Hello everyone.
I recently added a 2 axis gimbal to my Phantom 1 and it works great! However, I've noticed that the front of my Phantom is significantly heavier now with the gimbal and GoPro mounted to it. Before I mounted the gimbal my Phantom would simply rise as I took off. Now, as I take off it lifts and pushes forward a few feet until it gains enough momentum to correct itself.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about. Note how it lurches forward as it initially rises:

I was thinking about getting something like this:

to relocate the battery and relocate the weight.
My question is, does anyone think relocating the battery under the drone and towards the rear will have an adverse effect on flight?
