I turn on the camera to record and I fly.
I return and the camera is off and recorded nothing.
Now I try to turn on the camera, it won't turn on.
If I remove the GoPro battery and reinstall it, the camera is fine.
Until I fly again.
Any advice?
Thanks!

EDIT: BTW first flights.

I had same issues. I think it was because of sd card. try formating sd to it's default values.
 
what go pro is it?
what firmware?
what sd card speed and brand?
 
Sounds like the dreaded sandisc ultra problem.

Charge the gopro battery.
Format the SD card inside the GoPro.
Change to 1080p@30fps for starters. Then increase resolutions.
The card could be a fake and the write speeds/size may not be true.

Thanks, I reformatted the SD.
And I made sure it was not a fake.
Took it out for a flight today and the camera still would not work.
Using a Samsung 64 evo and a GoPro3+

Any other ideas?

THANKS!
 
Your GoPro is scared of heights or maybe you pulling too many G's that the GoPro passes out.

Try:
1. Take the gopro off the bird and run it on its own. You will then figure out if its the Gopro alone or the phantom h33d combo.
2. Try different card. My 64G Sammy Evo was a fake. viewtopic.php?f=4&t=36312
3. Check the flex ribbon cable that comes from the H33D mount to the side Gopro USB port. You may have installed it upside down/backwards.
 
Thanks Mako,
Looks like the problem was that the ribbon cable was not seated properly.
Everything seems to work on a bench test.
I did check the SD card with the app suggested in the other thread.

I was afraid that I may have flown when it was to cold and that might have caused the problem.

Well, I am still having problems. : (
I can get about 1 minute of video before the camera shuts off.
I have reinstalled the firmware on the GoPro, made sure the battery was fully charged, checked and rechecked the connections at the gimbal and camera. Replaced the SD card and made sure that it was a real sd card.
In another thread I mention that the camera was very hot when using the assistant sw.
I think some connection is wrong in the Phantom.

Where might the problem be?
