Hello all,
Have been flying MRCs for a while now, and have been enjoying silently reading the forums, but now I need some feedback.
I have an otherwise perfectly stable S800/WKM/Zen rig that displayed the most odd and frightening behavior on a shoot yesterday evening. I have not had any issues with white flashes, but I do suspect what happened was the result of vibration induced garbage in the IMU. Firmware is 5.16 and gains are 160/160/140/150. I'm going to look at improving the IMU vibration isolation when time allows, but I wanted to toss this out there to see if anyone has seen this behavior before. We've all seen the s800/wkm crash videos, but I have not seen any that include a mid-air recovery like this. The first link is the glitch, and the second link is what the flying leading up to it looked like. There were no beeps when this happened, and if you pause the video during the free fall, you can see that the green light on the bottom of the ESC is still on. Any ideas or feedback would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Brad
