QAV540+ Pixhawk Shaky video
New 540 seems to fly ok but the video is very bad. It shakes, not really a jello…more of a shake. Tried new props, recalibration, tried isolating the feiyu gimbal with soft grommets, then hard, then hard mounting. Makes no difference. I can eke out some decent video by flying really slow and careful. The feiyu gimbal makes perfect video on my tarot 680 pro so i know its not the gimbal.

It has been suggested that i look at the PIDs. The PIDs were set by using Pixhawk Autotune. Below is a video example of the shake and a screenshot of the PIDs.

Anyone see an obvious problem here or a suggestion? How do these compare to other QAV Pixhawk PIDs out there in use? Can anyone help?

auto tune can be great, but not always ideal for video. I had to detune mine. Default stab roll / pitch P is 4.5, auto tune increases it normally…although hasn’t on your pitch. Try reducing your roll value. its the top left one in the screen grab for roll.
