Here's a little video I put together from a couple flights at Wintergreen, VA. I'm still fine tuning the gimbal for forward-pitch flight, so this is mostly composed of pans, but I'm fairly happy with the results.

Nice. I have a GLB 2-axis gimbal. The video is a little jerky, as in, some side to side quick movements. I wonder if a 3-axis gimbal will fix this.

It'll certainly iron them out, but a finely tuned rig is still important. If it yaws outside of a 5 to 10 degree window during forward flight you'll still see it. That's my current battle. I'm fine tuning my Yaw PIDs to see if I can eliminate that.

Mine does yaw a bit sometimes, but it is a very slow gradual yaw. I don't think the gimbal should be jerking around because of that.
