Zenmuse x5 camera stopped working, there have been no incidents with the drone or camera ever, it has been every lightly used, took it to cancun mexico from dallas texas and flew it for few days before the camera stopped responding, made a flight on 7-22-16 morning and worked fine, tried to make a flight same day afternoon and there was no display from the camera. The drone was connected with the controller with a green light but camera wasn’t responding. When I got back home from my vacation on 7/25/2016 I tried connecting my old camera zenmuse x3 and it works fine so at this point there’s something wrong with zenmuse x5 camera. Zenmusex5 camera comes on when connected with the red light blinking. Any one have had this problem? i still have 5 months left on 1yr warranty so ill contact dji on monday.

A short clip i took in cancun:

Welcome to the stuff dont work club. Mine has been down for about 3 weeks now.

would it help to reinstall the fw by downgrading and then reinstalling the latest... not sure why the flash memory wont hold the first time... propbaly sun spots or weird emp glitch...

Just to clarify, did you notice this issue after a firmware update, or just while you were traveling? Were you able to get a RMA number for your camera?

I have got the same problem....

Could you happen to elaborate as to what troubleshooting steps you've already tried?

I guess the gimbal initialises alright?
Have you tried formatting the SD card/trying a new SD card (does the file structure on a new card get created?)
Although there's no video, do you have gimbal control?

It'd pay to carefully check the connections on the mounting plate (was the camera removed between the working/non-working event?) also check the aerial connections on the lightbridge to ensure nothing has become disconnected

I've been having major  connection issues, too.
X5 camera #1 - received with missing parts ... could not upload firmware unto camera, after 3+ hours of trying with the help of Alex and James at DJI support (they're great).
X5 camera #2 - received with missing parts and an image on the SD card ... took a bit, but uploaded firmware (yay!), but iPad on RC is not receiving image transmissions. After lots of trying different procedures and reboots and new DJI Go app, still no luck. They had me take a screen shot of the DJI Go app with that message and are now evaluating. Alex said I may need to send in the M600 Pro and the camera for them to work on, which would take 2+ weeks - my response, "no way"
UGH... apparently, I am the only one with X5 issues this week - I cannot help but wonder if the camera is just junk.

Hi I had this problem yesterday no picture at all.
So I changed the SD Card and the viewing picture came back. But could not find any pictures that I had taken afterwards, very odd,
