Well, there's not much I can add since The Three Musketeers (Donnie, Rich and Aeromirage) already covered the issue almost completely. What I would like to know, however, is how actually the bird is behaving in flight. Try to choose calm day, launch and let her hover at eye level. Walk around as close as safety allows and look for visible low frequency vibrations of the frame, motor booms in particular and gimbal. In real flight conditions these vibrations or shakes may come and go as motors rotate at various speeds, but with evident mechanical problem (i.e. loose boom bushing) they'll be very obvious even during static hover. Another troubleshooting method involves your smartphone. Tape the baby securely to one side of Inspire body (electrical tape is best), make sure is not wobbling, start recording and fly. Do the same on another side. Finally the best way to examine your bird during flight is GoPro Session cube mounted on tag plate with sticky foam (supplied with). You'll be surprised how much everything shakes and see how the gimbal actually behaves... https://vimeo.com/181420204 https://vimeo.com/181726543 If everything looks normal, than I don't know ...
Cheers.
Dobmatt,
Thanks a lot! I really enjoyed the videos and think you have some great ideas. I had already done the "hover test" and all looked to be in good shape as far as vibrations and airframe integrity. Maybe it is simply my choice of lens and I should just stick with a more commonly used lens. Wish I had a DJI 12mm to test it with. Anyway, I might post a video of what I find.
Where do you live??? Beautiful landscape. |
