Hi Guys,
I would really appreciate a little guidance from the resident helpers here as to what may be causing this camera shake. If anyone can offer some assistance I would be truly grateful.
I attach a video to show the example. https://we.tl/t-HQQ4dK0MTI (35mb)
Please bear in mind this flight was in a mountainous erea so initially the footage looks tilted. I do end up flying higher, with the camera pointing forward where you can see the natural geometrey better.
I also attach the flight log for further information. Flight log: https://www.phantomhelp.com/LogViewer/R4GPOXOBMG9FNN828CXT/
When this video was shot I actually had four pins in the cradle, but have since removed two of these. So currently I have four white dampers in, but only two pins. I haven't carried out a test flight with this arrangement as yet, as to me it looks like a camera/gimbal problem. I'm hoping this will solve the 'jellying' effect apparent in this video.
Background:
A few months back I unfortunately lost a prop and the aircraft took a 4 meter tumble to the ground, falling onto relatively soft mud/grass. The casing had cracked (not extensively) and the flat gimble cable was pulled out. This resulted in me replacing all cables (as the drone was open and the cables came as a kit) and also the shell. It was clear the gimbal had taken a hit.
I must advise the gimbal arm is leaning slightly, the arm itself is straight but it's bent from the clamp section, only by a couple of degress. This is currently being corrected through the software as its only slightly out. Could this be a cause perhaps?
Worth noting:
The prop motors are all okay, no signs of burning or discolouration.
As you can see in the attached video the shake only seems to appear when the camera is pointing forward and not when angled down.
IMU and gimble were calibrated before the video was shot.
The yaw arm fixing/joint is sitting, tightly screwed, inbetween the connecting bracket, not too low, not too high.
If you require any further information I am more than happen to provide this.
As this is a Phantom Pro 3 it's unfortunately out of warranty so i wont be sending it in for repair. Having said I'm quite handy when it comes to mechanics and I'm fairly confident in my ability to carry out repairs. I'm willing to try anything to get the drone fully operational again.
Once again, I appreciate any guidance and support you can offer.
Drone newbie :-)
