    quadcopter shakes violently while flying

    I had a very similar issue, caused by too much dampening on the flight controller. I had mounted the FC to the frame using insulating material which was too soft, so vibrations were induced into the Naze32. I removed the dampening material and used some double sided foam for mountaing instead...

    Poll: Are you a commercial/professional, prosumer or consumer level user of Drones/UAV's?

    For me its about learning, building, developing, testing, fixing, and a bit of aerial videography - all from an amateur perspective.

    F450 with Pixhawk clone

    The hexa build flies beautifully! Did a little pid tuning manually and feels really locked in. Flight times on 2 x 5800mah LiPos was about 12mins. This was without gimbal fitted or VTx powered up. I imagine once those are fitted/powered, this will reduce flight time due to extra weight and...

    That's a concern for me too! This is what I have from last calibration : Are those values too high?

    F450 with Pixhawk clone

    My quad is no more! It's now a hexa! Needed more lift for the gimbal and retracts etc, and cheapest option was to add 2 motors! Extended the f550 arms to accommodate 1147 props. Would have liked 12" but motors can't handle the load.

    F450 with Pixhawk clone

    Pixhawk platform is open source (hardware and software), hence the clones, which in many cases (not all) are equally as good as the 3dr original version - for under half the price! I built an F450 also just over the last month (my first multirotor build) using Pixhawk clone also. I have...
