    Keep getting camera Disconnected notice?

    Here's the final result on the tinning of my gimbal connectors. Nothing more annoying than losing your video feed. I used regular 60_40 solder(60tin_40lead). Silver solder would take more heat to melt and may damage the connectors. So far rock solid connection! But don't do this if... 1)...

    Keep getting camera Disconnected notice?

    Yeah that sounds like a logical move on the DJI camera.. I still like the removable gimbal just in case they ever come up with a 1 inch sensor, but the rep told me that Sony wasn't making enough of the 1 inch sensors which aren't exactly 1 inch anyway. Interesting that you can actually fly...

    LOL.. I'm thinking of tinning all contact points with silver soldier for a more secure electrical conduction. Cheaper than gold or platinum!

    Hi Kent.. thanks for the suggestion! I tried the old pencil eraser rubbing trick on all 24 contacts and it seems to be ok now!

    Thanks Squirrell and Agustine! .. you're right, here's what they said... "As far as the issue with the battery, try resetting the battery by pressing and holding the power button for 15 seconds, then please charge it for 24 hours, sometimes being on the charger for an extended period of time...

    Ok I hooked my phone up and I can see the video on the screen. One more stupid question.. I have one battery that isn't responding or charging at all. Do we throw these away or is there a way to refurbish them? Thanks!

    Upgraded Firmware, now no connection

    Squirrell.. you're a genius.. putting the firmware on another micro card worked! Now how do I get the video to operate? Do I need to go through the Starlink App for video? Thanks!

    Hi thanks.. thats the video I was watching when I did it. After failure I called Autel and spoke with two techs .. they couldn't help me so they had someone send me a ticket to send it in to have it looked at by Autel. I never got past this point after emailing them all the info. I haven't...
