It's working again! I disassembled the mount again and checked the solder connections - all looked tight and undamaged. Screwed the retainer plate back on tight, fiddled with the shock absorbers ;- ) and put it all back together, and it worked on the first try! I think it wa just messing with me.

I did check the contacts and made sure they were all up; I'll check the white wire tonight. Thanks!

I crashed my H a month or so ago, after I suddenly got a low-battery warning on a battery I had thought was fully charged - I almost had made it to the ground and was bringing it back when it skidded into the pavement, tumbling and tossing off the camera. The only apparent damage was the rails...

Once again, efforts thwarted. I updated the ST16 and H both, re-bound the camera and drone to the ST16, and just tried a short flight. Still not locking the camera in place, even with the toggles set correctly. I think it may be time to call tech support. The hardware monitor checked out - shows...

Well, another flight, another failure. I calibrated gimbal, accelerometer and compass before take-off, but it's still not locking the camera in place with the drone body when I have the pan control toggle (#2 in the illo above) in the "F" position. It looks like I need to track down some good...

I wondered about the GPS connection - I was getting about 10-12 satellites listed on the controller. I haven't seen any vids on compass calibration that recommend doing it with the camera off the H; is that necessary?

Thanks! After I posted, I tracked down a tutorial on it and saw that. Just went out and tried again - first flight, it stayed aligned, 2nd flight it kept pointed at one spot, with the toggle in the same "F" location. Also had issues with it spinning up - worked, but in mid-flight it told me the...

I just started flying a couple weeks ago - only 2 days outside with it. Last night when I was flying, I found that whenever I rotate the copter, the camera remains facing the same direction. I'm sure it's something I've changed in a setting (I hope!) - for now, at least, I want to always keep...
