"Hi Rob,
I had similar experience on a 650 quad with pixhawk. (AUW 3kg)
Vib results were not good
I added a ~24g lead underneath the fc, which resulted in good vib results
and the percieved 'jerky-squeeky-noisy' issues were resolved.
I hope it…"

"Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your input.
At this time I was not aware of this option.
I assume you are referring to Copter 3.3.3?
If I understand the option, in practice-
1) Set the PILOT_TKOFF_ALT (MP)
2) Pilot set the required mode ( eg Loiter,…"

"Hi yes,
I was thinking that the feature could be an additional 'mode' option -
Operation for example could be in broader term outline -
1) 'Auto-Launch' (AL) mode can be selected via a Switch on the Pilot's Tx
2) As per normal proc, the Pilot now…"

"I guess that may be a method indeed.
btw, from my understanding, one can only load one Auto Mission profile to pixhawk?
If this the case, each time I do load a proper mission and I want to revert back
to your mentioned method, I will have to…"

"Thank you Jason,
you understand my topic query spot-on.
Having read the the appropriate pages in the manual,
I came to the same conclusion that at this time the feature
cannot be implemented the way I think it could work.
It seems AndreK knows…"

"Hi, thanks for your interesting and valuable reply.
I had a look-read at copter prior to posting here. I am still unsure and could not find the topic page of how to implement such a feature, hence the topic query within this friendly supporting…"

Hi All, Does Copt 3.3.3 support this feature/function/mode (which I believe is possible with DJI Ph) -Pilot set the correct mode/params -The pilot now initiate Auto-take-off / Launch (via his tx cmd)The vehicle launch and auto-take-off to a set…
"Thanks Paul for point to me re the FrSky Lipo unit
I understand that PnP of the SmartPort unit and ease of implementation.
I am going to purchase the FrSky BattM unit, but it takes 3-6 weeks-forever... to land, locally. :(

"Hi Thorsten,
bit off topic - Do you mind sharing the still-pic camera model that you use on your rig?
I assume it is a Canon and you use CHDK scripting etc.
Thx,
Gerhard Laubscher"

"Hi Rich,
The double-mountplate with anti-vibration rubbers were supplied with the kit, when I bought it.
So unfortunately I can't recommend a supplier for the mount-kit alone, at this time.

"Hi Derek,
Thanks for your feedback.
I am sure there may be vibration on the gps-stalk, however, limited, from my observation.
The cable that runs from the GPS is fixed with hotglue on the left black box foot. So vibrations on the GPS does not…"

"Hi RC,
I agree, I am going to re-work those with thinner flexi wires, to get rid of
the heatshrink within the loop.
Further, on investigation, where the ESC's plug-in on the back, those wires
may also have an effect on the dynamics of the FC, as…"
