Camera judders

Abby Harts · Sep 1, 2016

I have a question about the H's camera. is my camera faulty, when i tilt it down it does not do it in one smooth motion. it judders a bit and i did not notice it before. It's only a month old is this normal or should i return it before the warranty is up. Thanks x

With the power off move the camera around and up and down slowly and see if you feel any tight spots or binding. If it's smooth then power it up and try again to see if it's still jerky or smooth.
If you still have a problem then call Yuneec.

Sounds like you have a fault in the gimbal. I don't think it'll cure itself, so I'd give Yuneec a call and discuss it with them.

Did you ever start it with the gimbal protector on lately? If so, it could have stripped the plastic gimbal gear?

Might try a calibration.
BTW, thanks for making me look up a new word. You Brits, lol.

Thanks DroneClone. no i have not done that, It's not much but if I was filming I would have to edit a few frames out so you could not see the judder.
