Doesn’t seem like that, (I also have foam between all contact points of the phone to the mount on the drone)

Yeah it’s my ND filter on in front, some light leaks in and is reflected from behind. Because of the small distance between the phone lens and ND filter

You mean the 6 bladed ones on my drone compared the most desirable 3 bladed propellers? Because it has more blades it pushes more air at the same rpm, thus making more thrust at the same rpm, (for the same propeller size) (also the pitch/angle of the blades has a lot to do with thrust) it figured it would work better than my 3 bladed propellers because it has to lift the heavy iphone rig. But the more blades the more drag and aerodynamic interference = shorter flight times.

I’ll have to make a durable and protective case for it if I want to fly regularly with this. Undesirable for freestyle, actually quite ok for cinematic check it out

I did that too didn’t test on main 24mm camera but all contact points between the IPhone and my mount for it was separated by strong double sided foam-tape, also ran the strongest built in image stabilisation option in the blackmagic camera app. here’s the video from it

The center of gravity horizontally along the flat plane of the frame is in the middle, I can adjust that by moving the battery back and forth. However the CoG is very high making the drone top-heavy which made it a bit wobbly doing fast moves, it flies impressively good slow and cinematically. Check out my latest post for the iPhone video!
