Fat Shark Scout shuts off randomly
#1
I have a pair of Fat Shark Scout Goggles that are about 9 months old and they are randomly just shutting down (which is always a little disconcerting when I'm flying.  haha!)  It doesn't happen 'frequently' but it's happened maybe 5-10 times in the last few months. 

The state of charge doesn't seem to have any bearing (they've shut down at anywhere from 50% - 90% charge) and after I hit the power button they come right back on and work fine.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

Thanks!!
Sam

How are you powering the goggles? Did you try different 18650 cells? Probably the built in voltage regulator is starting to give up.

Happened to me too, once... freaked me out! I turned off the 'Auto Power Off' setting and it hasn't happened since. Might be a coincidence...

I'll try the auto off thing! I didn't even know it was an option. haha! Thanks!

And no, I have not tried a different cell yet. If the auto off doesn't help that will be my next step!

Thanks to you both!
