Yay more videos coming soon! :) I'm working on my first quad (Flitetest H-Quad), it looks similar to yours. Can't wait to get it in the air.

you will need to isolate the vibrations from the central body of the quad in order to get rid of the jello in your video. Wooden arms will absorb a lot of the vibration but even so you will need to look at some sort of squishy pad between the arms and the body connections. Failing that you can isolate the camera from the vibrations but since it is also helpful to your flight computer (the KK2) gyros it may just be easier to do it at the arms rather than those two sections of the body.

The whole frame is made of wood except for the 3D printed parts holding the wood together. The wire shock absorber needs to be much longer to be effective and I realized that after I finished building it. I'm not going to spend the time fixing it because the quad will most likely be hung on a wall for all of eternity.
