Hello... a few days ago I've upgraded my Solo's GPS to the newest model (purple) and its been working really great! Then the upgraded GPS shield that I bought came just yesterday and was installed earlier today.
Thing is I am not sure if there is a connection between my upgrades to the problem I am having now but basically my drone's live video feed has been on and off (more off). When I installed my new GPS I did not have any of these problems but it only started today after installing the GPS shield.
The video was there before take off but right after a few mins mid flight the video feed goes black. There are moments when it would come back on but most of the time the video was just black. Sometimes it goes black when the drone is close then would come back on when far away and vise versa.
I've also done a full reset of the drone, controller, the gopro(also reinstalled from the gimbal), antennas, and the app but same results. Sometimes its black even before take off.
Also, I noticed my battery dropped from 15% to 12% then to 7 in a really short time... scared me a little because the drone was still pretty high up but I managed to land it before it the battery died. I guess I also want to know if this battery is fine to use... I can get use to it knowing that 15% is basically almost 0 I can always land it before 15% or 20...
but will this battery get even worse and starts to drop fast at 50% ? maybe even from 100%? thats the risk I can't take I can just dispose the battery then.
What could have caused this? is it the way I charge them? or when I store them while still at full power? I've dropped my batteries twice but I dont really know which ones since I have 4 of them but maybe its that?
Thanks for the replies.
