    Tarot 2D Brushless gimbal gains issue

    Would I be better off ordering this controller and getting rid of the Tarot one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-axis-Camera-Mount-Brushless-Gimbal-Controller-IMU-Sensor-BGC-V2-2-Firmware-/261731867320?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cf06f5ab8&rmvSB=true Anyone have luck with them...

    Tarot 2D Brushless gimbal gains issue

    Oh, I used to have my camera hard mounted to the frame (well it sat on a plate with (4) vibration balls) and there was zero jello or vibrations. I just wanted a gimbal to smooth out the up/down and left/right pitches that happen when you're flying. Does that make it more likely it's the...

    Tarot 2D Brushless gimbal gains issue

    I just wish it would be 60F here one day soon in Wisconsin. Then I could put to bed the "maybes" for good. If it works outside in 60F weather, I then know it's the temperature and not my platform vibrating. Did you watch the video of it indoors? The video was rock solid and perfect. I know...

    Tarot 2D Brushless gimbal gains issue

    I'm shooting at 1080P / 30fps. The fastest the camera will allow. Maybe I need to bite the bullet and buy a gopro. SJ4000 has nice footage though.

    Tarot 2D Brushless gimbal gains issue

    I have a ND4 over the lens right now. I use a SJ4000 camera. I also use a video out cable, but the wire is silicone... so it doesn't get stiff in the cold. I don't think the damper balls are the problem, because as you can see from my videos, the "effects" come and go, as well as change how...

    Tarot 2D Brushless gimbal gains issue

    Thanks for the input Motopreserve. How come Tarot states it operates down to -15C then? It's 0C today and it's operating poorly. Would you agree that the issues I have are not jello related to my multicopter and it's gimbal driven? Do you have any ideas on how I can make it work in these...

    Tarot 2D Brushless gimbal gains issue

    Update: I spent last night playing with my motor power and gains and then did a test video under the snow covered street lights. All looked fine, so I figured I'd do a video in the daylight. That video is below. First here are my gains and motor power settings: Roll Motor Total Gain: 100...

    Tarot 2D Brushless gimbal gains issue

    And I do find it funny they list these temperature specs -- which I have proven in this thread seem to be inflated as I have issues as warm as 4c. - Working environment temperature: -15 ℃ ~ 65 ℃

    Tarot 2D Brushless gimbal gains issue

    No temperature compensation procedure for the Tarot board. These problems happen on the second and third battery swaps also, so I'm assuming it would be well acclimated by then? Seeing as it works fine in warmer weather, there's gotta be something I can do to recalibrate it for cold weather...

    Tarot 2D Brushless gimbal gains issue

    Check this out... Took my quadcopter to work today and flew it inside the heated warehouse. It's between 55F and 60F in there. As you can see, no vibrations, no jitters, no shaking and NO JELLO. After that, I immediately took it outside into the 25F air and it vibrates, jitters and shakes...

    Tarot 2D Brushless gimbal gains issue

    Thanks... so I may be pretty much out of luck until spring it seems. Most winter days are 20F-40F here, with a few down to 0F or so... I'm in Wisconsin. I wonder why it behaves erratically in the cold...all the other components on my quadcopter seem to handle the cold just fine. Since I've...

    Tarot 2D Brushless gimbal gains issue

    I bought the Tarot T-2d gimbal for Christmas and so far have found the settings listed in post #6 of this thread to be the best. Now I'm going to show you a video compilation I took today that clearly demonstrates my issues. In the first part of the video, all is good. No jello or shaking...

    NAZA-M GPS Module

    Yes exactly 16 hours. So is it an issue with the firmware on the Naza? Not something I can fix?

    NAZA-M GPS Module

    Anyone else having problems with their Naza v2 GPS module? I upgraded from Naza Lite to Naza v2 and log my data with Flytrex. Well..... now my time stamp is off 16 hours (time logged is 16 hours earlier than when I actually flew). Time was spot on with Naza Lite, so I doubt it's the Flytrex...
