Temperature problem

[Looping31]

The message is in French [emoji632] but it means something as: Overheating of the device. Misfeeds could occur. Return to the starting point immediately. It can display just one or two minutes after the drone takes off.
Any idea? Thanks in advance.

Without a translation, I’m not sure of the exact wording, but I do get motor warnings about them being maxed out.
Have not seen anything regarding a heat issue.

Translation reads “overheated from device could occur”
not sure what device they are referring to.
aircraft? or screen device or controller?

 

[Looping31]

I think it's the aircraft.

I would question DJI themselves on that one.
Or one of their authorized dealers.

I've sent a mail to the support. They answered that they work on the problem. So I'm waiting.

There is a tear down video on YouTube that shows what’s inside the aircraft and I don’t remember seeing a fan inside. The controller I’ve opened myself and I don’t think I saw a fan there either. Plenty of venting on the aircraft.

there is no fan in there, only a passive heatsink.

So my eyes are still good!

i suspect it may make sense to vandalize lower panel a bit and cut off center plastic elements on top of the heatsink - all the center parts there the long openings are, to expose the heatsink more.


it seems like they optimized the airflow for the cooling while it moves - but during steady hover it probably does not get much air in there at all.

That’s the message I get when I get fishing line in my props. Oops, that’s on my boat.
