"Good: Why in the heck do you have that many drones? "

Because I'm single.

That works both ways.

Why are you single?

Because I have too many drones.

Hahahaha

So I flew again today trying to make sure the gimbal was nice and free to move. I got 2 of the worst vidoes I have ever recorded. So much jello effect that I don't even think I can get a still shot. I also had a loss of control on the first flight. Just started drifting and the controller was vibrating. It was up about 100ft and 50 ft out. So far this is a complete POS. I could get better video with a kite.

put a rubber washer on the goPro screw and dont tighten it too much. vibration is loss of signal. how did you have your antennas placed down and out i hope?

GoPro screw? I'm lost.

Did you make sure you did your compass calibration prior to 1st flight? Could explain your drifting.

I'm getting very bad jello and pixelation on all flights. I tried adjusting the camera frame rate as well as playing with the cord. I really hope the gimbal fixes these problems. It won't fix the pixelation, though - anybody else having that problem?

Pixelation? Gimbal is not going to help that. Is this happening at close range too or just distance as the signal drops. I assume this is just on your device and not on your SD card.

Did you have your GoPro wifi turned off?

Earldgrayjr · Jul 20, 2015

As mentioned, is the pixelation on the recording? Or the live video?

If recording, try viewing on a heftier PC. If that doesn't solve it, it could be the camera.

If it is live feed look at signal. If signal is OK try heftier tablet. Antennas pointing DOWN at 45 degs?

If signal, try FPLR or DBMods aftermarket antennas.

It may seem obvious regarding Jello, but...have you balanced the props?

ND Filter is a necessity for decent video - mostly useless video without it.. GoPRO 3+ Filers

Well, the flight was the second day I had it and I ran it up to 400' (where it loss signal during a slow pan and returned home). This is my first drone and I really have no experience with this sort of thing. Like an idiot, I haven't even removed my MSD card to look at it - I'm sure the pixelation will not show up there.

Props have not been balanced and I do not have an ND filter. I read the earlier info on balancing, which I will do. Where can I find the ND filters? I will also point antennas properly from now on.

Thanks guys!

Trying to figure out why we're entertaining convo about bad video when most of us know that if you expect anything other than bad video without a gimbal then you yourself have a screw loose. I didn't watch the video but I'll agree; yup - it's bad video!
