    CineStar 360 vibration issues

    Have you managed to solve this issue yet? Pls keep us updated. I am planning on buying a CineStar 2D to mount on my MK Octa XL, and if I have similar issues it would be nice to know where to start looking to solve it.

    Cinestar or AV200 - which is more stable?

    Tks for the input. I will be using it on a MK OctaXL. Will the HiLander landing gear be good enough? (or will it also battle in sand... Im not sure I understand why it battles in sand...) Im still trying to decide where to mount the batteries on the Octa. For now the plan is to mount the...

    Cinestar or AV200 - which is more stable?

    Thanks arif2209. Could you maybe explain what it is that makes the Cinestar better for you? Is it more stable, stronger, etc? The Cinestar is much heavier, and that is the only thing I am concerned about at this point. But I do have an Octa XL, so should be able to lift the Cinestar easily...

    Cinestar or AV200 - which is more stable?

    Thank you, this is some great info I have not found elsewhere. I will need to carry a 5D with L lenses. For now only shooting photos and 360 Virtual Tours, but in the future I want to be able to do video too. If I was going photos only route (no video cam), then I would also look at the MK...

    Cinestar or AV200 - which is more stable?

    Cinestar or AV200 - which is more stable? Sorry if this has been discussed before. I have found a lot of opinions on sample videos, but not a lot of direct comparisons. So far it seems that more pros use the cinestar than the av200, but the av200 is cheaper and has some improvements on...

    Mikrokopter Can Mikrokopter FlightCtrl run a 2 axis gimbal directly?

    Thank you, this is very valuable info! How do you find the cinestar gimbal vs the av200? I'm about to buy a gimbal, and serriously thinking of going for the cinestar, rather than av200, but is the difference noticeable? Tks

    Mikrokopter Can Mikrokopter FlightCtrl run a 2 axis gimbal directly?

    Great, but sadly they are out of stock... Will this work? Can do both 5V/5A or 6V/5A ... http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__6320__TURNIGY_5_7_5A_8_42v_HV_UBEC_for_Lipoly.html or this one (8A or more): http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__6233__TURNIGY_8_15A_UBEC_for_Lipoly.html

    Mikrokopter Can Mikrokopter FlightCtrl run a 2 axis gimbal directly?

    Tks very much for the fast reply! So I would need 1x 6v BEC for each of the servos? (2 BEC's in total). Should I then also carry 2 batteries, or just one on the gimbal (maybe 2 would be easier to wiring and weight balancing).

    Which gimbal - Av200 or Cinestar or MK SLR2 for OctaXL

    I have an MK Octa XL, now in the final stages of choosing a 2-axis gimbal. Any input would be greatly appreciated. I have narrowed my gimbal options down to: Photohiger AV200 (using outputs from the MK FlightCtrl already running the OctaXL) Photohigher AV200 (using Skyline system.. when the...

    Mikrokopter Can Mikrokopter FlightCtrl run a 2 axis gimbal directly?

    Hi Still deciding which gimbal to buy (like MK HiLander SLR2 or Photohigher AV200). I want to run the gimbal stablisation from outputs on the MK FlightCtrl that is already running the OctaXL (ie. so only 1 set of gyros runs stabilisation of the OctaXL and the Gimbal as well). Is this...
