Hello, I've noticed that my Vision+ gimbal is acting a little strangely too. On power up, it seems to jerk or dance about 6 times then behaves normally. All the camera controls and gimbal behavior from that point on seem to work as expected. This is how my gimbal behaves:
Power on Vision+ battery. Aircraft performs Power On Self Test. Aircraft is indoors so enters Ready to Fly w/o GPS mode. Gimbal initializes by orienting itself looking straight forward and level. The camera lens then moves into its default 45 degree angle looking towards the ground and yaws slightly towards the left leg. It then slightly jerks about 6 times. Then it slowly yaws back to center position.
I did some testing and this is what I found:
04/26/2014 - Maiden flight, no strange behavior from any Vision+, gimbal, camera, or transmitter system. Flew in RTF with GPS. Was awesome!
04/28/2014 - Rainy day, so I powered on indoors to get a better feel for the iPhone app camera controls, noticed the gimbal doing this jerking movement. At the time the rear status lights were blinking yellow, indicating that I was in RTF mode without GPS. I did some more testing in our 3 season porch and the gimbal behavior went away on its own, like it had recalibrated itself. During this round of testing, I noticed that I had GPS lock with steady blinking green lights. I must have been able to get GPS lock indoors because I was near the windows and got lucky. After power cycling numerous times and testing the gimbal start up sequence and camera controls, I put everything away for the evening satisified.
04/29/2014 - Another rainy day, so decided to go back to familiarizing myself with the camera system and controls. Gimbal jerking on start up is back. Rear lights are blinking yellow and I was unable to get GPS lock (because I was indoors). Never was able to get GPS lock for more than a few moments from the same indoor spot in our 3 season porch.
I'm not sure if correlation is causation here, but thought that I would add my information. By the way, hello to the fellow Minnesotan above me- south metro twin cities here. I have a 5MB video if anyone wants to compare notes.
Seems like a good community here, glad I found it and registered.
