What I thought I saw appeared to be intermittent and slight vertical compression of the image (was I wrong?), if that is the case then I think it can only be one of two things: a faulty video processor IC or support IC (or a loose or faulty solder joint to those ICs) or a loose cable connection. I also thought I saw that the same 'compression' seemed to disappear when the Phantom was driving hard in the forward direction. If that is also the case, then the load in one direction was higher there and would also support a loose connection/joint.
The first thing I would do is check all the connections you can without violating any warranty criteria. If it is still doing the same thing, I would take it back to the retailer that sold you the Phantom.
That sounds like a possibility. unfortunately I have modded my phantom and warranty wont apply.
I will pull the whole thing apart after I check the hard fwd acceleration again and see how the video reacts. It seems to me like the most noticeable area of the interference is on the lower portion of the screen through half way up the screen.
How would the image be compressed?
I haven't removed the foil mod and tried it , just removed the top and turned on the video, still jittery.
Like I mentioned I don't know if something inside the camera went for a **** after I crashed it a, it didn't go down hard just the same but it appears to me that it happened after that. definitely wasn't like it when I first bought it.
Your opinion is much appreciated.
