Hi there,
I recently purchased my Phantom and had a few questions regarding flight and fixes to see if things I experience are normal and what I can do/check to correct them. I have the Phantom flying with a GoPro Hero 3 Black.
1. Take Off - I have seen on youtube footage that the launch seems very quick to ascend. When I launch my Phantom there seems to be a delay. I bring the controller to full and the props seem to be spinning at full capacity, but there is about a 3-5 second delay before it lifts off the ground. Is this normal, if not, is there something I can do to fix it.
2. Again with take off, once it does begin to lift off the ground, it seems to lean and fly forward a little bit even though I am not touching any other directional control other than the ascend direction. I have ensured that I am launching from level ground.
3. Jello Effect on recorded footage from GoPro - I have an anti-vibration/anti-jello carbon fiber mount that I thought would eliminate the shakiness. It did not. Granted, today was a bit windy, but this footage was very shaky, even while just hovering in one place.
I guess that covers my beginners questions for now based on my first flight. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick
