Help :(

So I have the 1st gen vision and I'm having problems with my camera.
It turns on but if I move the cable that connects to the back of that camera around it turns off and turns on constantly
It even turns off while I set it down to fly it or while it's in the air.
Or could it be that my camera is failing inside.?

.i have a feeling it may be the wire but I opened up my phantom and the cable seems fine and connected well.
I really hope it isn't the camera cause it's a lot for a new one

Anybody have any suggestions on what my problem may be?
I already ordered the wire that connects to the vision camera to the board so I hope it could be just that.

If you plug that wire into the camera while the battery is on you can fry the camera. I hope that isnt the case for you.

That's the thing, last night was a very good night here in Dallas,TX to fly and I turned on like you supposed to and I was wondering why my tablet (nexus 7) wasn't connecting to the "phantom" network.
Then I noticed the green light indicator on the back of the vision camera wasn't on but it was switched to "wifi only"
Then I started moving it around in place and it turned on then off again.
