UDI U818A: My drone wont take pictures or video

Mon, 01 Oct 2018 05:41:27 -0700

My drone wont take pictures or video as if the 2gb SD card is not storing it so I thought it might be that the storage is full but after deleting lots of pictures I still can’t seem to get my drone to take pics. So I figured out that the controller could be a problem and I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on how to fix it.

Thanks.

UDI U818A: Why does my drone turn off if it is landed on the ground for 5 seconds

Mon, 27 Nov 2017 18:56:01 -0700

Whenever my drone will land it will turn off and it won't fly back up I don't think it is battery shortage. Whenever it lands I have to unplug the battery cord from the thing that connects to the cord. Then when I just try to turn it back on without the unplug it will sync but no beeping. It will not work please help I do not want to unplug and plug the cords together every single time it lands.

UDI U818A: Connection Keeps Cutting off

Mon, 04 Jul 2016 21:09:51 -0700

My drone experienced a drop crash from about 10 meters, the housing was damaged and I started having connection issues. When I first turn it on the drone will fly normally but after around 30 seconds it either performs what it does when the battery is flat or the signals just cut off and the drone just falls. I have checked the board and nothing seems to be damaged nor disconnected. I'm not sure if it is the battery but when the drone does cut off I am unable to reconnect to it unless I disconnect the battery and restart it.
