Last Sunday in the sand dunes

Andy Tomczyk · Aug 11, 2015

Here is some video I shot this past Sunday. Great day to be out on the water! This was shot at 1080P-30fps, no gimbal. There is a lot of waviness in the video that I believe is from the propellers. I know the gimbal will help. Any other tips to get rid of this waviness, either GoPro setting or post editing with Studio? Thanks.

I understand prop balancing will help as well.

I haven't used it but you could also try some Moongel Dampening Material.

that was nice.

Looks good! Set your frame rate to 60 fps and put on an ND filter. ND helps lessen the jello effect.

Thank you all so much for the feedback. I am looking into the prop balancing and checking out more on the lens filter. I have been playing with various shutter speed settings as well. This has been a great forum for new drone flyers. I have picked up many tips on these posts. Great community! Thanks, Andy

Hi Andy,

I have Du-Bro "Tru-Spin Prop Balancer" On UPS truck, will be here soon..

Many good reviews from B&H.
As already suggested, ND filter, 60FPS & prop balancing, should do the trick.
Also...

There are many tricks in post production that can stabilize your video.

Have fun with your new Solo!

I utilize the Dubro balancer as well. One of the better adjusting features I saw would add tape to the engine, pivoting of a turn every time, until there was clear change... at that point include more tape until vibes are just about gone... at that point I'd attempt to move the tape to the prop to get the minute adjusted.
