CGO3 tilts right after 15 minutes of flight.

Hey y'all. I fly in southeast Georgia and South Carolina. The temps get over 90° daily.
After 15 minutes of flight, the camera body tilts right. Does anyone else have this issue?

after you land or while in the air flying?

Airborne

Does the problem go away when you put in a fresh battery? Be interesting to know if it related to the camera cooling down, voltage a little low, or if neither of these seem related.

Unfortunately I have only one battery.

I'll run some bench tests this week. I'm usually on to the next thing so I haven't had a chance to investigate.

I didn't think about letting the drone & battery cool down then spool it up again.

I can say the airframe gets really hot so I would imagine inside the hull everything is at about Easy Bake temperature...

I've flow with temps 92°, 93°. Out in the sun add additional 8 to 10° ?
I've never heard of this camera tilting while in flight, ?

Might be connected to that crash I had last month...

That’s pretty important information you probably should have included in post #1.

*Facepalms*
It would help those people who are trying to help if all information was included. A recent crash is a very significant bit of information that will colour the help responses.

Well, duhhhhh. thanks for that bit of info. I'm sure it it the results of the crash. Have you tried to calibrate the camera?

Thanks for the input everyone.
I left the crash incident out of the initial thread for a reason. The aircraft is fully functional after the incident including camera and gimbal. And...

Yuneec products have been recieving a spate of bad press recently. While a crash would present the most obvious correlation, I wanted to eliminate any other possibilities, such as quality and functional issues. So, I was looking for feedback on the product itself.

That said, I will spool up the GUI interface and calibrate the camera.

I am amazed at how robust the Typhoon q500 4k is.

Have you tried recalibrating the camera

Done and done! Test flight later today.
Thanks for the suggestion! Much appreciated!
