Camera keeps dropping down

[hey_moe]

I noticed today while freezing my buttocks off, my camera kept dropping down while flying. After about 30 minutes later it worked fine. Any of you guys seen this.

It does that when power is interrupted... happened to me. Turned out to be a loose connection of the 4pin cable going into the gimbal controller from the Phantom body. I used tweezers, pulled it up and put it back. No further issues.

Could be a loose wire or it could be the wifi unit overheating. They often will start dropping out and then come back after cooling back down. Here is the thread I started on it and the fix. It may not be to late for yours, mine was doing what yours is now. I was able to save mine and no longer have any drop issues.

Well it wasn't a loose wire or over heating issue. This happened when I first started flying. So it wasn't a overheating issue. Part two of this was the plug didn't fix itself. Like I said the first 30 minutes of so it acted up, after that it worked fine and stayed stable.
