Three times during my flying on Saturday the flight app crashed. The ST16 lost control, video down, and displayed the screen shot of the tall trees with yellow leaves. About 5 seconds later the flight app appeared with video and the GPS sats exactly at the same count as before. When this happened, the H itself hovered in it's position; RTH did not kick in.
To get this to happen was pretty easy. I was shooting video, and when I used the ST16 photo button on the controller to switch to photo mode, the flight app apparently crashed. First time this happened was a bit of scare (after reading some of the posts here) but I saw the H itself was stable and then the app re-appeared and I had perfect control.
After control was back, I kept it in photo mode, then switched back to video mode using the ST16 control button. A couple minutes latter I did the same sequence of using the ST16 controller photo button to switch back to photos, and the flight app crashed again.
Next battery I did this sequence once at the beginning of the flight to confirm (after rebooting the ST16 and H).
I think this may be something others here, including @record.play.rewind, have seen but have not perhaps correlated.
I have not confirmed if this occurs using the flight app itself to switch between video and photos; I don't think it does as I believe that is the way I switched initially.
- edit : I was shooting in the 5 second interval photo mode when this occurred. It is possible that the photo was being processed when I switched from photo to video mode using the ST16 button. Using the software itself to switch will prevent this as you must stop the photo mode, then start the video mode.
