Hey guys,
In previous topic i mentioned that i was trying to mod a gimbal for my P2V so i could use the stock camera with a 2 axis gimbal. I managed to short out the camera and have since decided to use my GoPro Hero 3 to do the job.
I went to just have a test flight while i wait for the last of my new FPV gear to arrive and test out the gimbal with the GoPro but appear to have run into an issue.... The whole Phantom shakes, I'm not talking just the gimbal having a bit of jello shake, this is something you can hear all through the phantom and the motors trying to adjust for it.
Here is some footage of it flying, it's hard to hear over the wind from the props, but you can hear that this is not just a jello problem. You can physically see the Phantom shakes and this footage shows how its a fast and fairly aggressive shake.

The gimbal function works fine, camera keeps still and level and i have tested different softness rubber dampers, but this seems something more.
Is it because of the gimbal sitting so low that the balance is off? I chose this one as originally i was trying to fit the big vision camera in.
