Straight out of the box from new I had problems with the video wobbling about (jello or jelly like) as if it was filmed through the worst heat haze possible. I also had a really bad problem with the camera gimbal suddenly pitching down briefly before springing back up. I was so disappointed with the drone I was considering sending it back, but thankfully I set it up on my kitchen table where I noticed the gimbal glitching down at regular intervals. I timed the glitches and realised that they were regular at a steady 6 second interval. This happens to be one tenth of a minute and got me thinking that it was interference coming from timed transmissions from radio controllers (central heating programmer, time clocks etc) and also from the Wi-Fi and 4G internet connections on my phone. I figured that these were interfering with the radio signals sent from the RC to the drone. In the 'Advanced Settings' in the app I adjusted the gimbal gain down to 1% and switched off my Wi-Fi and 4G connections on my phone. Testing on the table afterwards the results looked good with no glitching. The test flight the next day lasted 25 minutes and the camera gimbal never glitched once and there was no jelly wobbling on the images. Fingers crossed the problem is now solved.
A smart watch is also a source of radio transmissions and at close proximity to the RC controller while you're flying, so switch them off or at least put them into Flight/Airplane Mode while you're flying.
UPDATE: 2020
After initially improving, the problem started to gradually come back some months later and by May 220 the problem was really bad and video footage became unusable. Nothing I did in the settings would improve it. I also noticed that now the actual camera was physically vibrating (see • FIMI X8 SE 2019 - Gimb... ). I could do no more so reluctantly contacted FIMI support. After sending the black box files to them they asked me to return the drone to them for warranty repair. This I did and about a month later it was thankfully returned and the problems had been fixed. So I think now that there is a problem with the drone's software which can only be fixed by FIMI. All the tweeking with the settings only appears to be a temporary fix.
