Hi there I'm new to drone flying I recently bought a phantom 3 pro form E**y the drone looks as if it has had a crash with a few scrapes on it but it flies okay I am using a kindle fire HD tablet that works fine but when you record video the picture is crystal clear but the video lags a second every 10 or so seconds so when you watch it back it looks like your pausing the video for a second then the video catches up till it does it again also when you first turn on every thing the gimbal sets its self on a 45% angle so you have to calibrate it and it levels up but you have to do this every time I'm going to fly it the drone flies great so I'm hopping someone can give me a bit of advice or do I have to get a new gimbal?
video & gimbal problem

Not certain about the gimbal issue, but as far as the video goes, are you playing this back from your device? Or are you viewing from the SD card?
It was the card that came with the drone it is a Adata 32GB I don't know how to find out the write speed of the card?
The card that came with it may or may not be fast enough. That would cause the video to stall, be choppy, or cause other issues. Being that you have a gimbal issue anyway it seems, a different card may or may not fix the video issue. But it is something you could try, just to eliminate a variable before proceeding with a replacement gimbal.
Okay thanks for your help I've got a 8GB card in a protensic drone I'll try that to see if there is any difference I was just wondering if my Kindle hd might not be powerful enough to keep up with writing the video to the card.
The Kindle doesnt have anything to do with writing to the card. If you see the choppyness and stutter in real time when you are flying, then I would suggest the tablet.
Thanks for your help it was great getting help from people who know what they are taking about. I just hope someone can get back to me about the Gimbal problem.
