Try the safe steps first
Useful checks before a workshop visit.
These steps are deliberately limited to safe owner-level checks. Stop if the aircraft has impact damage, water ingress, a hot battery or anything that could affect safe flight.
First-time setup
- Use the official app listed by the manufacturer for this exact aircraft.
- Remove transport and gimbal protection before powering the aircraft.
- Confirm the controller, aircraft and undamaged battery are fully charged.
- Complete pairing and updates only when the aircraft is physically sound.
Basic user service
- Power the aircraft off, remove the battery and take off the propellers.
- Inspect props, arms, shell, landing gear and the gimbal area in good light.
- Use only a soft dry brush or microfibre cloth. Avoid liquids, solvents and compressed air.
- Turn each motor gently by hand. Stop if one feels gritty, tight or different from the others.
- Check batteries for swelling, splits, impact marks, heat or unusual odour. Do not charge a suspect battery.
- Do not open a sealed aircraft, defeat safety checks or attempt calibration after structural damage.
Clear service choices
Choose the right service for your DJI Phantom 4 Pro.
Choose a focused LDR bench check or a recorded service with certificate. Any repair, parts or delivery cost is explained and approved first.
LDR Basic Bench Check
£49base price / per aircraft
A practical health check for a drone that needs a second opinion, a pre-season check or a clearer repair decision.
- External condition and safety inspection
- Basic power, controller-link and propulsion checks
- Camera, gimbal and fitted-system observations
- Plain-English findings and next-step recommendation
This is a focused bench check, not a strip-down, repair, official manufacturer report or certificate of airworthiness.
LDR Service & Certificate
£99base price / per aircraft
A fuller recorded inspection for owners, operators, used-aircraft purchases and fleet service files.
- Asset and serial-referenced intake
- Structured multi-point inspection
- Condition result with practical advisories
- Customer-safe PDF service certificate
The certificate records the checks completed and findings at the time. It is not an official DJI report or a regulatory certificate of airworthiness.
£49 and £99 are base prices per aircraft. Parts, repair labour, delivery and manufacturer charges are separate. No additional work starts without your approval.
