Possibility of critical battery level and going into auto land mode.

I used it once and it worked ok, with a couple of caveats. I programmed it to follow a winding river so I had to create several waypoints in order for it to follow the curves. At every waypoint it pauses instead of continuously flying, even if no action was programmed to take place at that...

Bravo! I really enjoy your creative videos. Well done.

After re-reading Neon's post, I see the point you were making, but you didn't suggest using RTH.

This is only true if you have it set to hover on lost signal. You can also set it to RTH on lost signal. I have mine set this way, and it's never failed to return to home. The only thing to be careful of, especially with tall trees all around, is it probably won't land exactly on the home spot...

Nice Photoshop skills.

Fly in Atti mode.

Do you still have the txt file that was created on the sd card when you updated the AC? This will tell you what version you upgraded to. If you have access to another remote with a known firmware version you could try pairing it with your AC. If it connects, you at least know that the AC is...

It sounds like a hardware problem to me, like the gimbal motor wears out over time and can't hold level anymore.

Will do...I won't be sending it back for at least a few weeks so it will be a while before I know anything.
