700 Kraken powerloss

What would cause a momentary loss of power?!. I have grounded my kraken until I figure this out. Attached are two clips that shows the power cutting out, then coming back. I use an ar7210bx, a dx8, and the hw 200amp esc just running straight throttle curves. The first time it happened I just thought I hit throttle hold by accident. Then I put the hat cam on to capture the problem. Thanks for anyones time and help on this.

I really appreciate the response. I narrowed it down to a loose wire coming from my dsmx satellite. I changed it out and it flys like a boss. I fly alone so it's a real pia sometimes to diagnose problems if there's nobody around to help.

I here you Rowdy. I fly alone too. That's why I rigged a camera on a baseball cap. That way I can record my flights for my own personal footage and if there's no crash...you tube video for the public then lol.

Good that you found the problem. I was going to say, it looked like failsafe activating either due to brownout or a receiver 'hold' (lost reception). Having a FBL/receiver that does data logging and RSSI telemetry is invaluable for diagnosing (or avoiding) this type of issue, takes all the guesswork out of it.
