I got a Tinyhawk 2 and noticed something weird – every time I crash or even disarm from just a couple feet up, the VTX shuts off and I can’t see the camera feed. To get it back on, I have to unplug the battery and plug it back in. Is this something that could be fixed in BetaFlight or is there a way to use a controller switch to turn it back on? Or is this a VTX problem? Any ideas would be appreciated!
Do you still see the OSD (on-screen display) elements? If not, it’s probably your VTX. Might be a loose component causing this.

Nope, after a crash, my goggles just go into static. I’m using the stock VTX, and the antenna is a little loose. It’s strapped right next to the battery. Could that be the problem?

That shouldn’t be the issue. It sounds like it might be something else.

I’ll test it more once the batteries are charged. When I bumped up the power from 25mW to 100mW, it seemed to stop happening, though.
Check the capacitor wires. I had similar issues with my 5" racers, and replacing the capacitor and wires solved the problem for me.

Thanks for the tip, I’ll check that out!
