An update on the situation.

As it has been said a battery issue. For some reason the issue doesn't happen on LiPo but does on NiCd and Nimh batteries. I know a lot of people upgrade the tank batteries to LiPo but the IBU products also support NiCd & NiMh so these so should work. I've contacted the manufacturer and the team are going to check the firmware tomorrow and find a fix, so sit tight and wait for a firmware update.

Ian.

Yes Guys I have it set on 6cell nimh battery. But if it is better for me to upgrade to Lipo batteries. tell me what I should buy and I will upgrade it. I hope people benefit from this as I'm sure it will be a brilliant board when these little niggles are fixed and if all it needs is upgraded batteries then so be it. Best people knowing this than not.

Video is nice and clear... that's why it's possible tae see the Wife (?) chuckling in the background :haha: . Personally I'd set the camera/ smartphone up in Landscape mode, not pictorial if I were you. Great sounds by the way. But.. I can't help
thinking one of the neighbours might well phone the coppers with all that shouting (in german too :O ) and shooting going on :D ...
You'll have a SWAT team pummelling your door in next time :lolno: :lolno:
