Hey Guys, first post here. I've read and learned a lot from this forum, but now I'm the one in need of assistance. I have a DJI Flamewheel 550 equipped with FireFly Q6 cam, iOSD mini, Black Mamba VTX, and Black Pearl diversity monitor. I've had multiple FPV problems over the years, but a couple years ago, the video just quit working. i was getting telemetry on the monitor screen from the iOSD mini, but no live video. I replaced the cam with the exact same model, and I have live video again, but the monitor is displaying in black and white instead of color. I've been through all the settings of the monitor and cam, but don't see anything related to B&W vs. Color. Any suggestions/solutions would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance...

OK, I finally got the solution. When I was testing different cables, etc. to see which would work best, I just twisted the video out wire from the cam, with the wire that goes to the iOSD mini. That's what caused the black and white video. But when I soldered those leads, the color came back, so it was a poor connection the whole time.
