    Advice on DIY vs sending in to Yuneec

    I finally found the root cause. After months of looking for answers (and initiating three different threads on this forum seeking answers) I finally found what was causing all my video to jello. I suspected there was something wrong with my dampeners last week when I started this thread. I...

    Advice on DIY vs sending in to Yuneec

    Thank you. I have tested for electrical interference and did not find anything conclusive. I get jello at almost all times. @CraigCam, I did have to replace the original mounting plate. However, it was not difficult to install the four "round" dampeners that came with my replacement parts...

    Advice on DIY vs sending in to Yuneec

    I may have found it. I don't know the names of parts well enough to describe what I think I found - but it may have to do with the size (height?) of my replacement dampeners. Dampeners are supposed to maintain a certain distance between the upper and lower part of the gimbal (the upper part...

    Advice on DIY vs sending in to Yuneec

    I'm so sorry for the delayed reply. Thank you. I will try the steps you mention. To add another detail - when the TH is on and resting on a table with no motors, I can hear (and feel) the camera vibrating. It will stop vibrating for as long as I hold it steady with my hand, but then...

    Advice on DIY vs sending in to Yuneec

    I still struggle with the jello affect in my videos and am going crazy with my failed attempts at correcting it. My attempts have made a huge impact in that the waviness has decreased a ton, but it's still not enough. I already called Yuneec to have it serviced, but have not sent it in because...

    Battery causing jello effect?

    After making some home repairs, my video sometimes contain wavy lines (jello effect). I've been able to resolve 95% of the affect after adjusting my dampeners, balancing props, and re-securing internal wires, etc. but I still experience jello on occasion. The other day, I noticed that videos...

    Wind effects on the TH

    I often wonder if POV comes into play when the TH is at a low elevation vs a higher elevation. Mine seems to drift a little (nothing that has me overly concerned) when I'm at low altitudes and near homes or other large structures, then appears more stable when I'm above the "interfering"...

    Advice after my first crash and repair - chapter 1

    Thank you. I tightened up the pins in the opposite corners (The new ones came with a couple of hex nuts) and did shave down one side of 1 propeller. The video came out much better today, though still not perfect. I will order the correct arm and see if that's the difference.

    Advice after my first crash and repair - chapter 2

    Vibration is present from the moment I turn it on. It persists when I turn the props. I wont tell you how I know that :).

    Advice after my first crash and repair - chapter 2

    I have, several times. While it's going through the calibration, the vibrating stops. Then when it finishes, it goes right back to vibrating.

    Advice after my first crash and repair - chapter 2

    I got tangled in a branch and... you can imagine what happened. I've replaced all the broken parts and when turning the bird on to calibrate everything, noticed that my CGO 3 Pro vibrates something terrible. It vibrates very quickly and hums due to the speed of the vibration. If I grab ahold...

    Advice after my first crash and repair - chapter 1

    I got tangled in a branch and wound up with a few broken parts. I ordered all the parts and found that I mistakenly ordered a "A" arm instead of a "B" arm. Since I ordered only the arm and not the accompanying motor, I thought it would be fine to remove the "B" motor from the broken arm and...

    Going to take a trip this weekend to Ketchikan. Any "can't miss" places I need to keep in mind for quality video?

    My New Strobes

    What a neatidea. I would have gone years without thinking of doing something like this. Is the purpose to allow you to maintain better sight of the bird, or just 'cause it's cool?
