Introduction
This guide demonstrates how to remove the outer shell of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision. When completing the disassembly make sure to clean any residue that may be surrounding the screws before beginning, as doing this will ensure no over or under-tightening of screws may occur.
You may need to remove the outer shell of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision if your drone has sustained damage to the structure or if you need to access the internal components for repair.
Before you begin, make sure your device is powered off and disconnected from the charger.
Note: The drone we worked on already had the propellers removed. However, you will need to remove the propellers before taking off the top shell. Refer to the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ Propellers Removal for detailed instructions, as the process is identical.
