For about the last week, I have been having intermittent camera failures with my P3P. The camera will be fine when I take off but then I get intermittent image freezes and finally a black screen with the DJI logo. It isn't an out-of-range problem because the bird doesn't even need to be in the air. It can be right next to the remote.
Video is not saved to the SD card when the failures occur so that led me to believe the problem was somewhere between the camera and the SD card. But then I tried using the editor function of the DJI go app to access the SD card and I got the message "Cannot access the SD card. Camera disconnected."
The aircraft still flies correctly when there are camera problems and the GPS functionality works correctly. The green LED on the gimbal remains lit.
Does anyone have suggestions of how I can diagnose the problem? I'm not sure if it is likely to be the black ribbon cable, the multi-connector cable that attaches the gimbal to the body, or something else. Or am I better off forgetting DIY and shipping it to DJI for repair? How bad have their turn-arounds on repairs been lately?
Thanks!
Joe
