Shaky camera on a certain filming technique

nick1985 · Sep 4, 2018

Hi all, trying to see if this is isolated to just me or if it affects everyone else.

When I fly backwards and up at the same time, the video is shaky as hell. I have no issues with other cinematic angles so far that I can tell, just this one. See video for example:

Thanks in advance for any input

I noticed it as well a few times but Denver was windy the times I was flying so will have to see if it keeps doing it. I was thinking maybe the pitch was too great given the wind and gimbals capabilities to fight the wind?

It wasn't windy at all when I flew

Reaching denver next month. Is it a good nice city to fly in the daylight ?

I will do more testing on mine. Keep in mind that in Downtown it may not be windy where you stand but may have wind when you fly as, on the ground, you get protection from the building around you.

not that easy in terms of finding places to fly. Not allowed in Denver Parks. So you are onto finding empty parking lots that do not have too many people. And of course, stay 5 miles out of airports (which we have North, South, East, Northeast). Enjoy your time here!

Tested again today, this time in my neighborhood. Same result. Shaky camera when flying backwards and up at the same time. Flying forwards and down seems to be fine.

Can anyone else confirm theirs does or doesn't do this so I can decide if I need to send mine back to DJI? Thanks
