A Trick can KILL your video midflight?!?

192 Views · Posted 6 years ago

Well my new quad flies freaking GREAT... minus that little video issue :P So the only part on this quad that isn't brand new is a few week old TBS Unify HV. I'm realizing that the "weird random cutouts" weren't really that random at all. Any time I do a "Hard 180 flip" I can kill video. When I do the reverse again I can bring back video. Although my camera is also reseting I'm still blaming it on the VTX for now. I tried I isolating it from the frame making sure nothing was touching, I tried a different antenna, I tried poking it with a stick. Every time I do that trick I lose video. If I do the same trick but mix in some yaw or roll it doesn't happen. Absolutely crazy. I've "killed" two 5v Unify V2's and a Unify HV, all brand new, got 2-3 weeks out of them and then done. The two 5v Unifys cannot broadcast further than 10 feet. When in pit mode this changes to 2 inches. And now this HV which doesn't like certain tricks... The only thing I've done differently was connect smartaudio as well as a microphone. This quad is not hooked up that way but I feel like whatever damage I've been doing before is permanent. I have a new V3 Unify coming so I will update whether that took care of the issue shortly. In the meantime enjoy the maiden of my sweet STRAIGHT FIRE build :)
