"Yes, the gopro is on a gimbal, i also noticed the noise reduction indicating lack of thrust... I will check the power distribution, but it is made with heavy gauge wires and good bullet connectors, i don't think that is the problem, plus it should…"

Corrado Viettone replied to Corrado Viettone's discussion Pixhawk fall from the sky in altitude hold mode
"The pixhawk configuration is for standard quad, so motors 1 and 4 are on the right side of the frame.

"FW is the latest, 3.1.5, I can exclude prop issue, about motor and esc i must check, but it's not likely, the drone rolled over exactely when i switched to alt hold, till that moment it was flying nicely as always."

"Hi Mirko... I'll be happy to help you... and I'll start telling you that it would be much better to buy a Pixhawk instead than the PX4, even if the hardware is the same, I obtained much better results with the pixhawk, especially in altitude hold,…"

Corrado Viettone replied to Corrado Viettone's discussion Pixhawk fall from the sky in position hold mode
"No... actually i also use APM planner and the latest version. I selected pos hold mode from the drop down list, but i cannot be sure about what it actually wrote in the software."

Corrado Viettone replied to Corrado Viettone's discussion Pixhawk fall from the sky in position hold mode
"OK, thank you for the hint... so this could have caused the crash? But if so, how is it possible that on mission planner it is actually possible to select this flight mode from the flight modes tab?"
