    Help Recovering Corrupted MP4 After Crash

    Thanks!! I did that (camera still works!!) and got the video. Video confirms it simply shut off in flight. The last image was it flying just fine at slightly above tree level. After I calmed down and looked it, I realized I could probably fix it myself but I will send it in anyways because I...

    Hello from Ohio (for now)
