George, it's true, you have been extremely responsive helping all of us. I appreciate all of your time and help. So thank you. I know this stuff isn't trivial. On the other hand it has been a little frustrating doing essentially beta and even alfa testing of features I had hoped to utilize...

There are many practical benefits of a 360° gimbal with two operators where the platform can be positioned independently of the frame.

George, I've installed HD55 and I'm re-doing my entire setup to make sure it's as optimized as possible. A few questions and requests: 1) What's the timetable to add new orientation options? Would be ideal to allow any installation orientation but to start I'd love a vertical install where the...

Lars, your thorough methodology is impressive. I'm following this closely as I'm having similar issues with my 3XP on a CS360 gimbal. No matter what adjustments I make I can not eliminate what seem to be random anomalies. To help isolate what might be happening more closely I built a test stand...

Had a brief email exchange with George last night. His work schedule will prevent him from doing much for the next few days. He suggested to make sure the update is done on a Windows machine- but that's all I've been using for multi-rotor software so that's not the problem. I don't think it's...

Sounds like you got it figured out. There's a few sources for these kind of things. One of the best is these folks: http://www.dpcav.com/xcart/home.php?cat=258

Boris, if I were you I would not do anything yet until George knows definitively why some of the units are not functioning well with v.C005.

Okay, George, I've discovered something interesting about this issue. When I connect the PicLoc (with v.C005 firmware uploaded into it via Flash Magic) to the Toolz (also v.C005) it connects and reads data fine for 10 to 15 seconds. Then the error appears with various values. But if I quickly...

Okay, I reverted to v0.55 PRO firmware with Flash Magic. Then I follow your procedure but after doing an EEPROM save it does not change to the C005 firmware. It shows 0055. Also strange, the unit is a PRO but Toolz (v.C055) shows the PicLoc as standard (STD) and disables the magnetometer. Very...

Very good. I'm not in my shop at the moment but I'll do this ASAP. Just to clarify, I *can not* use flash magic to install the C055 hex file, correct?

George, any harm if I use flash magic to revert to the old v.55 and then start over installing the C055 update?

Thanks George. Just went through everything and changed/assigned a new value for all of it. Did an EEPROM save and I still get the error. So I went ahead and did a factory reset. No difference, unfortunately. Still get the error about about 10 to 15 seconds.

Hi George. I am getting a similar error to DKTek. I performed the procedure as you wrote. All goes well. But after re-enabling continuous updates the error message always appears after about ten seconds. Did I miss a step?

Well, the charge rate is dependent on a few things. The main factor is the chemistry. Not all polymers are the same and it's the higher-end chemistries that can tolerate the increased charging rates. The battery pack must be specifically rated for a charge rate above 1C and that info should be...

Bart, the packs are being charged via the main leads at 9A. They are also being actively balanced via the taps at 250mA. Those BC8dx chargers have integrated balance boards in them. You can't see the balance adapters in the photo but they have extension cables on them which reach outside the...

Bart, 80 watts per channel is low. I've seen guys with the iCharger doing 30A charge rates and it's pretty impressive. I also know guys with the Powerlab 8 and they love them. Just be sure to get a serious power supply for it. I've got a couple of Bantam BC8 chargers that can do two packs at 200...

It's difficult to judge scale from the earlier promo photos but after seeing this video the gimbal is much smaller than I thought. It appears the little NEX completely fills the mount. Too bad we have to wait for something larger. But there is certainly a compelling case for a fully integrated...

hugy, what drives the axis on the DJI gimbal?

Would be nice to have a density altitude setting on a pot we could dial in as needed. :nevreness:

Hi George, I've got my gains dialed in nicely with the 3X pro. The stabilization is functioning well. But I can not get the slew mode working properly. With slew mode unchecked, moving the sticks on the transmitter results in a nice, smooth, proportional movement of the axis as commanded. Works...
