Title: First Video, I've got the vibes!
Post by: richardmills on January 11, 2014, 07:58:33 PM
I have just for the first time strapped a camera to my discovery.

I have quite a bit of jellow, which i expected to be fair as i have pretty much hard mounted the camera to the frame, but what I didn't expect were the noises. At some points in the flight it's looks and sounds good and then at others it sounds quite bad.

Is that normal or is there a vibe source I need to find?

I have attempted to balance my motors when i built the discovery and balanced my props just before this flight.

Motors are torqpower v2, camera is a mobius action cam (which i am really impressed with from these first few flights with it for the money)

This is just a short clip to try to show what I mean.

That sounds normal to me, it never does sound very smooth with on board audio.

A bit of foam will sort the camera out

Thank you. That's what I was hoping.

I've just spun each motor up individually with its prop and they feel pretty good. (I rebalanced one prop).

I've changed the camera tape to a better gyro tape and done a quick test and the video is fine when just hovering and moving around as much as I can do outside my house.

Will give it a go again when the weather is good.
