Flying this combo for the third or fourth time. This time I noticed that every 10s or so (the timing varied a bit), the IOSD and GoPro video was replaced with a black output on the screen for about 1s and then it carried on working normally until it repeated. I guess this suggests that the problem is not the GoPro or IOSD, but the vTX or the vRX.
I am pretty sure I saw the black pearl switching between antennae when this was happening (blue leds swapping) normally only the spironet on is on, and the stock one is not used.
When I first noticed this I was flying a couple of hundred metres away so I though this might be signal degradation (though I got no signal break up or wavy lines come to think of it, just black for about 1s). However later this was also happening when the vTX antenna was in clear view, with the quad about 3m off the ground and about 3m away.
I have the vTX in a plastic tictac box (with some predrilled holes for cooling). I am wondering whether with the ambient temperature being 7C today rather than the 1 or 2 C it was on other FPV flights; that the vTX could be overheating.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks
