It has been very disappointing to say the least. I was able to tame all that with the regular Tachyon @ 480, but something about the HD mode will not be tamed by foam. If one sticks it on their head it does fine, but you end up with greatly reduced visibility shooting through the wind screen. The fella that shot the recent video with the camera mounted on the gear leg impressed me with the stability of the video, so I thought that I would try it and see what would happen with this Tachyon. The attachments show what I came up with. I made a preliminary flight test today and found that at max throttle of 6000 RPM's there were no harmonics, but at 5400 where I normally cruise, I had some, not as bad as before, but more than I want. Tomorrow I will, weather permitting, do some more testing and see what RPM's give me the best video. It does look promising for a change. The nice part of where it is located, is that I can reach out the back of the door and turn it on and off as I need and cut down on battery usage, and editing.
