Hello folks, just re surfacing an old thread that didn’t seem resolved.. however I noticed that the user was using the evo and had other questions throughout the years. Anyhow for me this is what happening …
when I power up the controller and drone, everything powers up normal. However the controller doesn’t show that there’s an sd installed in the drone and when you toggle the display button it just seems to be stuck refreshing, but doesn’t show the image that should be transmitted by the camera.
if youleave the drone and controller on let It attempt to connect image to the controller etc , it will eventually.. sometimes it takes up to an hour to link. As a side note, I had a napkin on my coffee table one day where I had the drone and controller powered on, just trying to load and sync up … and i noticed the napkin flapping around, ( some internal fan kicked on the Evo) … and coincidentally the image was now being transmitted to controller and sd card recognized. After re test the scenario many times, it was a fan towards the rear of the craft and every time it activates everything works as it should?!
As another side note :
i have tried multiple sd cards with same result
formatting sd cards did not go easy for me (via air never worked apparently)
the drone has only been flown a few times by me (was purchased “new” from eBay member)
evo will fly immediately and gps connection works just no image transmission or ability to shoot photo /video
i have other (cheaper) drones that I can just power up and fly
if I connect cell phone to controller no image either
under settings in firmware with cell phone connected I can view in detail the firmware versions.. under camera it says 0.00 or something like that until it connects
i can’t view pics or video on sd card through drone controller until it connects
and that’s all the details I can recall at the moment
i will try to post a video as soon as I can
thanks again for all the help in advanced!
