Finally got to fly today after straightening out the gimbal wiring mix-up. Much better than last time, when the gimbal flopped around and spazzed-out.
Installed the 1.3.0 upgrade before I flew. Just like the 1.2.0 upgrade, I got the "Upgrade Complete-Press 'A' to Continue" screen and a totally frozen controller. Unplugged and re-plugged the battery the same as before and off I went. When did that upgrade (Android) come out, anyway?
I just stuck to basic control testing and it all seemed to go well. I hadn't even studied up on how to do the Smart shots yet; I just wanted to see if the gimbal needed to be returned or not.
The sun was directly overhead and I couldn't see my display at all, so I kept it low and slow, shooting a couple of movies on one flight and taking some stills on a second. I also forgot the sunshade for the GoPro (Hero4 Silver).
The video resolution was set at 4K with the maximum frame-rate of 15/sec. This makes a video that looks not quite choppy, but distinctly "off" when there is any directional or rotational motion. I got much better results two weeks ago with lower-res and higher frame rate....
I'm stoked on one hand, but on the other realize I don't have much of a clue yet what I'm doing.
Very relieved the gimbal seems to be functioning. After all, that could have been another car payment.
