Hi All
I am using pretty resourceful and will search and search for errors/issues and can normally work things out for myself, this time I am stumped. Here goes:
I have 3 solos , two run open solo 3 an one is still on the last 3DR version 2.42 from memory. I have a carbon fibre mount that holds a Nikon J5 with rc6 used as a tilt that I fly successfully on the 2.42 drone. I have made up a concept mount (aluminum ) for one of my Open Solos and use rc6 for tilt and rc7 for a shutter servo, works fine but does not fly well, all over the place, if I put my fixed mount (solo gopro fixed mount with a bigger frame (aluminium) to hold the Nikon J5) its worse. I do a compass and level callibration each time I change mounts and reboot.
If got the better of me and I put my carbon fibre mount on the open solo 3 bird , re-calibrated the compass and levels, rebooted, no errors or warnings and flew, flies much better but a bit all over the place when you hover. I had a quick look at the auto analysis of the log (bin 10) in mission planner and it mentions compass/ satellites etc. I looked at a log from my 2.42 version bird and the compass is better but same number of satellites.
I don't think its a problem with open solo 3 just me not knowing what to change to make it better. Here is a link to a log from open solo3 with the carbon fibre mount I always use on my 2.42 bird

My 3rd bird is on open solo and it uses the standard gimbal and flies fine. I know this thread is a bit long winded but as you can see I have tried everything that I can think of within my knowledge range. I'm guessing open solo 3 might need a tweek on my bird as the payload is also a bit heavier than the standard gimbal and gopro. Just for refernce my 2.42 bird with my carbon gimbal and Nikon J5 gets around 16 min of flight time so even though it is slight heavier it still has good flight time.
