"I'm wondering what exactly "flies much better with APM" means. Is it more stable? Is it sportier?
The reason I'm asking is that I have a 3DR Arducopter with the APM1 (purchased 11/2011) and it flies horribly. I have played with…"
Mark Massel replied to Pat's discussion GoPro "jello""I've used GoPro Hero 2 at 30 f/s on my hex-copter. Can see here. Jello appears at start up, ie low frequencies but the goes away. I think make sure the motors and props are well balanced, you can also try putting some rubber mounts on whatever…"
