CARBON FIBRE ROTORS ON DJI PHANTOM

Hi David,

Thanks for the reminder of the new vids !... we really enjoy watching them

www.entropy.info . I don't regret signing up for one bit !

I have a Q... What do you reckon about CF blades ? I have been trialling some CF blades on my Phantom Vision for a week now and have stability issues. I have a Sony QX 10 camera mounted as I really need a mid-shot instead of the WS the stock camera produces ...

I am getting vibration issues and severe instability (even after compass re-calibration), this is causing blurring even at high shutter speeds on the Sony QX10...

Would you know of might cause this, I have tried balancing the C/G as best I can...

The total added weight is only around 200 Grams... Could the prop guards be interfering ?

The craft will not hold position and is making sudden re-adjustments in GPS mode... (GPS quality 8-11), It seems OK if returned to stock config.

NEXT DAY

It turned out to be the Carbon Fibre props !

The flight dynamics don't like it... the P2 is flying well again... thanks for your assistance...

Now to isolate the camera from vibration so I can lower the ISO on the camera and go with slower shutter speeds...

I think balancing the props might be a good Idea also...

Thanks for that great info' Martin. Carbon fibre props are not without their issues! Would be grateful for your experience (& anyone else's) about different rotor experiences.
