So I just got my solo a few weeks ago and have really liked it a lot. A huge step up from my old Phantom 1. That thing was scary to fly.
I plan to take some aerial (video) shots in Iceland in a couple of weeks. Iceland is a great place for Aerials, but it can also be a bit windy... just a bit.
I am also shooting with a modded GoPro with a 5.4mm lens attached. So it's almost twice the focal length of the stock lens. I have noticed that even with little wind, I get some micro jitters in my footage. So far, I have been able to smooth that out with warp stabilize pretty well. However, I am wanting to get my Solo running as smooth as possible before my trip so that I can squeeze the absolute best footage possible out of it.
So my question is this: What can I do to get it running as smooth as possible?
I just balanced my gimbal yesterday.
I just bought a prop balancer also, so there's that.
Should I mess with balancing the motors?
Are there any aftermarket props that could help with stabilization, and perhaps even increase flight time just a bit?
Any other tips and tricks that I might not know. I've done a good bit of reading through this forums and others, but I might have missed something.
Any feedback would be most appreciated.
