Thanks for making the great test videos. The default setting for the yaw on the ZMP seems a bit sensitive. Is it adjusted in the joystick settings under "maximum heading speed"? Can you recommend setting % for the yaw and gimbal pitch speed and smoothness?
Yeap, those settings only affects the normal flight mode (not film nor sports/expert modes) I think think that using 50% (instead of the default 100%) for heading speed (yaw) and 3% (instead of 5% that is the default) for gimbal pitch (tilt) speed is a good compromise to have better smoothness with camera during flight. If you want to do circles around a subject keeping camera always pointing in it should give you a better control. But if you want to do a very tiny and fast circle that might require faster that 50% of yaw speed, but that will also be much harder to control and keep camera painting to right spot, so you might as well switch to sport mode, or change the parameters just for that.
I think what you want to change is heading speed in joystick settings, I use 50% and when flying in normal mode (not film or expert/sport) it gives you a slower pan speed.
You have so much going on. Facinating about he rubber sticky counterweight. I don't know if it helped or not. I just flew with 1.4.8 on the ZMP and YAW jitter was still there a little. Your Horizon seems more stable but I did see some spots of YAW jitter. It definitely gets me thinking that the native gimbal on their 1/1.3 camera can handle ND filters. What are your conclusions?
Well.. :) I think that in terms of Jello it's better, or at least in this video I don't see jello anymore, that's a great achievement because after improved image processing (compared to initial firmwares) the jello was the other Achilles heel for this drone, but since I also added the rubber counterweight, I'm not sure if that also helped... (in theory adding weight to camera should add inertia and get smoother movements / less vibration :) I still need to do some tests with direct sunlight because I don't suppose HDR has had any improvement - that would be awesome, but I still have hope there will be some firmware update that will bring us a much better HDR mode for this drone. About ND filters, camera gimbal sure can hold one, if you try to manually force gimbal out of it's position (with drone turned on before taking off) you'll see it does seem to have a good amount of force before giving up. Actually I have tried a CPL filter before but it was a low cost filter that I didn't like much the effect (and a CPL filter in order to get the best image might require adjusting angle according to drone's orientation but that's impossible to do during flight) the only bad thing is sticking a filter on glass might also be harsh to remove it later or clean the glass. I think that an ideal filter for this camera should clip from the top to the camera housing and have a balanced weight on the back and front of camera (instead of just sticking in front of camera glass), that should not interfere with balance or require constant motor force to compensate. Don't know if there are any like this for this drone.. About frame rates and jitter I'm not sure if there are problems because my computer some times can't play 4k video smoothly, but I think it's mostly it's ok.
Drone doesn't capture audio, but the trick is when you are flying also capture the phone's screen (and audio) at the same time (I use AZ Screen Recorder for Android) and it also captures audio, in the end you only have to mix and synchronise both recordings (the video from drone with video/audio from phone) I use a video editor and usually place the phone's screen in a small corner as you can see here.
Good bit of flying there buddy really cool video Don 🤠🇬🇧👍👍👍
Thanks. I'm still a bit afraid to fly too low since I had 2 accidents with trees, but flying lower gives a more appealing movement in most cases.
Watching again more carefully and unfortunately there is still some visible jello from time to time.. for instance at 21:00 :(
Muito bom mesmo, parabéns...

@@MiguelSilvaX Thanks for your suggestions. I will give them a try and start from there. Much appreciated! Cheers!
Hi, can I have the gimbal pan settings? Mine is too jerky for gradual reveal shots...

@@MiguelSilvaX : you did get the horizon fixed. :)
how to make the video recorded in the hubsan the audio is heard?

tienes que resetear el gimbal
