    CGO3 Camera Just Dropped Off of the Drone!

    I actually have some in my spare parts kit and had planned to do just that as soon as I had free time. Just waited one flight too long. Just want to clear up why I thought I had a camera mount malfunction. Neither the top or bottom rails were damaged in anyway. Both in perfect condition...

    CGO3 Camera Just Dropped Off of the Drone!

    Yep, the lights went out. I always tap on the left side of the LED box to prevent turning off the GPS. Plus I do not recall hearing an audible beep warning me the GPS was off.

    CGO3 Camera Just Dropped Off of the Drone!

    Good to know that. Perhaps I'll test that someday. In daylight when I can see the lines.. I didn't turn off the GPS. I do believe that I briefly switched off the LEDs lights. But then immediately switched them back on.

    CGO3 Camera Just Dropped Off of the Drone!

    Hi Jules, it's an honor to converse with you. Watched a bunch of your videos before and after I purchased my H. Also, used your videos to build an H from scratch from parts bought on Ebay. What started out as just buying extra parts in case they were needed for repairs soon morphed into a...

    CGO3 Camera Just Dropped Off of the Drone!

    It is a new drone, purchased on September 7th. During my pre-flight check, I checked the dampers and ensured all were properly attached and camera was completely latched to copter. Again, all dampers were in place. I did have one tip over in mid-October. But checked everything out after the...
