Just bought some HobbyKing F30A ESCs and flashed them with SimonK's firmware. And what a joy! Quiet, stable, smooth.
And yes, I'm touching the ground two times under that bridge. But the CopterControl board quickly stabilize the quad again...
The cheap HK ESCs suddenly behaves like something very expensive... Spec:
Frame: wood, approx 500 mm m2m
FC: OpenPilot CC
Motors: Mystery 2212 930KV
Battery: Turnigy Nano 2200
ESC: HobbyKing F30A with SimonK
Props: 9x5 Three Blade GWS
Camera: GoPro mounted with rubber dampeners. With two of six dampeners missing, so slight jello in this video...
