Yes i see you live near my friend he about few mile from you i had a hard time calibrating my compass no matter how many time i look at drew video it would not calibrate properly but the trick is to carefully look at the blinking light soon as it blinks stop and do the next step and do the same that where i got confuse i kept on going to where i started.

Dhardjono, Do you think that the vidration too much? I am a little worry about that.

I am no expert in reading these vibration report but looks similar to mine - http://log.xaircraft.com/#2014_01_15_200615.250_115.3.10.24

Sorry for butting in but the best way to determine how well balanced your props and motors are is to mount the camera directly to the frame, not with a gimbal and shoot some aerial. The reason is that not all camera's are the same when it comes to vibration induced jello, not only that, Density Altitude plays a role in this too. Your footage might be perfect in the afternoon but the next morning its very still but colder, the DA lower, the air is denser and the props have a little more grip which can cause vibration.
No doubt that the logs are a useful guide to setting up performance but if your doing this for AP work then the only thing that matters is the footage coming out of the camera and there are a lot of variables that aren't in the logs. If I'm flying at a high DA I'll change to smaller props, not as efficient, requires more throttle and shorter flight times but more often than not it really smooths things out. I live at sea level but often shoot at 8,000 ft MSL which is a very different environment.
You might be surprised at how much of a difference a little change in DA can make.

If your getting acceptable video from your setup I'm not sure its necessary to do what I suggested. Doing that just removes the gimbal from the equation and might give you more accurate results.
Its difficult to determine the quality of footage online, there are some stutters which I'm guessing is caused from the software stabilization, but other than that it looked pretty good.

Thanks i could just Velcro i have an old gopro i may try just what result i get you can download the video on vimeo so no stuttering i was just testing trannis radio see how far i can go and how low and go far before the trannis warning me.

I agree, although I think that was a good video. got a little nervous when you clip a branch, nice job Dhardjono.

You have to align the motors. You got 3 fighting against some motors. Been there, done that. Mine drifted alot before. Know It Works fine.
Yes i love that copter made by Hobby Wing but it had dji NAZA V2 on board now it in the bottom of the Hudson River about almost 3 month ago 11/30/13 from a run away i could not believe it i lost every thing on board and the important footage.
Sorry i read you post wrong, Yes it 650 pro i get about 12 min and 3 min return home when using 4s 6000amh i just got 8000amh zippy 4s battery the worse battery ever i just bought it to try how much longer flight time i got extra 2 mins only so heavier battery does not always give you better run time

I did not have my goggle on and did not have the battery warning plug in that make noise when 3 min to land i new i had about 2 min to land so i was 10 sec wrong i was going to land in the picknic table and it drop i cought it no damage done just cut my hand even the plastic prop that big will cut you up. You have one of these ? View attachment 15759
