G+_FlyCam Jax Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Bryan Burnett I need help.... My DJI phantom 2 vision (with aftermarket gimbal) has got a very shaky camera. I noticed this phenomenon shortly after the quad had crashed into a building (sorry, no footage of that). I found it upside down and beeping like it had one of the motors disconnected. However, that was not the case. In an effort to try to fix the shaking, I replaced all four stock motors with Emax MT2213-935KV brushless (2xCW, 2xCCW). I Balanced all of my propellers and have done my best to balance the motors using a seismographic app for my iPhone (and instructions from YouTube). I have included short video clips to demonstrate the problem I am having. In two of the videos I have the camera and gimbal hooked up; in two others, I have disconnected the gimbal and camera; and the final video shows the quad sans gimbal/camera. I've noticed the shaking is accompanied by the sound of the motors/propellers at a peculiar pitch. If anyone has any ideas on how I might fix this, I welcome them!

G+_Jason Marsh Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Wow, that looks awful. Is the gimble mounted with isolating bushings or hard-mounted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_FlyCam Jax Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Jason Marsh, thanks for the reply. The gimbal is mounted using the same anti-jello, dampening, rubber mounts that come with the Vision. It seems you are pointing me in the right direction: gimbal. A couple of the screws were loose in the gimbal; after tightening them, stability has increased dramatically. Although not completely fixed, I now think I need to focus on making sure the gimbal is in tip top condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
