner could replace himself and get back in the air.

In the meantime tape the rest on, wrap it round a couple of times, that should save them

I reported  this same problem to DJI Support back in May and I'm still waiting for a replacement part. Whenever I've contacted them they just say it's been referred to their technical support team. Having been a DJI customer for several years I am utterly disgusted with their after sales support!

Did this ever get sorted? As you've seen, I had one come away and tried to fit it back, I sheared the receiver wire.
Is there a sequence to fit the part?

I have seen this problem reported on a number of occasions. I know it won’t help those who have already lost the pieces but I simply bought some of those round (1/2”) transparent stickers and wrapped them around each side of the legs. It’s invisible and ensures that the bits will never fall out.

Wow, I just contacted them, got a case number and was told in no uncertain terms that they will be charging me.
Anyway, for anyone like me not so lucky with DJI just type - Landing Gear Cover For DJI Phantom 4 PRO - in your favorite search engine and you will find many places to buy these cheap little crappy parts. My drone is not even 6 weeks old and it fell off...not amused!
