hmm, you might have solved my problem. I never saw the gimbal support foam but I will look for it. I may have figured it was part of the gimbal attachment. My drone was purchased brand new from DJI. And you aren't referring to the gimbal lock? The plastic piece that attaches to the gimbal and...

Yes still shakes even with the ND filter off

Model: Unknown, build on: 26. December 2020 This would imply that it was built fairly recently.

I'm not exactly certain of the production date but I purchased in early February. Even with auto settings on the university DJI phantom 4 pro V2, I was not able to replicate the shaking footage as seen on my own Phantom. Also, because the correct shutter speed and framerate didn't reduce the...

I've researched a lot on this topic. It doesn't shake when on the table. I'm just thinking maybe this might be a bad batch of DJI Phantoms.

Yes, have done gimble calibration too. My previous drone had a problem where the gimbal got stuck looking like 30 degrees to the right. Also, this current Phantom 4 Pro v2 has an issue where it gives a battery warning problem every time I go to fly. So I have to push the battery in more to make...

I already calibrated IMU and Compass on both drones. It didn't seem to make any difference. I've been told that DJI drones are not fully balanced, but its not supposed to be this bad.

Phantom Pilot Forums: Well, I am going to be on my third DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2. Two of these drones had the same problem with the footage shaking left and right. It would appear this could be imbalanced propellers/motors or a gimbal vibration issue. I have tried both sets of propellers as well...

It would just be a fun place to fly and allows me to avoid flying over people since its a big enough lake.

Since it isn't Part 107, it would just be for recreational use. It would just be fun to get some footage flying over the lake; a really simple flight. I do not have to fly there and obviously probably not worth the risk, which is why I would be waiting until after bald eagle breeding season. I...

I technically don't need permission, as they don't own the airspace above their lake. But it would be smart to just give them a notice of my flight path and intentions. Maybe they could even advise me of any bird nests in the area so I could stay away from them.

Hello, I am planning to fly my Phantom 4 drone over Lake Pleasant in Arizona. I have attached an image showing this lake on the sectional chart. This lake is a regional lake and is a bald eagle breeding area. As far as laws go regarding this area, the Maricopa County has a rule that prohibits...

Hello all, I'm new to these forums and just joined today. I mainly plan to hang out in the rules sub-thread as that area interests me the most. More information about me is in my signature.
