Check the pins on camera mount. Look for corrosion or bent pins.

 

[Presman]

They all look to be in pristine condition

The outer ones on the top row are both bent...... in this picture.
If yours look good, try refreshing the FW.

I'm saying mine are lol

I had an intermittent loss of video a while ago which I cured by replacing that connector and the associated ribbon cable that connects to it.

These parts are readily available from DJI and not too difficult to fit if you are handy with a screwdriver...

 

[Presman]

Whats the parts?

So basically what's going on here is it's cutting out. The connections seem to be in perfect condition. I have an image to start out when I connect my phone(Samsung s7). But when I move the camera or fly off I lose it. I just called a certified technician and he says that it could be the remote, or possibly an antenna issue or maybe the camera.

 

[Presman]

Okay. I just hate to do that if that's not the issue

It worked for me, your mileage may vary.

 

[Presman]

I appreciate the advice! It probably wouldn't hurt to replace it anyways lol

Have you tried cleaning the contacts on both camera an aircraft?

I had transmission issues with my X5 after not using it for a while over winter - when I jiggled it the problem disappeared so I cleaned the contacts with a little of this and it's been fine so far:

Maybe worth a try.

I was flying it to try and figure out what was wrong and a bird knocked it out of the sky. I have a lot to repair now.

 

[Presman]

It broke 3 landing gear legs, the VPS, the camera gimbal arm and frame around the camera and I lost a prop. Extremely frustrated.

 

[Presman]

So the gimbal broke in half. Do I have to buy a new camera?

 

[Chipdji]

Man you are not having good luck at all. Sorry for your problems.

 

[AeroMirage]

That SUX......

there are also some people replacing the gimbal camera cable inside the nose cover, which has solved some folks issues

Hey Pressman,
What are you flying on your Inspire 1, hardware, camera, software? I just solved mine (Inspire 1 Pro with the dual controllers, M4/3 camera with the 14-42mmzoom a d new motors). Please provide more details and I might have 3 possible solutions....
