More Stuff

I have some video showing the problem with the Sony DPC 480A AWB and the red hue it has. Turns out, it isn't triggering the DSP to resample on power up without proper amounts of white in the screen. You can force it to trigger/sample by transitioning through the menu settings from fixed->manual->ATW->AWB and it clears everything up. Problem is, it is again hosed the next time you power up. But, setting it to ATW (whatever that is), makes it sample/power up fine everytime. I'm not sure if changing the manual settings to have less red will help where it powers up at or not in AWB mode (probably, but I tried factory resetting it a bunch of times and it was still messed up).

I also went out flying today again with some REALLY dialed back RTH settings. It was WINDY, but we tried it anyway. Unfortunately, something was causing interferance like CRAZY with the video signal. And we couldn't really navigate the menus. But I did bring it in and change settings a couple times and it actually worked better than it has ever worked. It turned it and headed it back toward us, but the problem was, once it got turned back toward us, it tried to turn back and it sort of went into a spiral. I'm more convinced than ever that I need to be able to manually set the turn/pitch limits rather than use the wizard.
