Why would we be missing video frames in mission planner?
In other words, while running mission planner with the video system, we get a very choppy live video. It appears we are getting only a few frames a second. ~ makes for a very choppy picture

yesterday I had my first flight with my Arducopter-powered Quadcopter. It worked pretty much ok, although I had a slight "wobbling" effect during flight.
You can see this effect in the video:
What would you say - is this simply a tuning problem
