Phantom 2 Vertical Stability

[motionlenz]

When I am flying and filming I am noticing the Phantom moves vertically up or down when I am not moving the throttle stick up or down. If I am flying in a circle around something and filming it will descend slightly instead of maintaining a consistent altitude.

I have used a Futaba radio on a F550 and don't recall this being an issue. I assumed with the self centering stick on the Phantom 2, this would be even easier to maintain.

Are there any settings I can change to fix this or is this just the characteristics of the copter? I know it is small and light, but still powerful.

Thanks!

I don't know a lot about the Phantom or if this even applies to the Phantom but on many Flight Controllers that can maintain altitude, you need to let it get acclimated to the temperature and air pressure before flying it in order for the baro chip to work properly.
