While using my Phantom 2 with H3-3D gimbal and GP 3+ black I used to get some minor jello when flying in bright conditions. Jello appeared normally while the quad was in motion or when it was windy. I think that was quite normal and I used ND filter when needed.

After changing to hero 4 black I think jello was mostly eliminated while flying, but my last flight I noticed jello while in hover and when the quad was in motion it disappeared. The weather was really cold (no wind) and there was snow and bright sun light and I was shooting with out filter, but still I thought it was strange that the jello appeared while hovering.

Could there be some gain value that I should maybe change for GP 4, because it is slightly heavier and I use small counterweight for it?

To be quite honest I still have hard time to understand what each gain value is actually doing. I have experimented some, but still I am bit lost.

Thanks
 
The gimbal is very temperamental in the cold. It needs to be perfectly balanced otherwise the motors will overload and vibrate.

That might be the case since it was about -15C (5F) that day. It was my first flight with GP4 in bright sunlight, so I need to test it next time in a bit warmer conditions and see how is the jello.
The weather here in Finland have been mainly horrible for last 2 or 3 months with lot of rain and no sunny days.
