Dave, have you tried Thermoteknix, they will send you some usefull info.

Thanks Ed, a jump up to 4S has been on the cards for a while now, just been putting it off as I have so many 3S batteries. I think 8" props with higher rpm will help my vibration/jello issues also. do you think 4 8" props would be sufficient for an F450 with housed GP2 and VTx/batt, dont want to...

This reflects exactly what I have been experiencing, I have nearly exhausted all setting possibilities and all that remains to do is to try flashing the turnigy plush ESC's. I am using Naza on F450 and X650 and both behave the same. my gut feeling is that has something to do with the ESC's as...

you could always go for a smaller cheaper frame in Coax Y6 or X8. more lifting power to hand on a smaller frame, I like the XA X650 frame and it is quite cheap for frame alone and can be flat quad or X8.

I find I can get nearly as good an image with the GP2 by shooting video in 1080p with narrow FOV and pulling out snapshots as JPEG's. this way you dont get the annoying wide angle fisheye. (This was my main disappointment in the GP2, that and no narrow or med FOV option in 960/50p). Produces an...

Any idea how to configure it for X8?

cheers for sharing Dave, the polarizing filters look like a must have for GP. I guess most folk know about ragecam but those that dont..... no third party options list would be complete without http://ragecams.com/shop/

I just switched to Torxpower (Tiger) motors which eliminated about 70% of my vibration and took care of the remaining by doubling up on the align anti vibration gel for mounting, now jello free again....for now.

The GPS upgrade for Naza is a doddle to install and setup, but you will need another 2 channels assigned to 3 position switches. 6 channel is ok I think, as long as you have 2 three pos switches, I am only using 6 channels of my Aurora 9x. Remember to factor in magnetic declination/variation...

I have the same problem with wind where I live, this year has been attrocious for wind, not real strong but enough to buffet my craft about and make video a pointless exercise. Its generally accepted that coax configuration is better in wind that flat. ie Y6 over hex or X8 over octo. Personally...

Art in motion Skivvie,,, loved that!

Kloners ear plug method looks about the best I have seen. thinking about it, absorbing high frequency vibration (sound) is what they are designed for. http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?4938-Gopro-and-Jello

Looks pretty good, I also have turned my gains right down on my Naza. I find that with gains sufficient to maintain gimbal attitude my XA gimbal with Naza is very twitchy. I now use low gains to dampen movement rather than counteract all of it.

Certainly no Jello there. nice!

Cheers Kloner, do you think its a tall order to eliminate vibration enough for the GP2 to handle and best to work on isolation? I think better quality motors might help me out, I've only used rather cheap ones and XA motors thus far. Not really sure sure why I'm worried about it, should just be...

Out of interest I am wondering how people are getting on with GP/GP2 with regard to vibration. Are all CMOS cameras as sensitive to vibes or is the Gopro just a particular SOB when it comes to rolling shutter effect. I have perfectly balanced APC props, and am using align vibration absorbing gel...

Thats funny.. I just put my F330 to use tonite, we were having a BBQ and getting harrassed by seagulls, launched the MR and they never came back!

Looks like a great camera. HDMI output.. this seems to be the way canon are going with their latest models, using HDMI over AV output, thats unfortunate for us, I considered a G1X until I discovered it had no AV out. I dont particularly want to have to use a converter. For remote triggering or...

Very impressive!
