I i have a strong interest in this thread because My H is also doing similar erratic behavior. I wanted to sell it locally in a consignment shop, and aware that "some kid" might get it I wanted to make a tut video to show how to do things. I have not flown this bird in many months. Before, it...

No it was salt water. I went back twice and dredged for it, but never did catch it. It's gone by now for sure!

I did not add any more safety stops ... in fact, thought about removing mine ... what are they for, anyway? Might have a reason to try various dampers ... thinking about flying a 360 spherical cam ...

I could not fly today (sloppy snow/rain/wind) but as to the cold and dampening, I will say that I have flown off my front area after taking the H out of my living room near the wood stove, and had the same effect ... I dont' think warming them does anything .. they are already warm. One thing...

oh, wait, there is audio ... how embarrassing.

OK, this is the WORST video ever. Forgot to render it with audio so you could laugh. After doing this I worked with the putty some more, on both gimbals. I did manage to balance yaw pretty decent .. both gimbals are front heavy, so a dab of putty covered with gaffer's tape (as all of the...

I see Marks' jiggles! Same thing, yep. Could it be they are exacerbated by cold? Mebbe.

Of late it's been reported to be as low as 6F in that area ... I'd guesstimate it was likely around 10-15 yesterday based on the way my fingers and toes felt. Wind chill is significant. Haven't watched Mark's video yet ... in a little bit the internet here will speed back up ...

It's fun stuff, that. Would not be caught without it. I use it for lots of things. Anyway, to clarify my definitions tilt=camera up/down, and roll=horizon side to side. I don't worry about yaw for this cam. But here's the thing, and ANYONE reading this, PLEASE NOTE!!! I screwed up big...

Haha ... perfect. No, I appreciate it. Especially now, as I just had to scrap a really neat shot that would not stabilize (one of the fist shots in my mist video) becasue there is too much mist and water ... and the jiggles were nasty. Warp Stablizer made it worse. Here's the thing: That...

A perfectly balanced thing (gimbal/prop) will stay in ANY position you leave it.

Got a call from a friend, so didn't get to work on this, so this is the stock lens, of course the Peau lens is used in different location (I hate that!) but I'll get that up tomorrow FUNNY ... I am seeing lots of twitching and jiggles now in the Stock lens, where I never did before .. it is...

Lead strips would be great .. but the problem is I can't figure out where to put the weight to make this phenomenon stop happening ... (using putty for now) ... I'll exercise my brain some more and work on it. Lead will take less space than the putty, so I'll go there after I figure it out...

All props are balanced ... now .... they were all unbalanced. Working on gimbal now. Will report tomorrow. Not sure if this gimbal is POSSIBLE to balance ... roll is easy, but tilt is off ... it hangs level now if I leave it level, but no way to make it stay put if at 90 degree tilt ...
