Attitude v3 Google feed quits after 3-10 sec
Hey guys, I recently built my first quad following the design laid out by FPV Flight Club at this location. I used his parts list exactly, and have had several successful LoS flights. I decided to purchase a FPV headset (Attitude v3) so that I could start with full-on FPV flights. Unfortunately after anywhere from 2 to 10 seconds my video feed will simply stop very abruptly. I will always get a video feed for a few seconds when I plug up, it will be in color and appears to be pretty high quality, but shortly thereafter the feed will cut and I'll be left with "busy" static (scrolling lines, not exactly white noise.. but nothing resembling an image). I've checked my solder joints & connections.. but I can't seem to figure out what's going on. I'm a little worried the goggles themselves might be to blame as I've read of a firmware problem with some newer models that manifests in this way. What do you think the problem could be?

I would try troubleshoot with as many controlled situations as possible.
As soon you can replicate it, go to fatshark.
Thanks for the tips Redinkidonk. I'll have to get my hands on some spare parts to verify.
Regarding #4, it doesn't go black or to snow.. It's kinda staticy with black lines tracking across the screen. There is no indication that it's anything related to the feed it's getting from the quad. Also when this happens the AV Tx module on the quad will have multiple channels lit up, I might be able to get a video of it this afternoon to help illustrate. I'm not sure what dictates what channels will be lit on my Tx module, but I'd assume it doesn't have any bearing on my Rx module or goggles.
Sounds like your vtx is overheating and dropping out. Are you using the 600mw or 200mw vtx? The 600 could be drawing too much power from the regulator.
I'd get a replacement vtx and see if it still persists.
Part of this hobby is having a spare / extra everything.

Here's my vtx, it's adjustable.. and it does get pretty hot.. even still 2-10 seconds seems like a very short amount of time for it to completely shut itself off..? It does tend to last longer indoors (where it's cooler), which might help explain why my field tests seem to cut out much more quickly.
have you tried the lowest power output?
It could also be an issue with your PDB just not supplying enough current.
