Great update for all S1000 and S900 pilots who are fighting with jello on lightweight cameras like BMPC or GH3/GH4.
There is now a replacing part for the lower carbon fiber plate which is located underneath the bottom centerplate.
Here’s a technical drawing of it.
Here’s a pic of the original short DJI plate
The original DJI plate only supports the Arms M3, M4, M7 and M8. So thats only 4 of 8 arms. This creates a lot of vibration and rotation on to the less supported arms, which translates directly to the Gimbal.
This replacement plate is 2mm thick (for added stiffness) while the original one uses a.5mm thickness. The Aerodron version also got a matte finish which helps to reduce reflections toward the camera.
Due of the slightly added thicknes this version needs a bit longer screws. A nice set of screws plus some very cool anodized washers are included in the package.
You can get the S1000 plate directly from Aerdoron in their Webshop https://shop.aerodron.ch/en/aerodjis1000avp2cm.html
Update: 2.12.14
The S900 plate is now also available from Aerodron http://shop.aerodron.ch/en/aerodjis900avp2cm.html
There is a nice clip showing where the problem is comming from.

Your blog is very optimistic to claim a solution for this issue with a product that is not even available yet. The picture in the product AD of an existing DJI plate is NOT from an S900. The lower plate on an S900 DOES support all 6 arms, and it has PCB LANs that distribute signals to the speed controllers. That product might help 1000s but not likely to help S900s
I’m not talking about the pcb board. For the S900 I’m talking about a additional lower support plate that is added to the pcp board!
Ths s1000 already got a second plate belloow the pcb board but this is to weak and onyl covers 4 arms. The added frame stiffnes also helps the s900 very much.
As mentioned in the thread. The pics show the S1000 plate. Which had been tested with great results. The S900 plate is currently getting cnc machined and will be available next week. But it will solve the same problem on a s900.
This is great, my S900 has felx and shakes a lot…
I will keep checking the website and order the S900 plate asap.
Thanks!
Thanks a lot for this info.
I flew this morning with my S1000, Z15-GH4, 16000 Lipo and notice jello effect. The last time I flew was a couple of days ago and there were no jello. After a conversation with a friend who builds drones too, he told me that these could be the cold weather that has a great influence on the vibration dampener. this morning temperature was about 6-7 degree celcius. Last time I flew it was around 12 degree.
Could you comment on this? Do you always get jello with your setup?
Thanks,
Thai
Check all motor screws for thightness. (top and bottom).
Check there is no freeplay in the motor damper setup and dampers are not worn out. Otherwise replace dampers and remove freepla with washers.
Check the screws that hold the folding arms to the body too. Frame flex/vibration can make those screws come loose too.
Great work! The default body of S900 is too soft. Will you let us know when the S900 plate is ready to be ordered?
The s900 plate is available now from Aerodron.

Would be cool to let em know you found it here on riot.ch 😉
Hoi Mathias
Habe leider beim S900 mit der GH4 Kamera genau die gleichen Probleme. Was ersetzt Du genau. Die unterste Platte des Frames, richtig?
Und hast Du schon Erfahrung gemacht? Ist der Wobbel wirklich weg?
Gruss
Martin
Hallo Martin.
Bei meinem s1000 hat geholfen. Hab aber keinen s900.
Auf jeden Fall zusätzlich auch die Motordämpfer auf Spiel kontrollieren.
Hi admin, do you have any video before and after modification to compare quality of recorder video
Hello Wojt
Nope, I do not. I don’t sell them. I just use it 🙂 But I’m happy with it and bought a second set for my other s1000 as well.
