Hi, I did test shot with my T-rex 600, and got vibrations that instead of nice picture (video) makes it slightly doubled. on Radix 600 i did tracking best i can, I have AP2000 and even at windy environment heli hovers rock solid but i can see high frequency tail vibrations. Changing gain doesn't make big difference
I have front mounted camera (here (http://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=55584)) - can it be affected by the airflow from blades?
Also, I feel like on-camera image stabilization system on that vibrations just makes image worst - can it be true?
thanks

Try moving the rx and downlink tx away from each other as far as possible. Try mounting one down the boom.
Do you have the torque tube upgrade ? If not, ground your boom and check for static.
Disable the IS on the camera. It won't help you.
Chasing vibrations on a heli seems to be more of an art rather than science.
It takes time. There are very few roaming the heli forums that have it down pat.
Best advice I can give you for vibes is to re-check everything on your heli, shafts, bearings, bolts, blades, etc... everything on that machine can induce a vibe that you can't see but the camera will pick up.

I have some tail vibration that is pretty weird on my T600N.
There is a bearing in a rubber mount that acts like a carrier bearing. I'm going to replace that first, but it looks like boom is vibrating more than the Main part.
