I posted this initially in fb but will continue to report here. I had a rough start on my m690 but will not go through all the problems. Suffice to say that I was not one of the lucky ones.
Had a flight today with my M690/GH3 and GH4/12-35. I changed the props to T motor 15x5 timber self tightening to potentially reduce the vibrations caused by the folding props. The new ones are well made and m690 flies smoothly, motors not too hot and hovered well in wind. I think I will keep these props for now.
I am now trying to tune my Gimbal PIDs. I am using the voltage booster and use a three colour combination dampener on each corner (red,black,grey) . My thought was to try to dampen vibrations at a wider range of frequencies using the three different softness (pls correct me if I am missing something). The recommended stock PIDs take my gimbal and the camera into an instant shake. So even on the ground, I could not use the recommended setting. I lowered all gains to about 50 and for this round ended on these numbers:
Roll 50/90/100
Pan 50/80/80
Tilt 40/70/70
The result is much better but still not good enough.There is a little bit of jello which generally kicks in on moves. It feels like a pan vibe so I will now focus on pan/roll. I am intending to lower the gains on FC a little bit too.
While not perfect, this has been a significant improvement on my first flights. Fingers crossed.
