Java Post Aerial Photo
Hey gang, I just joined tonight to get a little assistance. I've owned an S800 for several months and we have done some great aerial photography. I've had a couple of unfortunate oscillating flips when coming home, but this has only happened in the past few weeks and I'm looking for some assistance. I've watched every video out there pertaining to the FOD (Flip of Death) but my issue seems to be different and I haven't seen any crashes that look like mine. I'm posting my crash today for awhile to get some feedback, but basically when returning home on first low battery warning my S800 has become unstable and then begins oscillating, swinging from one side to the other until it can no longer stay in the air and plunges to the ground. In the video you will see the aircraft come into the camera, swinging back and forth while the camera gimbal stays perfectly locked. I'd appreciate any help with this.
For background we are running the reinforced EVO arms. We have the anti-vibration isolation kit which places cushions between the upper assembly of arms, isolating vibration and keeping it from getting to the gimbal and IMU. The compass is mounted securely with a mounting bracket instead of double-sided tape as we thought the antenna may have broken free the last time this happened. We are on the update firmware. I can't think of anything else. Oh wind was about 10km so not too high but I was returning into the wind after an approach to this butte. Here's the link to our crash. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6lZgNMpmGY&feature=youtu.be
Oh ya here's a few great moments so my post has balance. http://javapost.ca/index.php?pageid=Our-Work&videoid=167
