Apologies if this problem has been discussed anywhere but I can’t find it despite looking everywhere I could think of.
A couple of weeks ago I got my MA2 ready to fly as usual, but on attaching the iPhone X to the controller and booting up there was no camera view, just a blank image. All the telemetry info was there, though it did give an Incompatible Gimbal message. I tried the usual “turn it off and on again” standard practice but no joy. I tried an android phone, no joy.
After refreshing the firmware of the AC and downgrading then reinstalling the latest firmware for the RC the Gimbal message went away. I tried unpairing and re-pairing the AC and RC. I formatted the internal storage and sd cards. Nothing works. I tried to record to see if it wrote to the SD. It does but very very poorly. There’s an image there but the video jumps straight through 30 seconds in a few seconds, like the file is corrupted or has missing fragments.
While trying absolutely everything (even anything that doesn’t make sense at this point) I turned the resolution down to 1080p and got a still image which occasionally updated but not in any useable way. It’s almost as if the AC is running out of RAM the way the image is behaving but everything else works fine. I’ve even tried taking off to see if that would force it to abandon any extraneous processes but after hovering with a sporadically changing still image on the screen it gave me the “image transmission lost” message before the RTH kicked in.
There has been no crash before this and it was stored in its waterproof and shockproof case. I can’t afford any expensive repairs at this time, and I really need it back up and running if at all possible. Has anyone encountered anything like this or does anyone have any idea what is going in inside it? At this point I’ll take any magic rituals that will fit!
Any help will be gratefully received.
