Another test flight to get to the right settings on the Gimbal.
(The third day actually)
Weather is definitely not right for this, its windy and turbulent (look at some of the trees)
Balanced Plastic Vision Props on T Motored Phantom 1. Arris CM3000, with 4 softballs and 4 hardballs.
Alexmos (2.3b) settings:
PID settings:
Roll: 26,0.3,22
Pitch: 10,0.3,22
Yaw: 12,0.3,12
Power: Roll, 104, Pitch 64, Yaw, 84
Gyro Thrust 110
Follow Yaw, on, deadband 6 degrees.
Compensate Voltage Drop on at 12,4 volts (if this works on the CM3000)
Dissatisfied on the results, again some horizon drift, too much vibes, may want to do advanced calibration again, sigh.
I added another variable to the tests in between, changed 4 soft to hardballs (out of eight), not good to do if you want to get PID's etc right.
I also asked if they would keep the weather consistent over a few days, since I am testing, but they didn't listen.
The Phantom was shaking around a lot during this flight. Didn't take it up high, probably more adverse wind effects.
I think you see two kind of vibes in this video. One of them is airframe (micro) vibrations, don't think its micro vibes from the gimbal as a result of too high power, another low frequency vibe is from the gimbal not really keeping up.
Gopro Black+, Shot at 60fps wide, cut a bit and saved as 29,97 fps 1080p, saved with average bitrate 4000 kb/s, actual bitrate 3555 kb/s (no sound) 4:18 minutes, file size 112,546 KB
Next step, get the softballs back on my guess is that they are better for reducing vibes, but OMG they are soft, and easily removed, a big pull on the Gimbal and the thing comes loose I guess. Wait for some less turbulent weather, reduce gyro thrust again. See how she goes.

Even youtube detected my video was a bit shaky
