30 degree slat all of a sudden, then wild snatching of the gimbal.

Make sure all your cables to the camera and gimbal are all nice and loose, Ant taughtness in the cables can cause the jumping and stuttering, as for the 30 deg offset try doing a 6 point gimbal calibration if you are using an alexmos based board, it helps with roll drift due to yawing.

I know this is a bit of an old thread but when I read it I was in fits of laughter as I heard this:

Oh yeah sorry, It is the Martinez board from RCTimer but it's not running Martinez software anymore;)

If you want it I can send you the files needed to reflash to the 'Better' firmware.

I havnt found anywhere that specifically stocks them although every non AlexMos Gimbal board out there will be Martinez...

There is one on Ebay at the moment and I have two spare non used brushless gimbal motors here you can have aswell.

Yes thats is the exact one I have, V1.

I have had two, One on the F550 and one on the Discovery. They are all pain to tune, even the genuine Alexmos, but with the Alexmos firmware on these boards its half as difficult.
