Troubleshooting: No Video

Here are the steps I go through to figure out why I'm not getting video.

One more thing to check is if you are using a OSD, in the settings pick the same format that your camera uses (NTSC or PAL). Otherwise thats another cause for no video.

-Side note, the fuzzy video at the end was caused by a bad antenna. Everything turned out to be fine.

Yeah, at least it wasn't the lens cap... JC, thanks for keeping it raw!

Keep sharing even the littlest stuff. It's why we watch JC. Keep doing exactly what you do and congrates on the upcoming show.

It gave me an idea. Although it was correctly soldered to the board there was tiny tiny spillage of solder which was causing short circuit and there was not enough power for camera.
Thanks man.

I make stupid mistakes all the time too. Nothing to feel bad about. It's just nice to know I'm not the only one!

The delightful thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from.

Yes, you're so right: I unfortunately sinned against the god of mini-quads when not ordering spare arms when they were available for few bucks.
Fortunately your repair videos inspired me to order a cheap part of carbon which I was able to mill (correct translation to english?) my spare arm with my cheap proxxon drill and a 3mm mill out of it. - Otherwise I would have been lost because the spare arms seem to be still not available worldwide.
Never sinn against the god of the mini-quads ;-) - Always buy the spare parts while they are available.

Really appreciate this video. I just went back to runcam because of a camera issue.

Lens cap.

JC is definitely right about spares. If you can afford 'em get em.

simple problem, but it's very important.

I did this exact same thing with my build earlier this month. 3am and slightly drunk. Everything worked out in the end.

Honest to God. Rip. I never met you but I wish I had. Thank you

[greghalliday]

Hehe, I was half expecting a blank YouTube screen with just you talking about troubleshooting ;-)

[chrismeyer]

How could something like that just happen? The quad looks used, he did not mention that he had just added a new wire?!

Thanks for the insight to your troubleshooting approach! Sounds logical and methodical...! I'm sure it slipped your mind to give Ray the credit for that lens cap tip!!!
