"Believe me this is not "obvious" stuff."

"The question should be:  Is there a way "I" can measure noise during the time the quad is flying.  No, not really for hobbyist.  The largest source of this type of noise is from your power distribution…"

"There are people with different opinions, but copper will do very little to block magnetic or electrical noise.  Also grounding does nothing, really because it is not a ground just the negitive side of power.  Shielding has to be 360…"

"Hi Chris/ Matt, How do I set PID's for a camera mount using Mission Planner? Any screenshots or explanation would be really helpful. Also, I do not see PID's settings in APM_Mount.cpp. How do they do those in code? Thanks!"

"Thanks, this is understandable.  So does "Preliminary" mean it is only partly implimented at this time?"

"So what is meant by "sensor-fusion"?"

"It is called Position Hold in the mode selection."

"I am grateful for the work by you and the group."

"Yes you have to get it out of there and up and out of the way from power cables and other electronics."

"I have both types of pinouts with no noticeable difference. The current thread about GPS lock on the APM2, which you maybe reading, has highlighted the sources of noise that can effect a GPS..."

"It is only my opinion, but it looks too close to everything that low.  When I had mine that low both the mag and gps worked poorly.  Try puting it on the next level just to experiment.  If it works well think of other ways to protect…"

"Talking somewhat blind here with little info on your quad... but I improved my mag and GPS by putting my APM2 on 3/4" standoffs, and bam it worked very well.  This got it away from my uBEC and other noise making sources."

"Could not find any reference to this but has the boot issue with the APM1 been resolved in the APM2.  That is, do I have to wait for complete boot up before applying ESC power anymore? Anyway, 2.6 has been great for me in every way.  The…"

"Smoothness can be affected by your gimbal mounting method or if there is looseness or slop in the gimbal's mechanics. But again Gain is not responsiveness, it is how much the"

"From your statement, do you know that Gimbal Gain is not for faster response, it is for scaling of travel?  "3" is high."

"Many people use the throttle curve adjustment on their Tx, so that in the mid range they are able to flatten out the "ramp" to make it less touchy.  If you have not calibrated your ESC's that may help also."
