Drone oscillates at higher speed

[prarthana_sigedar]

Hello Everyone,

I have a question regarding the oscillations in my drone. So, my drone has to follow a vehicle which goes at around 5-10 miles per hour. It works perfectly fine. However, if my vehicle goes more than 10 miles or at higher speed, then my drone does follow the vehicle but it starts to oscillate so much and sometimes drifts too much. Any suggestion on what can be done to improve this?

Thank you,

Regards,

How to methodically tune (almost) any multicopter using ArduCopter 4.4.x

[Cinewhoop Diatone Taycan MX-C] For illustrative purposes, we will use the small 3’’ multicopter depicted above, but the tuning sequence we developed at IAV GmbH will work on almost any other multicopter. This method uses the latest available ArduPilot WebTools, some of the new features of ArduCopter 4.3 and best practices from the Ardupilot Community. We will detail the firmware parameters to change, the sequence of how to change them, help you to find the value for each parameter, explain …

Keep vibrations low and do a good notch tuning like explained in the Blog post
