I tried a simple mission today with APM 2.0 without success. Not sure why or what I did wrong. Iris did not want to take off clearly. I tried twice. The two back propellers were spinning much faster than the front ones which resulted in tip and flip.

How can I monitor the battery level in my Iris? I am using the standard transmitter. Also is there a manual for this transmitter somewhere? Or is it that simple I should be able to work it out by pushing buttons?

Circle radius 0 (panorama) rate at 72, IRIS stops circling every 2-3 turns and does a 1/4 circle opposite direction as if it's trying to correct something.
I don't get this at slower rates like 18, 36, 54.

I'm looking for feedback from other IRIS user who have installed the Tarot gimbal avaialable as an option when ordereing your IRIS. Some of the things I have noticed are:

All I can say about this Tarot gimbal on the IRIS is that it is amazingly steady. I had the IRIS in some 5-8MPH gusts and had to work it to keep it above the treeline where the wind caught it, and the video turned out really nice and steady. I
