No propeller guards, slightly vibrating video?

For the first time, I flew yesterday without propeller guards.

Gotta say, I was surprised at the increased battery flight time!

But the video seemed to have very slight vibration, whereas with the guards it was always rock solid.

Would the guards have been aiding in producing steadier video?

I've never balanced the props before, so that's my next step.

I have a Du-Bro 499 prop balancer that I've never tried yet.

Thoughts?

Could be the props, however at hover mine does vibrate slightly but doesn't affect the video at all.

Check the rubber mounts aren't perished if so replace them.

Vibration, could you post a video, could have been jello effect, also does it happen when hovering or when moving or turning when moving

I hope you didn't use the same screws when you took those prop guards off.

Thanks,

No... the guards are snap-offs. I leave the base plates on to spread the distribution of the screws.

Just got back home, so I'll post a video probably tomorrow...
