Ha! Classic! :nevreness:

That should fix it. I thought it was odd when you mentioned you flicked the switch between both parts of the calibration. It would explain your symptoms. Good luck. :02.47-tranquillity:

You don't have to cycle the mode switch after the horizontal calibration. The flow diagram in the manual is misleading. At the green light just start the vertical bit.

Now I have to ask, what do you mean by vibes? Vibes are generally considered high frequency vibrations that only really show up on the video. I think you're describing oscillations or fast wobbling, which are caused by high gains. Lower gains for less weight. You're correct there.

And how did you setup the failsafe? Sounds like you may have bound it with the throttle at 0%. What transmitter/receiver combo you using?

You have to adjust the scale by putting in a calculation. There's a DJI video about it somewhere.... Here it is, at 5:45 :

That makes sense. The footage they showed is just normal filming by the looks of it. I don't doubt that this will be a reality in the near future though.

Vibes pretty much come from motors and props, props being the main source in my opinion. To be honest if you don't get any vibes on your footage there's no need to chase things. Is the gimbal balanced?

The designers posted on here a few weeks back. Alas we didn't give them a very warm welcome as it seemed 'too good to be true.' The footage on the product showreel leaves many unanswered questions such as if they are flying past obstacles, like in the video, the phantom won't be able to avoid...

In much the same way you would for the tail blades on an rc helicopter. You could just weigh each blade with some digital scales and sand a bit off the heavier one. Maybe remove any labels on the motors also, every little bit helps. :nevreness:

Hmmm, I'm not sure with your 5D. With my GH2 I have to manually switch to photo mode on the ground, which is a shame. At least it's better to start recording without input than to stop without input. :nevreness: A few extra files won't matter too much.

It may be how you trigger it. Do you flick the switch on and off or just one way? I used to just be able to flick the shutter release one way and it would start/stop, but a firmware upgrade meant I now have to flick it down then up, if that makes any sense...

That's the one. Same shop too. You are basically just looking for saturation of your control frequency. I just check any noise is less than the peaks of my transmitter signal. All I ever detect is wireless signals, which have limited range. Bluetooth shows up a little too but is very weak.

I'm glad I stayed under 7Kg. All still the same for me. Dave - I use the RCexplorer 2.4GHz scanner if that makes any difference. Works well.

That was great Bret! You've got it going on! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtfQg4KkR88

Have you balanced your propellers? Good place to start. :02.47-tranquillity:

That looked great Dave! No fault with that footage. :nevreness: Is that one of those mysterious Helicopter Girls I see? They're a rare breed...

How did you make the music mate?

Congrats Angus! What made you decide to do the B cert?

It wasn't too long for me either, but the Youtube average viewers attention is 1:50 seconds, according to some guy down the pub... This is the same advice someone gave me a while ago. Keeps people wanting more apparently. :nevreness:
