Hey y'all,  I'm having an issue with a freshly built quad.  Video is fine for up to 30 seconds and the frame darkens and shift over before coming back into focus.  Using a Diatone Mamba Tx400.  I run all three of my quads on Race1 and the other two quads using TBS unify pros don't have this issue ever.  I know its not wifi, as this same thing happened yesterday in a huge rural field and I was forced to do a rough landing.  Is this voltage interference?  My cam signal wire is about a half inch from LIPO leads and almost touches the capacitor

It's likely a RapidFIRE issue with the camera and/or VTX not being fully compatible with it. Are you running the RapidFIRE in mode 1 or mode 2?

Using Mode 1.

Try mode 2 instead and see if that solves the issue. Mode 2 has less camera / vtx compatibility issues and a lot of people seem to run the RapidFIRE in that mode purely to avoid those type of issues. You can also try changing the sync lock setting to see if it improves things.

Make sure you are also on the latest RapidFIRE firmware version.

That did the trick!! Thank you as always for your help!!  When the video would roll over I would hear a beep from my rapid fire module when it restored, this must have been it switching to mode 1 on its own.
