    Tarot 2D Gimbal not levelling

    What the hell happened? Major crash!

    Here is a segment from my last flight. Mid-flight all the rotors just cut off and I crashed. Does anyone have an idea on what happened. I have a few thoughts myself. I don't think its an ESC issue since all of the motors cut off at the same time and it's not a battery issue because I checked...
