DJI Phantom - where did these come from?

[maximus852]

Okay so after I took apart and then reassembled my DJI Phantom I noticed a rattling noise coming from inside. After shaking it for a bit, these things came out... View attachment 15059(they are extremely small). I am a little worried now, as I don't want anything happening to my phantom mid flight or something. :/ Can someone please tell me what they are / where they came from? Thanks

They look like circlips for a motor shaft.
Take each of your motors off (making sure to note the directions so you don't put them back the wrong way round) and examine the base of each.

That was it! Thank you!!!

Those are your flux halos. They are what help your controller actually talk to planets. They tend to fall off the flux halo board if your props arent balanced. DJI recommends flipping your props around and flying upside down. Kidding, yes those are motor shaft washers/e clips.

Iris,

You are so funny. I am not sure how the cir clip could just fall off along with a bearing. I have never had that happen.

I think that if the circlip was not seated properly during assy. Then when it was tested before packing it just came off and lay in the bottom. Even if they come off, the magnetic field is usually strong enough to stop the bell coming off in flight.
