My own stupid bloody fault.
I was working at a little beach bar yesterday (they wanted a 1 minute video and some stills for marketing) and was struggling to get 6 Satellites locked on, the beach area is tiny and surrounded by boulders.
I have flown there before and new the best place to pick up Sats was very close to the waters edge, well I put my bird a little to close and a small wave came in too far and splashed the camera and gimbal, rushed home put a hair dryer on it for a while then put it in front of a fan for 5 hours, let the camera and gimbal sit in rice overnight, tested it this morning and the camera is flying all over the place.
Going to leave it sat in front of a fan all day and try the rice trick again tonight but I think it's fxxxxxx.
Any suggestions? Is it worth taking back to the shop I got it from and say the gimbal has just started going crazy? Or try and buy a replacement camera and gimbal, there must be lot's out there that have been discarded because of the ribbon problem?
My phantom is my job so need a quick solution.
I live in Thailand btw.
