Welcome to the forum herbiehusker2608

You might get better results from the help or photo/video section.
The FC40 threads don't get as much attention.
You could PM (private message) a Moderator to move your post for you.


A picture of your setup would help too.

I added a 200 gram gimbal and a GoPro to my bird and haven't made any changes to the settings.
It does lean and move forward a bit at liftoff.

Good luck

Here is my setup

Anytime you mount a camera directly to the Phantom you will see the jello UNLESS you are flying in perfectly smooth air with perfectly balanced props.

The weight you've added has moved the center of gravity forward.
We don't have much choice due to the location of the mounting holes.

How much does your camera and mount weigh?
Many of us have purchased scales so we know what we're doing to these sensitive little birds.
I bought this one and really like it:

Are you near sea level or at 6,000 feet like me?

You must be somewhere between 700 and 1,500 feet. That is a good altitude for your bird to perform well.

It does really well!
