Apparently this was briefly visible on DJI website earlier today: Looks like Phantom 3 alright.

Ok here are some things I have tried. 1. Stock white dampers - horrible vibrations and jello 2. H3-2D black dampers - video no longer shakes but there are still lots of jello 3. Grey dampers - best so far, almost no jello when hovering 4. 50 degrees black dampers - worse than #3 but better...

I recently upgraded from H3-2D to H3-3D and now I am getting jellos in my videos that did not exist with H3-2D. I had 4 flights with my H3-3D, all at the same location I had used the H3-2D before. Similar amount of sunlight and wind. ALL my H3-3D videos have varying amount of jello :evil...

Wait I'm confused. So even descending naturally, props could come off? I never really 'tightened' my propellers because I thought they self tighten during flight?

Hmm, so maybe I'm overly worried about this. 6 m/s?! Sounds about right for a cinder block in free fall :o .

Having crashed my RC helis before twice due to VRS, I try to avoid coming straight down whenever possible. However, sometimes it just has to be done for one reason or the other. So I was wondering, up to what kind of speed is it generally ok to descend straight down? I try to not descend any...

Hughie, you were spot on. Today I charged up the same battery and hovered around while paying close attention to the battery gauge on my iosd. Sure enough, once past 32% or so, the battery level started dropping alarmingly quick (and I was just hovering around!!). In fact, I immediately...

Good point. It was definitely shortly before the descent started. I just checked the battery I had used for this flight (funny I never bothered to check this until now) and it's at 17%. ...which means it went from 30% to 17% in less than a minute. I think I'm going to stop relying on my 'fuel...

Earlier today I was descending straight down to land at the end of the flight (about 18 minutes in, Zenmuse H3-2D with Fatshark FPV). I usually try to avoid coming straight down to avoid VRS but today I was flying over a neighborhood (my dad had asked me if I could take a few pictures of his...
