I have noticed that I am having similar issues lately. I lowered the gimbal for better clearance and I relocated the power cable to the camera so that it would not catch on anything. The gimbal is perfectly smooth when powered up and carried around. The vibration is coming from the Phantom...

Yep, When installing mine I dropped on of the screws down into the phantom itself through the hole where the wires come out. It took me the better part of an hour of articulating and shaking the thing before the screw finally dropped out.

I think you are right on the fitting issue. I have been looking at cases and this is why I haven't bought a case yet. I am doubtful anyone is going to make a case to accommodate this, but I am curious if the case can be modified easily enough because at this point, I will forgo the case for the...

Here is the link to the wide/tall landing skids as well as some pictures showing the clearance and a picture showing the old skids vs the new http://victoryhomes.com/landing-skid-upgrade

Welcome loquacious and steves - Good luck on your gimbal. I had been following these since the announcement of the dronexperts through to the near vaporware of the rotorpixl and the seamed complexity of the taco. This product finally hit the right price/availability/completeness/ease of use that...

**** fishes. Every client I have has waterfront property that needs to be shot from the water, so I charge enough to off set the risk or as for a $2000 refundable deposit on water shots.

The gear have more flex to them, because they are wider and taller and the material are about the same thickness as stock. That being said, I has a crash from about 20 feet, they protected the gimbal which rides very low with the stock gear, and gave me a little bounce vs either snapping or...

First fully autonomous flight with the new ground station app for the vision: http://youtu.be/XEaixYGSUQk Still tuning the gimbal, but I think a large part of my problems are related to the prop guards. They catch the wind like a sail and I can say that they have altered the flight...

I just installed the wider and taller landing skids that are available on ebay. They give you an extra inch and a half or so of height and have a significantly wider stance which helps with landing when you have a cross breeze. In fact I think I am going to remove my prop guards as they act like...

Thats pretty smooth. Most of what you are seeing now is rolling shutter from the camera on your rotations (3rd axis gimbal would smooth some of this out but not completely) and it looks like a lot of your jello would be solves by removing the fish eye in post production. I bet that would be...

Make sure the camera cable is plugged in all the way. There is a firm click when it is. I thought mine was for the first flight but it wasn't. Quick way to tell is the indicator light and fan noise on the camera itself. Minor coronary and a head slap later, back in action.

Hey Piranha, Thanks for posting your settings. So far you seem to have the smoothest results. I will be giving these a try sometime this week when the weather cooperates. For anyone else considering the gimbal, it was $330 with overnight shipping that installed in under 30 minutes. I had looked...

Here was my first video in the raw: http://youtu.be/xldKeF4R9GM The gimbal was a bit jittery but it was because of the way I had the wires bunched together. I have solved this issue at least at the dining room table, and I will do a full gimbal calibration using Macuser and Piranha's settings...

After seeing MacUser and Pirannas videos I ordered the gimbal with overnight shipping. I had emailed rotorpixl to see if they had caught up on their backlog and they did not respond. I was also unsure about that design as cradle covers the side of the camera that says do not cover. I received...
