Classic , nice landings try changing the frame rate on the camera might help reduce the pulse.

less frames per second to reduce the pulse?

Yeah worth a shot might work , I assume you have the camera set up on 60fps looking at that a slower frame might not pick up that bump...just a guess.

Great footage Jezza.

Be very careful not to fly it on a windy day at the local park and have the remote fail and watch it fly off into the distance, over houses, never to be found again.

Isolate the pan and tilt unit from the airframe will help reduce the shakes, it's not Hi Freq vibes so you have little jello wobble, you lucky there. Low freq is easier to fix. Without seeing the Chopper and the setup hard to advise a fix, but low freqs are usually flex or airflow downdraft, unless the chopper blades are really badly unbalanced. Nice quality video, what was the camera, a canon point and shoot with CCD sensor??

Rambo what program do you use to take out the shake in the video ?

Hehehehe...echoes of a nearly-ruined christmas

found my eight-year-old's tiny Ben 10 helicopter two streets away, neatly parked between two cars outside a popular local restaurant

Wow, surprised that was a GoPro, it looked somehow different. I just watched that video again and it IS full of jello, so a software stabilizer in post will only only blur the images when it reassembles them and only enhance the wobble. It really needs dampening at the source. If he shoots in 720p50fps it will help reduce it by 50% due to the way the GoPro resizes the different modes.

Otherwise if he wants to try a post stabilizer there is Deshaker, Mercalli 2, After Effects has one in "Tools", so does imovie and Sony Vegas Pro V10 has one built-in as well. I use Mercalli Pro2, but only to rescue footage that would be otherwise unusable or to just take the edge off shaky footage that has no apparent jello.

Prevention is better than cure.
