what were the settings?

I wouldn't get too excited about this. We only get a few minutes of footage. Sure it looks stable, but I wouldn't go as far as saying its more stable than 3DR footage. Also, they are pretty early in their development stage, no one really knows what this thing will be capable off. Relax and...

My guess is you drained the battery beyond being able to keep it in the air, plus the cold temperature will drain the battery at a much faster rate giving you a skewed readout. Luckily you were 10 feet in the air, and not 50.

So I bought the Du-Bro Balancer (DU-BRO Tru-Spin Prop Balancer #1 | Tech Tip Videos | Du-Bro Products, Inc.) and made a quick attempt at balancing the props. What I mean by quick is they weren't perfectly balanced - I used the tape technique, and was a bit impatient. I'll probably end up sanding...

Thanks, I'll have a look tonight

Just go into the timed photo setting in GoPro, set your photo rate to a specific timer and start shooting before taking off.

Where and how do I check this? Lucas

Hmm footage is stable as @#@#! I've notice that my video is getting progressively more jello-e and shaky with the colder temperatures. Might need to look under the hood to see if cables started shifting around.

So 3DRobotics reviewed the flight logs and said its operating per spec. Also a few of those flights weren't on a fully charged battery - and when I mean fully charge I mean - when the lights go completely off after the charge is complete. Also I found if your GoPro is fully charged, it consumes...

Haha you got your wish... good win for the Royals

That's what the users on these message boards have been saying... super slow pans!

Thank you for your responses. I will try balancing the props and get back to you too see if the issue persists. It may not be an issue as some of you have stated. I did a night flight where this shake wasn't as visible and I'm guessing that was due to the fact that wind was almost non existent.

Will keep you updated guys, thanks - mind you I did have some gusts of wind that day.
