I got everything setup and vibrations looks fine.I then did a auto-tune on the Roll axis and would like to know if it is normal for a small quad or should I be concerned with the low values.Stabilize Roll = 4,873756Roll P = 0,03859347Roll I = 0,03859347Roll D = 0,001254361Imax = 0,444Filt = 20,000Firmware Ver. 3.4.6I did try to auto-tune the Pitch axes as well.
