I own a large Hex and an original Phantom, never experienced anything like this. Purchased a Phantom 2 with the 3D gimbal. Test flights today without gimbal attached were perfect. When I attached the gimbal and after initial takeoff, craft suddenly rose to around 50 ft without input from me. Landing was sketchy and hard to control as well...seemed like it could not control its altitude. Did not seem to matter if I was in GPS ATTI mode of ATTI mode. IOC settings were off. No wifi interference either; had GoPro attached to gimbal but I never enable wifi. Yaw, forward, backward worked great. Seemed like it would just randomly gain or lose altitude by several feet quickly, but the initial takeoff is what scared me the most. Thought I was about to experience my first flyaway. Do I need to recalibrate the GPS after attaching the gimbal? If so, thats an easy fix, but I wanted to check here first. I'm a little leery about flying this rig again with the gimbal attached until I hear from some of you guys.
