Sorry I just saw your post. No it's still the same, even after replacing the esc for good measure. I think there is a serious algorithm issue that needs a firmware update. We will see, if u have any luck please share with me as I will you

I'm still having the same issues, I'm just flying more conservatively as to not get the wobble. Maybe a firmware update soon will help.

No change no matter what I do.  I just ease up on the throttle and that seems to help.

We had this problem with a number of matrices. turns out the arms can twist off their 3 degrees or center positions, yes, they can twist despite the locking mechanism. its easy to fix, place a spirit level (a builders level, or use an app on your smartphone) on top of each propellor and if they are more than 3 degrees out, get a hex key, loosen the bolts holding the arm into the body, twist it back until its within a few degrees and try again. Its worth doing this service every few flights because even a tiny sideways landing can knock it out of shape.

And yes the problem is often only surfaces with weight and full throttle.

Jasper is wrong (I can say this because I know him!).

I have the answer - since I've experienced this same problem.

The new firmware released on 3-4-16 resolved this problem 100%.  Although I'm not crazy about the new PC app used to update the firmware, the upgrade did solve the wobble.

I personally found that switching to the 0 degree arm locks made all the difference in the world. It is super buttery smooth now. This was before the firmware update which did help a bunch.

I have the same issue? I believe it's the blades under 75% THRO, any solutions?

blades will definitely cause wobble, cheaper blades come with built-in wobble
