"You are dropping from 12v to 10.5 almost immediately. A good failsafe is 3.5v per cell so that's 10.5v and that appears to be where your failsafe is set. I agree that your props look very small for 3s. My F450 uses 10" 4.5 props when I use 3S…"
"Check the cables that came with the Minim OSD. Mine included the Y cable and at first I wasn't sure how it was intended to be used."
"This may not be very likely but are you sure your flight controller is oriented correctly? I have seen flipping similar to what you described when someone mounted the flight controller 90 degrees out of alignment. Make sure the arrow on the flight…"

I hope someone can help. I finally added an FPV camera and transmitter to my F550 hex based on an APM 2.6 flight controller. I am using a MinimOSD board to overlay telemetry data on my video feed. The issue is that upon power up, the video seems…

"I have an F550 clone with an APM 2.6 FC mounted directly to the lower PDB. I'm having no interference that I can detect and everything is working fine. Of course the GPS and compass are mounted in a pod about 6" above the top board.
