Naze32 for filming

Hi, i just finished my first quadcopter build with a 10dof naze32. I know the naze32 is made for acrobatic flying not filming, but is it possible that if i let go of the sticks the quadcopter will stay pretty much in place? I am asking this, because i planned to do some filming with my quad, but the first time i tried it, with Horizon mode, mag, baro, gps hold i was struggling to hold the quad at a constant height, it was always drifting some direction and i even had major yaw drift. Considering i have a magnetometer, barometer, accelerometer, gyro and a gps it must be possible to hold the quad more or less steady (at least i hope so). I tried trimming the horizon mode, but with no success. Despite searching the internet for couple of hours i couldn't find anything about auto hovering with Baseflight and i can't use cleanflight because in cleanflight baro, mag and gps are disabled for naze32.
 
Yes, i have a Ublox 7 gps module, the naze came in a case with the foam on the baro, i don't need it to stay still like the phantom drones or something, i'd be pretty happy if i could make it hover at the same height and not yaw drift. But if the naze cannon't do that i'd like to know which flightcontroller could. I guess i have to learn flying in acro mode then :/
 
Your never going to get it perfect all the time. If it's high up filming you will hardly notice any drift if any. Me personally I wouldn't buy a naze32 if it was the last fcb on earth. Well unless it was the price of a coke. Just buy the cheapest F3 board. The naze32 was very stable in angle or horizon heck acro aswell. But then again I crash now & again, err hmm. So maybe you may get longer out of them than I did. And I'd say angle mode would be more stable than a noobs acro. Just lower the angle settings so it's a bit sloppy but smooth. There is always the odd sneaky breeze, especially when trying to fly fpv. Excuse me. I'm no expert but stick with it till it breaks & wave goodbye like you would a big turd.
 
I never got my Naze 32 Full Rev6 to ever work like I wanted to for my videos. I switched to a NAZA-M Lite, then to a NAZA-M V2. I'm very happy with my quad turned hex now!
 
Thank you for your replies. I think i am gonna try to get the naze32 as stable as i can, probably try out inav, because:
To have GPS functionality like position hold, RTH, you would have to switch to iNav.

I am not gonna argue, because i am a newbie to drone building, but i am pretty sure, i have gps hold enabled in baseflight.
I will learn to fly with naze and if i feel like it's too hard for me to keep it stable or if i have extra money i will look into buyng the apm.
 
I have been using the seriously pro F3 now for about 5 months after using the naze32. I got to say the F3 over the f1 is more robust. I have not broke any of the 3 I got. As with the naze32 I went through 7 in 6 months. Sorry don't know how to do links but Google the Autoquad M4 fcb.

Well I was rather surprised how well the aged APM seems to work.

Yeah, I like my APM 2.8. I don't have video of doing it, but have done the same thing. It totally blew me away. Especially considering it was kinda a gusty out................
